US President Donald Trump has reignited his long-running feud with pop icon Taylor Swift, posting on his Truth Social handle on Friday that the singer is “no longer hot” since he publicly expressed his dislike for her. “Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT’, she’s no longer ‘HOT?’” Trump posted, sparking a wave of online backlash.

The inflammatory comment comes after Swift’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for the 2024 presidential election. “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,” Swift posted on Instagram following the first and only debate between Harris and Trump.

Swift, who has a history of criticising Trump, previously accused him of undermining democracy. In 2019, she called his leadership style “autocratic”, and in 2020, she condemned his remarks during the George Floyd protests, accusing him of fueling white supremacy.
