President Trump has responded to Taylor Swift’s recent political post in support of the Democratic party and it’s safe to say he’s not her biggest fan rn. 

The 28-year-old has previously come in for criticism for refusing to share her political beliefs but recently decided to announce her support for Phil Bredesen for the Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives as she prepares to vote in Tennessee’s mid-term elections.

When Trump was asked about her political Instagram post, he took the opportunity to defend Republican candidate, Marsha Blackburn: “Marsha Blackburn is doing a very good job in Tennessee. She’s leading now, substantially, as she should. She’s a tremendous woman.

“I am sure Taylor Swift does not know anything about her and let’s say that I like Taylor’s music 25% less now,” he added.

Voter registration reportedly shot up after @taylorswift13 revealed her voting intentions.@realDonaldTrump hit back saying he likes her music “25% less” after she backed the Democrat candidate in Tennessee.

Taylor decided to break political silence in a passionate post: “I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of colour is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.

“I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin colour, gender or who they love,” she said. “As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn.”

I’m writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which I’ll be voting in the state of Tennessee. In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now. I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent. I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love. Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives. Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway. So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting! 🗳😃🌈
