In his latest book, “The Apprentice,” Donald Trump describes Taylor Swift as unusually beautiful and identifies her as a liberal. Trump reflects on the pop icon’s persona in his memoir, “Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass,” recalling his reality television era. This isn’t the first instance of Trump mentioning Swift; back in November 2023, he commended the “Anti-Hero” singer to Variety’s editor-in-chief, Ramin Setoodeh.
While Trump admires Swift’s beauty, he also associates her with liberal views. Despite rumors suggesting Swift’s Republican leanings in 2016, she notably endorsed Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives in 2018.
What did Donald Trump say about Taylor Swift in his book?
During his interview with Ramin Setoodeh, Trump expressed his admiration for Taylor Swift, emphasizing her beauty. The politician remarked, “I find her very beautiful—very beautiful! I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump. I hear she’s very talented. I think she’s very beautiful, actually—exceptionally beautiful!”
However, during the 2018 elections, Swift publicly shared her political opinions on Instagram, stating, “In the past, I’ve been hesitant to voice my political opinions publicly, but due to various events in my life and in the world over the past two years, I feel differently about that now.”
Swift further explained that she has always voted based on the candidate’s commitment to protecting human rights. “I have always and will continue to cast my vote based on which candidate will defend and fight for the human rights that I believe all of us deserve in this country,” the pop icon affirmed.
Taylor Swift’s thoughts on politics
In the documentary “Miss Americana,” Swift expressed her political views. Reflecting on the 2016 presidential elections, the Grammy winner revealed, “During the [2016] presidential election, I was in such a terrible place that I didn’t want to get involved.” She emphasized, “These celebrities aren’t like your dad’s celebrities, and these Republicans aren’t like your dad’s Republicans… I want to be on the right side of history.”
In 2020, Swift publicly endorsed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris while criticizing Trump for his handling of the George Floyd case. As for the 2024 elections, the “Blank Space” singer has yet to announce her support.
