This year, two big things had everyone in America buzzing. One, of course, is the NFL, but that happens every year. The second was the U.S. Presidential Election. Now that’s something people couldn’t stop talking about. Everyone was waiting on the edge of their seats to find out who the 47th president would be. And despite all the drama and controversies swirling around, Donald Trump pulled it off and snagged the win. And guess what? After beating Kamala Harris, Trump managed to surpass pop icon Taylor Swift on X.

To be exact, Trump now has 94,754,047 followers on X, while Taylor Swift has 94,731,484. That’s 22,563 more followers than the “Shake It Off” singer! It’s pretty wild considering Swift’s global fanbase, but Trump has certainly made a splash in the social media world​.

Taylor Swift has been a digital queen on X for ages. She’s got that cultural dominance, boosted by her world tours and chart-topping albums. She’s not only followed in America, but has millions of fans worldwide.

On the flip side, Trump has been in the spotlight, especially since his 2015 presidential campaign. He won the 2016 election, becoming the 45th President of the United States. A businessman by trade, he became the first U.S. president with no military or government background. And just when you think he can’t get any more unpredictable, here he is, taking down Swift on X. Adding another chapter to his public shenanigans!

Taylor Swift has never been shy about her dislike for Trump. With their differing ideologies, it’s no surprise they’ve had a pretty tense relationship over the years. The whole feud started back in 2018 when Swift publicly backed Democratic Senate candidate Phil Bredesen over Republican Marsha Blackburn. During this election, Taylor Swift was also pretty vocal about supporting Kamala Harris.

Since the 2018 feud, Donald Trump hasn’t exactly held back. He has made sure to keep his opinions known, especially when it comes to Swift’s political involvement.

Trump ‘dislikes’ Taylor Swift’s music

For quite a while, Trump has kept throwing in his two cents about Swift, whether it’s through comments or digs here and there. After the 2018 feud, when Taylor Swift called Republican Marsha Blackburn “Trump in a wig,” Trump fired back, saying, “Let’s just say I like Taylor’s music about 25% less now, okay?” He made this remark while addressing reporters at the White House.

Fast forward to 2023, when Swift began dating Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, and of course, Trump had something to say about it. And let’s just say, it wasn’t exactly positive. While talking to media and when asked about his opinion, Trump said, “I hope they enjoy their life, maybe together, maybe not — most likely not.” Swift’s dating life has always been front and center in the media, and naturally, everyone’s got something to say. It’s no surprise that she tends to write songs about her relationships. Fans are quick to play detective, trying to figure out which ex inspired each new track.

Lately, an AI-generated video featuring Trump and Taylor Swift has been going viral. In this video, he is “singing” a song to the pop star, with the lyrics: “Taylor, it’s done. Just thought of checking. I know that you are not used to being on the losing side.” The viral AI video also throws in a line about Chiefs star QB Patrick Mahomes‘ wife, Brittany. In it, Trump says, “You should have voted more like Patrick’s wife, shut up. Brittany.” For context, there’s been some chatter that Brittany is a Trump supporter.

Well, it seems the pop star and the U.S. prez are going to continue their supposed feud, and social media users are enjoying every bit of it.
