‘Trying to win Swifties votes’: Internet muses as pic of Donald Trump allegedly looking up ‘Folklore’ by Taylor Swift goes viral

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: A photo of Donald Trump listening to Taylor Swift's 'Folklore' has baffled the internet.

In 2020, ex-POTUS and Swift engaged in a bitter social media exchange when the singer lashed out at him for threatening military force against Black Lives Matter protesters in Minnesota. Swift at that time tagged Trump in her Tweet saying, “We will vote you out in November.”

What did Donald Trump say about Taylor Swift?

However, way before the incident, Trump was a listener of the pop icon’s songs. In 2017, a reporter for Axios dug into the Facebook feed of the former first lady Melania Trump and discovered a precious clip. The video, originally from 2014, showed Trump steering his Rolls Royce while listening to Taylor Swift’s single ‘Blank Space’. The same video created waves on the Internet even in 2020.

On February 11, hours before Super Bowl LVIII kicked off, as social media buzzed with game predictions and Traylor memes, Trump claimed that he made the singer "so much money."

He said, "There's no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money," Trump posted on Truth Social.

Now a recent X post has gone viral, where Trump is seen listening to Swift's 'Folklore'. Social media users are however skeptical about the authenticity of the fact. The post was captioned, "Former President Donald Trump listens to folklore by Taylor Swift in new photos at the White House dinner table."

Another user said, "This HAS to be photoshop." Another user wrote,"GET A JOB LEAVE HER ALONE."
