Trump made a five-word joke about Taylor Swift.
Trump recently poked fun at Taylor Swift during a visit to Philadelphia, where he attended an event with the Eagles. The visit followed the Eagles’ Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Trump took the opportunity to praise the team’s performance, especially quarterback Jalen Hurts, who was named Super Bowl MVP.
Despite some key absences, including quarterback Jalen Hurts, Trump praised the Eagles for their strategy, particularly their controversial “tush push” play. He also recognized star running back Saquon Barkley and invited players like Lane Johnson to speak. When talking about Taylor Swift, Trump shifted his tone, noting the varied fan reactions to her appearances at Kansas City Chiefs games. Reflecting on the Super Bowl, Trump called it “an incredible game” and noted the historic significance of being the first sitting president to attend.
Trump sarcastically commented, “I was there with Taylor Swift. How did that work out?” His remarks reflect ongoing tension with Swift, especially after her support for Kamala Harris. Trump has expressed disdain for Swift in the past, stating on Truth Social, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” and on Fox & Friends, claiming her liberal stance might cost her in the market. His conflicts with celebrities endorsing political rivals have shaped his strong opinions.
One person joked that Trump and Taylor Swift’s rivalry is bigger than a Philly cheesesteak, adding that Trump couldn’t “shake it off.” They also quipped that the Eagles, flying high with victories, missed a chance by not inviting Swift for a halftime show. Another person echoed similar humor, comparing their beef to a Philly cheesesteak and wishing for a Swift performance at the Eagles’ victory event.
NBC News correspondent Yamiche Alcindor reported that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts would miss the White House visit. A White House official confirmed Hurts and other players who couldn’t attend had “scheduling conflicts.” The visit was set for Monday following the Eagles’ Super Bowl win.
The Philadelphia Eagles celebrated their remarkable back-to-back Super Bowl wins, securing two trophies in five seasons. This victory solidifies their place among the top teams in the league. The announcement of this success marks an important milestone in their franchise’s history.
