BREAKING NEWS: Trump Seizes Opportunity to Troll Taylor Swift, Reposting His ‘Taylor’s No Longer Hot’ Remark After Her Awardless Night at the 2025 American Music Awards Ceremony

Donald Trump Reignites Feud with Taylor Swift, Reposting ‘No Longer Hot’ Jab After Her 2025 AMA Shutout

In a move that has once again stirred the pot of celebrity-political drama, President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on May 16, 2025, to repost a provocative comment about pop superstar Taylor Swift, claiming she is “no longer hot” following her failure to win any awards at the 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs). The repost, which echoed his earlier September 2024 statement, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,” has reignited a one-sided feud that began during the 2024 presidential election campaign. Trump’s latest jab has sparked widespread discussion, with fans, critics, and even some of his supporters questioning the timing and intent behind his remarks.

The Backstory: A Feud Rooted in Politics

The tension between Trump and Swift dates back to 2018, when Swift broke her political silence by endorsing Democratic candidates Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper in the Tennessee midterm elections. Trump, then president, responded by saying he liked her music “25% less.” The feud escalated significantly in 2024 when Trump reposted AI-generated images falsely suggesting Swift endorsed his presidential campaign. Swift, who had not made an endorsement at the time, responded by publicly backing Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in September 2024, labeling herself a “childless cat lady” in a pointed jab at comments made by Trump’s running mate, JD Vance.

Trump’s reaction was swift and vitriolic. On September 15, 2024, he posted, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” on Truth Social, a statement that shocked many given Swift’s global popularity and cultural influence. The following day, he doubled down on Fox & Friends, stating, “I was not a Taylor Swift fan… 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.” Despite Trump’s claims, Swift’s career has shown no signs of slowing down. Her Eras Tour, which concluded in December 2024, grossed over $2 billion, making it the highest-grossing tour in history, and she remains one of the most-streamed artists on platforms like Spotify.

The AMA Snub and Trump’s Repost

The 2025 AMAs, held recently, saw Taylor Swift nominated but walking away empty-handed, a rare occurrence for an artist with 40 AMA wins, more than any other performer.
