FURIOUS Donald Trump has declared he hates Taylor Swift after the singer endorsed Kamala Harris for the election.
The former President went off on Swift on Sunday, posting the angered announcement to his own social media platform, Truth Social.

Swift endorsed Harris shortly after the bad-tempered showdown ended at Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center.
The 14-time Grammy winner – who is dating Kansas City Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce – penned a lengthy Instagram statement to her 283 million followers.
She called Harris a “steady-handed, gifted leader” and rallied for the country to be “led by calm and not chaos.”
Swift signed off her post as “Childless Cat Lady,” in reference to a comment made by Trump’s running mate JD Vance.
Following the endorsement, Trump took to the social media platform he made called Truth Social and furiously posted in all caps on Sunday: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”
The post accumulated thousands of likes and so-called ‘ReTruths’.
Trump also appeared on Fox News’ breakfast show Fox & Friends to discuss the debate and Swift’s endorsement of Harris.
“I actually like [Brittany] Mahomes much better, if you want to know the truth. She’s a big Trump fan,” Trump declared, via the NY Post.
Brittany is the wife of NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who plays alongside Kelce with the Chiefs.
Swift and Brittany forged a friendship during the 2023 season and were regularly seen watching their partners play from luxury suites in stadiums across the country.
Brittany recently came out in support of Trump, prompting rumors of a “feud” between the pair.
“I like Brittany. I think Brittany’s great,” Trump continued.
“She’s a big, she’s a big MAGA fan. Much better than Taylor Swift.”
As previously reported, a source has since told The U.S. Sun that there was “no rift” between the two friends.
It comes as Taylor Swift spoke directly to Kamala Harris on two separate occasions before making the bombshell public endorsement of her push for the White House, The U.S. Sun has been told.
A source close to the Cruel Summer star’s entourage stressed that the singing superstar is convinced the current vice president is “the only option” ahead of the November election battle with Donald Trump.
The U.S. Sun revealed last month that Taylor was ready to endorse Harris once the blockbuster European leg of her Eras tour ended.
PRESIDENTIAL PUSH
According to the insider, President Joe Biden’s camp desperately wanted her to rescue his faltering push for a second term before the Democrats pulled the plug on his campaign in July and pivoted to Harris.
But with Taylor, who backed Biden in 2020, now enjoying some downtime before she starts performing again in North America next month, she readily took the opportunity to post a message of endorsement on Instagram just moments after the contentious debate on Tuesday night in Philadelphia.

“She felt she needed to speak out as the election process is getting more intense,” the well-placed source told The U.S Sun.
“The time just felt right.”
The insider confirmed Taylor had spoken to Harris “a couple of times on the phone” lately and knows exactly how significant the build-up to polling day on November 5 is for every American.
“Taylor is very aware of the problems, issues, and struggles that many people go through in the country,” continued the source. “She thinks Kamala is the only option to help create a better society and America for everyone.”
CALL TO ARMS
Her scathing takedown of Trump’s running mate JD Vance, who sparked outrage with his now infamous “childless cat ladies” jibe, spread like wildfire on social media less than an hour after the often fiery debate between Trump and Harris concluded in Philadelphia.
Trump, who dubbed his performance “his best debate ever,” surprisingly repeated wild conspiracy theories about immigrants eating dogs and cats in Ohio, with Harris riling the 78-year-old about his criminal convictions handed down to him earlier this year.
Taylor has nailed her political allegiances to the mast during previous elections.
INCREDIBLE INFLUENCE
But with the race becoming nail-bitingly close, and knowing the influence she has over her millions of fans, the time was right to make a stand against Trump’s push for a return to the Oval Office.
“It is very important for her to voice her opinion and show support for who she thinks will be best for the country, and she is very proud and excited for Kamala Harris to have the possibility to become the next president and that woman can be in this position,” said the source.
“Taylor is an artist that wants to be engaged socially, to speak about causes that she values a lot and that has a lot that she likes on Kamala Harris’s vision and perspectives for America.”
The Shake It Off star wrote to her 283 million followers on Instagram that she not only did she back Harris for the White House, but laid bare her anger at AI tools “falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site.”
