Donald Trump says Taylor Swift ‘no longer hot' due to his own criticism, continues public feud after her endorsement of Kamala Harris

On Friday morning, US President Donald Trump said Taylor Swift is 'no longer hot,' linking the change to his earlier declaration that he 'hates' her. Posting on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote, 'Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer 'HOT?'' He did not provide any further explanation.
This is Trump's latest post targeting the globally successful musician, whose public support for Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 election season triggered Trump's online remarks last year.

Swift endorsed Kamala Harris after debate with Trump
Taylor Swift publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for president after the September 10, 2024, debate between Harris and Trump. In an Instagram post shared with her 284 million followers, Swift wrote, 'I'm voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.' She also said Harris is a 'steady-handed, gifted leader' and emphasized the importance of calm leadership over chaos.
The post, which came shortly after the debate, received over 9 million likes and generated widespread attention. The endorsement was seen by many political observers as a significant moment in the race.
Trump's response escalated over time
Trump initially responded to Swift's endorsement by saying he was 'not a Taylor fan.' However, days later, he escalated his reaction by posting in all caps on Truth Social, 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!' That post was a turning point in his public criticism of the singer, which has since become more direct and personal.
In previous years, Trump had made lighter comments about Swift. After she backed Democratic candidates in the 2018 midterm elections, he told reporters, 'Let's say that I like Taylor's music about 25% less now.'
Political impact and public reaction
Trump's latest attack comes as polling shows Kamala Harris gaining support, leading some to speculate that Swift's endorsement could have political influence. In response to Trump's posts, Harris' running mate Tim Walz wrote on X (formerly Twitter): 'Swifties: With your help we're gonna defeat the smallest man who ever lived.' The comment was a reference to Swift's song 'The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.'
Trump's post also sparked reactions online, with Swift supporters sharing 'I LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT' messages on social media. Meanwhile, some Trump supporters used the moment to criticize the Democratic administration.
Despite the back-and-forth, Swift continues to dominate the music world. Her 'Eras Tour' concluded last December as the first $2 billion tour in music history. She holds the record for the most Grammy album of the year wins and has a net worth of $1.6 billion, according to Forbes.

'Midnight Hammer': What if US bombing on Iran's nuclear sites was effective - and that's the problem?

By striking three major nuclear facilities in Iran -- Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan -- US President Donald Trump may have delivered a "bold" military blow to Tehran's declared nuclear program. But analysts warn that this apparent tactical victory may come at a strategic cost- making it far more difficult to track what's left of Iran's nuclear activities and where they now lie. The US, in a midnight operation, targeted Iran's three key sites using B-2 bombers loaded with Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOPs). Satellite images of Fordow show new craters and possible tunnel collapses, but no confirmed damage to the underground enrichment halls. Natanz suffered only partial damage to surface-level infrastructure during earlier Israeli raids, with the extent of US impact still unclear. The most visible destruction appears to be at Isfahan, though reports suggest Iran may have relocated uranium stockpiles ahead of the attacks. Trump hailed the operation as a 'spectacular military success,' saying the sites had been 'totally obliterated.' US defense secretary Pete Hegseth added that the strikes were focused and avoided civilian casualties. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mannheim: GEERS sucht 700 Testhörer für Hörgeräte ohne Zuzahlung GEERS Undo However, the long-term consequences may be less about what was destroyed and more about what's now untraceable. Follow live updates on Iran-Israel crisis Fallout for nuclear monitoring The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which previously conducted inspections at these sites, has now lost access to key materials and locations. The core mission of the IAEA is to meticulously track even gram-level quantities of uranium globally to prevent its diversion for nuclear weapons. However, according to Tariq Rauf, former head of the agency's nuclear verification policy, the recent airstrikes have significantly complicated efforts to monitor Iran's uranium stockpile. 'It will now be very difficult for the IAEA to establish a material balance for the nearly 9,000 kilograms of enriched uranium, especially the nearly 410 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium,' Bloomberg reported quoting Rauf. Moreover, inspectors, last week, admitted they had lost track of Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, citing Israeli military operations as a key obstacle to their monitoring efforts. The uranium—previously verified by IAEA inspectors at the Isfahan facility—is sufficient to produce up to 10 nuclear warheads if processed at a covert location. Given its compact volume, small enough to fit into just 16 containers, experts believe the material may have already been relocated to an undisclosed site. What's left and what's next? Iran's nuclear capabilities are widely distributed across hardened facilities and backed by a workforce of thousands. Even if major sites are damaged, the infrastructure, expertise, and undeclared centrifuge stockpiles remain intact. "As for Iran's technical expertise, it cannot be destroyed, knowing that thousands of people have participated in Iran's nuclear programme," AFP quoted nuclear expert Heloise Fayet saying. While Iran is yet to respond militarily, experts suggest it may opt for a measured escalation — symbolic retaliation against Israel or Gulf targets, rather than directly drawing the US into a prolonged conflict.

Iran's top security council mulls closing Strait of Hormuz after US strikes on nuclear sites

The Strait of Hormuz, which lies between Iran and its Gulf Arab neighbors, is one of the world's most critical energy chokepoints.

The move follows recent US airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities including the fortified Fordow enrichment site. While no final decision has been made, closing the strait is now under serious consideration as the regional conflict intensifies. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Iran's parliament has approved a measure to close the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil shipping route, following US strikes on Iran's nuclear sites, state-run Press TV reported on Sunday. Major General Kowsari, a member of the parliament's National Security… — Iran International English (@IranIntl_En) June 22, 2025 If carried out, such a step could severely disrupt global energy flows. Nearly one-fifth of the world's oil and gas passes through the narrow Strait of Hormuz daily, linking producers like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iraq, Qatar and Iran to global markets. The waterway, only 33 kilometres wide at its narrowest point with shipping lanes barely 3 kilometres across in each direction, is considered one of the world's most sensitive maritime choke points. The closure threat highlights the potential for a wider economic fallout from the escalating hostilities in West Asia. 'We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,' US President Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. 'A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow.' Trump added that 'all planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors.' Trump's announcement came just two days after he said he would decide 'within two weeks' whether to join key ally Israel in attacking Iran. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Earlier on Saturday there were reports that US B-2 bombers – which carry so-called 'bunker buster' bombs – were headed out of the United States. Trump did not say what kind of US planes or munitions were involved. Tehran had threatened reprisals on US forces in the Middle East if Trump attacked but the US president called for 'peace.' 'There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!' he said. With inputs from agencies
