How Taylor Swift is making Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy and others very uncomfortable ahead of 2024 election
GOP vs Taylor Swift: Why Trump and allies have called for 'holy war' against singer
Former POTUS Donald Trump is reportedly miffed with Taylor Swift's popularity amidst rumors of her supposed endorsement of President Joe Biden.
Although the 'Lavender Haze' singer has yet to issue an endorsement of any presidential candidate, some conservative voices have convinced themselves that the current NFL season has been manipulated to facilitate a Super Bowl stage for Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. Meanwhile, a source close to Trump has revealed to Rolling Stone magazine that supporters of the MAGA figurehead are gearing up for a "holy war" against the pop megastar.
Here are 8 Trump allies who have spoken out against the hitmaker:
1. Vivek Ramaswamy

Ramaswamy, the former GOP presidential candidate, posted on X (formely, Twitter) on Monday, January 29, "I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month. And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall. Just some wild speculation over here, let’s see how it ages over the next 8 months." Although there's no evidence to support the theory that the Super Bowl is rigged, the biotech multimillionaire implied that the budding relationship between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift is a massive ruse to set the stage for an eventual Biden endorsement.

2. Greg Kelly
Newsmax host Greg Kelly slammed Taylor Swift fans, or 'Swifties', by invoking the Bible and calling their support of the pop icon a "sin." Kelly remarked on his show, “They’re elevating her to an idol. Idolatry. This is a little bit of what idolatry, I think, looks like. And you’re not supposed to do that. In fact, if you look it up in the Bible, it’s a sin!”
3. Alison Steinberg
The recent uproar against Taylor Swift from the conservative voices online has been unmistakably fervent. Alison Steinberg, host of One America News, has gone so far as to suggest that Swift is being “owned by (George) Soros,” a long-standing object of disdain for the right due to his support of progressive causes.
4. Judge Jeanine Pirro
During an appearance on 'The Five' on Monday, January 29, Fox News’ Judge Jeanine Pirro urged Taylor Swift not to “get involved in politics” because that might “alienate your fans.” Although Pirro's comments weren't overtly cutthroat like some of the others', it would be interesting to see if the pop artist would heed to her tongue-in-cheek advice, since she had already endorsed President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
5. Jack Lombardi
Jack Lombardi, a conservative activist from Illinois who unsuccessfully campaigned for the House in 2022, likewise alleged on social media that the Super Bowl is rigged. Lombardi tweeted on Sunday night, "I have never been more convinced that the Super Bowl is rigged. With all the unneeded and unwanted Taylor coverage at the games. KC's journey to the Superbowl - totally scripted. Next... Travis and Taylor together at the Super Bowl, appearing happy, and in love. Then KC wins. And then later announcing their support for Biden. Coincidental? No. Bought and paid for couple. SMH. Bookmark this post."
6. Laura Loomer
Self-proclaimed 'proud Islamophobe' and far-right activist Laura Loomer claimed, “The Democrats’ Taylor Swift election interference psyop is happening in the open.” She added, “It’s not a coincidence that current and former Biden admin officials are propping up Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. They are going to use Taylor Swift as the poster child for their pro-abortion (get out the vote) Campaign.”
7. Donald Trump
Former President Donald Trump has himself reportedly claimed to his allies that an endorsement from Taylor Swift will not be significant enough to impact incumbent President Joe Biden’s chances of winning the 2024 presidential election. Despite the 81-year-old Commander-in-Chief receiving Swift's endorsement in the 2020 presidential election, his predecessor maintains that he is “more popular” than the 12-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and is assured of securing a comfortable victory in the upcoming November general elections.
8. Tim Burchett
Tim Burchett, a congressman from Tennessee, claimed that Taylor Swift has "no chance" at swaying the 2024 election. "Basically, he tells the cameraman she's all talk cause she previously came out to speak against Tennessee's Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn ... and it didn't move the needle," TMZ Sports reported. Burchett also apparently added that a "celeb endorsement doesn't mean much in general ... all it does is just become a scenario where both teams think they've won by bringing in top dogs as backup."
