Donald Trump Suggests Taylor Swift Is Secretly “In Love” With Him, Pointing to Her Frequent Comments on His Actions Especially After Ordering Troops to Use Full Force in Portland, While Also Wishing Her Luck on Her ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ Album

Donald Trump Suggests Taylor Swift Is “In Love” With Him After Portland Troop Controversy, While Wishing Her Luck on New Album

In a bizarre blend of politics and pop culture, President Donald Trump has suggested that global superstar Taylor Swift may secretly be “in love” with him — pointing to her frequent criticism of his decisions as evidence.

Speaking in remarks that quickly went viral, Trump claimed he could “tell” Swift has been “about his business” lately, especially after she condemned his order for federal troops to use “full force” in Portland against protesters. According to Trump, her outspoken commentary reveals something deeper than opposition.

“She keeps talking about me, always has something to say about what I’m doing,” Trump told reporters. “When somebody is that focused on you, it’s not just politics. I can tell — she’s in love with me, whether she knows it or not.”

Swift, who has been one of Trump’s most prominent celebrity critics in recent years, has repeatedly blasted his rhetoric and policies. Her latest statements targeted his controversial military crackdown in Portland, calling it “terrifying and dangerous for American democracy.” Yet Trump chose to interpret the attention as admiration rather than resistance.

Adding to the unusual moment, Trump shifted tones and extended a public show of support for Swift’s career. Despite her sharp critiques, he said he wished her “luck and success” with her newly released album, The Life of a Showgirl.

“I don’t mind the criticism,” Trump said. “She’s talented, and I hope her album does well. Good luck to her.”

The former president’s comments triggered a firestorm online. Supporters chuckled at his confidence, while Swift’s fans blasted the remarks as dismissive, claiming Trump was trivializing her political activism by framing it as a personal crush.

Political observers noted that Trump’s comments fit into his long-standing pattern of blurring lines between personal attention and political scrutiny, often painting critics as secretly fascinated with him.

Meanwhile, Swift has not directly responded to Trump’s latest remarks, though her past statements have made clear she sees his policies as dangerous, not desirable.

Still, the moment underscores the odd collision between celebrity culture and politics in America, where an artist’s call for accountability can be spun into a former president’s boast of secret romance.
