Trump responded to the idea that Taylor Swift might support Joe Biden for president by privately claiming he is more popular than the biggest musician on the planet.
Rolling Stone reported:
Backstage, Trump reacted to the possibility of Biden and Swift teaming up with him this year not with alarm but with an immediate projection of ego. In recent weeks, the former president has been telling those around him that no amount of endorsements from A-list celebrities will be able to save Biden. Trump has also privately claimed that she is “more popular” than Swift and that she has more devoted fans than Swift, a Trump associate and other sources familiar with the matter told Rolling Stone.
Last month, the former president told some of his associates that it “clearly” didn't make sense that he wasn't named Time magazine's 2023 Person of the Year, according to a source close to him. This honor went to Swift in December. .
