Trump’s campaign co-opted the star’s song “Freedom” just days after accusing Harris of “copying” him.

    It’s pretty clear that he has no clue just how much influence they have. I think he’s stuck somewhere in the 1980s and thinks in terms of Madonna and Michael Jackson, everyone else never existed.

      How many people on the planet do you think could meaningfully impact the attention on the Super Bowl?

      Taylor Swift did lol. And not by performing. Literally just because she was dating a player and at the game.

      He knows and that’s why he wants it. He wants to be cool too. (And get those voters, because he thinks it works like that.)

        I suspect that Trump doesn’t really know who she is. Someone fed him some AI garbage and he jumped on it.

          Normally I’d agree with you, but do we really think the guy tweeting about Kristin Stewart and Rob Pattinson’s breakup doesn’t know who Taylor Swift is? Now ask him who Charlie XCX or Chappell Roan are, and he definitely wouldn’t have a clue.
