Time’s Person of the Year, Taylor Swift, keeps getting dragged deeper into the throes of politics, ticking off some higher-ups, including Donald Trump, who fancies himself more popular. Taylor has an impressive history of swaying political decisions. Last September, her Instagram post encouraging fans to register to vote drove up to 35,000 new registrations within hours. She also spoke in favor of the Democratic candidate during the 2018 Tennessee congressional races. She made another partisan move in 2020, endorsing Joe Biden. This history seems to keep top political figures on their feet, regarding Taylor as a key component in the election.
Donald Trump Reportedly Thinks Himself More Popular Than Taylor
Sources close to the Republican presidential candidate revealed that he particularly has the singer on his lips for all the fragile reasons. The report stated that Donald Trump believes himself to be more popular than Taylor Swift, per Rolling Stone. Additionally, he deems himself more deserving of the 2023 Time Person of the Year honor, which the 34-year-old snagged last year.
According to sources, the politician believes it makes no sense that Time magazine failed to bestow him with the Person of the Year honor over Taylor Swift. While Trump fancies himself a hotter take than the Cruel Summer singer, several of his key supporters perceive the imminent threat.
Speaking to the outlet, insiders disclosed that key players in Donald Trump’s campaign fear Taylor Swift would offset the election results if she endorsed Joe Biden. Her vast influence, with millions of fans outweighing the number of voters, could stir the outcome of the elections against the conservatives.
To nip the issue in the bud, sources claim Donald Trump‘s key supporters intend to wage a “holy war’ against Taylor Swift. They’ve also utilized various platforms to stage passive-aggressive attacks aimed at discrediting Taylor and her influence. The Biden campaign understands the stakes, with reports suggesting Taylor’s endorsement was the biggest prize they sought. So far, the star has yet to voice her stance or publicly pick a side in the elections, further heightening the suspense.
