Trump responds negatively to Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris.
- Trump made his comment on Truth Social, a website owned by the Trump Media & Technology Group.
- The impact of celebrity endorsements on the presidential race, even for popular figures like Swift, remains unclear.
- Previously, Trump shared fake images on social media that depicted Swift and her fans supporting him.
On Sunday, less than a week after Taylor Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, former president Donald Trump criticized the pop star.
Trump posted on Truth Social, "I hate Taylor Swift!"
On Tuesday, Swift endorsed Harris in an Instagram post following the presidential debate between the two major party candidates.
Swift wrote in a post that she thinks a steady-handed, gifted leader is needed to accomplish more in the country, and she signed the caption as "childless cat lady" in reference to remarks made by Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance.
Trump's fake AI-generated images of Swift and her fans supporting him prompted her to publicly endorse him.
Even for popular figures like Swift, the impact of celebrity endorsements on the presidential race is uncertain. In just one day, her endorsement of Harris resulted in over 300,000 visitors to Vote.gov, a government website that provides state-specific voting information.
