Donald Trump Says Taylor Swift Will ‘Pay a Price’ for Endorsing Kamala Harris
In the same breath, the former president complimented Swift’s friend Brittany Mahomes, who recently liked MAGA content on social media
Former President Donald Trump shook off Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign, while also taking a moment to compliment Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
“I was not a Taylor Swift fan,” Trump said in a morning interview with Fox & Friends on Wednesday, Sept. 11. “It was just a question of time… But she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.”
The “Cruel Summer” singer, 34, threw her support behind Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, on Instagram following the conclusion of the presidential debate between Harris and Trump in Philadelphia.
“Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight,” Swift, 34, wrote in her post accompanied by a photo of herself holding a cat. “If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country.”
Swift mentioned the fake A.I.-generated images that falsely showed her supporting the former president, who shared them on his Truth Social platform.
“It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation,” Swift added. “It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.”
Swift signed her post as “Childless Cat Lady,” a reference to controversial 2021 comments made by Trump’s running mate, J.D. Vance.

In the same Fox interview, Trump said he liked Swift’s friend Brittany Mahomes, 29, “much better.”
“She’s a big Trump fan,” said the former president, later adding: “I like Brittany. I think Brittany’s great … She’s a big MAGA fan. That’s the one I like much better than Taylor Swift.”
Brittany’s husband, Patrick, 28, is a teammate of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, 34, who is dating Swift.
Multiple outlets previously reported that Swift and Brittany — who have watched Chiefs games together in the past — were in separate suites for the Chiefs’ home opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 5. It prompted speculation of a rift between the two friends.
Such rumors, however, were dashed when Swift and Brittany reunited at the U.S. Open in New York City three days later during the men’s single final.
Swift was at the tennis event with Kelce after the two attended a wedding together on Sept. 7. At the Open, the couple caught up with the Mahomeses and at one point, Swift and Brittany shared a hug.
Swift previously backed Joe Biden’s presidential bid in 2020, and was expected to express support for Harris at some point before Election Day.
Following the news of Swift’s support for the Harris-Walz 2024 campaign, Walz told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow: “I am incredibly grateful, first of all, to Taylor Swift. I say that also as a cat owner — a fellow cat owner.”
“That was eloquent and it was clear,” Walz added. “And that’s the type of courage we need in America, to stand up.”
“We’ve seen it out of those Republicans who were at the DNC, we’ve seen it out of women who would like to have their own personal lives kept personal, but are forced to go out there cause they nearly died because they can’t get abortion services in a pregnancy,” he further said. “And now you have somebody like Taylor Swift, coming out and making that very clear.
