President Trump on Monday revealed he likes Taylor Swift’s music “about 25 percent less” now that she’s come out against Republican Senate candidate Marsha Blackburn in Tennessee.
Trump, speaking to reporters outside the White House, said Blackburn — for whom he campaigned last week in Johnson City — is a “tremendous woman,” despite the pop star’s latest rebuke of her political views.
“I’m sure Taylor Swift has nothing or doesn’t know anything about her,” Trump said of the 28-year-old singer. “Let’s say that I like Taylor’s music about 25 percent less now, OK?”
Taylor Swift — the pop star who notably has strayed from politics — broke that silence on Sunday, writing on Instagram that she’ll be voting for Tennessee Democrats in the midterm elections.
Swift, 28, slammed Republican Senate candidate Marsha Blackburn in an Instagram post.
“As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn,” Swift told her 112 million Instagram followers. “Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me.”
