President Donald Trump couldn’t resist taunting Taylor Swift while hosting the Philadelphia Eagles at the White House.
The NFL team, excluding quarterback Jalen Hurts and several other players, visited 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on Monday to celebrate their Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 9.
“I was there along with Taylor Swift,” Trump noted during his speech.
“How did that work out?” he then asked rhetorically, as the crowd laughed. He repeated, “How did that one work out?”
The 47th US president showed up at the big game alongside his kids Ivanka and Eric Trump.
Swift also attended to support her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
But despite coming in with two consecutive Super Bowl victories, the Chiefs fell short, losing to the Eagles 22–40.
At one point, Swift was shown on the jumbotron at Caesars Superdome, prompting boos from football fans as she issued an intense side-eye in response.
Trump has made no secret of his disdain for the “Bad Blood” singer.
After Swift, 35, endorsed Kamala Harris for president ahead of the 2024 election, he slammed the Grammy winner on his Truth Social platform.
“I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” Trump, 78, wrote via the platform in September 2024.
In August 2024, Trump posted AI-generated images on Truth Social falsely suggesting Swift's support for his campaign.
One image depicted Swift dressed as Uncle Sam with the caption, "Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump." Another showed fans wearing "Swifties for Trump" T-shirts.
Trump captioned the post with "I accept!"
These posts sparked backlash from Swift's fanbase, with many urging her to take legal action.
When questioned about the AI-generated images, Trump denied creating them, stating, "I don't know anything about them, other than somebody else generated them. I didn't generate them."
He added, "AI is always very dangerous in that way."
Despite the controversy, Swift has not publicly responded to Trump's remarks or the AI-generated images.
She has previously expressed her political views, endorsing Democratic candidates and advocating for various social issues.
Her fans, known as Swifties, hadbeen active in political discourse, with some forming groups like "Swifties for Kamala" to support Kamala Harris's presidential campaign.
