Donald Trump has declared Taylor Swift is “no longer hot” in a new post on social media, reigniting his mostly one-sided feud with the global megastar.
The US President – currently on his way home from a whirlwind diplomatic trip to the Middle East – has repeatedly targeted Swift since 2020, when she endorsed former President Joe Biden in that year’s presidential race.
Last September, when the wildly-successful musician again endorsed his opponent – this time former Vice President Kamala Harris – Mr Trump wrote in a Truth Social post: “I hate Taylor Swift.”
And on Friday, the President made it clear he’s still nursing a grudge against the wealthiest female musician on the planet when he took to the platform – seemingly unprompted and without further elaboration – and wrote: “Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT’, she’s no longer ‘HOT’?”.
Bar her endorsements of Mr Biden and Ms Harris, Swift has publicly ignored the 78-year-old’s relentless swipes.

Mr Trump followed his shot at Swift with a lengthy tirade against Bruce Springsteen.
In another Truth Social post, the President said the music legend was a “dried out prune” who was “dumb as a rock”, seemingly in retaliation to Springsteen criticising the leader – without naming him – at a concert in Manchester earlier this week.
“In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, and has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration,” Springsteen told fans during his ‘Land of Hope and Dreams’ tour.
“Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism, and let freedom ring.”
“I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States,” Mr Trump wrote, before really letting rip.
“Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics, and, importantly, he’s not a talented guy – Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK, who fervently supported Crooked Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President, who came close to destroying our country.
“If I wasn’t elected, it would have been GONE by now! Sleepy Joe didn’t have a clue as to what he was doing, but Springsteen is ‘dumb as a rock,’ and couldn’t see what was going on, or could he (which is even worse!)?
“This dried out ‘prune’ of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country, that’s just ‘standard fare.’ Then we’ll all see how it goes for him!”
American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada, Tino Gargliadi, issued a statement in response to Mr Trump’s rant against both Swift and Springsteen, saying it would “not remain silent as two of our members … are singled out and personally attacked by the President of the United States”.
“Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift are not just brilliant musicians, they are role models and inspirations to millions of people in the United States and across the world,” he continued.
“Whether it’s Born in the USA or the Eras Tour, their music is timeless, impactful, and has deep cultural meaning. Musicians have the right to freedom of expression, and we stand in solidarity with all our members.”
