Taylor Swift hasn’t even endorsed Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign, but Trump and his allies are gearing up for the culture war fight.

"Behind the scenes, Trump has reacted to the possibility of Biden and Swift teaming up against him this year not with alarm, but with an instant projection of ego. In recent weeks, the former president has told people in his orbit that no amount of A-list celebrity endorsements will save Biden. Trump has also privately claimed that he is ‘more popular’ than Swift is and that he has more committed fans than she does.”

“Last month, the source close to Trump adds, the ex-president commented to some confidants that it “obviously” made no sense that he was not named Time magazine’s 2023 Person of the Year — an honor that went to none other than Swift in December.”

    Just to be clear Donnie, you have more fans that should be committed. It’s a subtle difference, but an important one.

        Yeah, he got his fans to march on the Capitol, and then get arrested for it, and a whole bunch of those still support him. Not saying there aren’t Swifties that would go to insane lengths for her, but Taylor hasn’t tested her fan’s loyalty at that level, at least not yet.
