President Donald Trump couldn’t resist taunting Taylor Swift while hosting the Philadelphia Eagles at the White House.
The NFL team, excluding quarterback Jalen Hurts and several other players, visited 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on Monday to celebrate their Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 9.
“I was there along with Taylor Swift,” Trump noted during his speech.
“How did that work out?” he then asked rhetorically, as the crowd laughed. He repeated, “How did that one work out?”
The 47th US president showed up at the big game alongside his kids Ivanka and Eric Trump.
Swift also attended to support her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
But despite coming in with two consecutive Super Bowl victories, the Chiefs fell short, losing to the Eagles 22-40.
At one point, Swift was shown on the jumbotron at Caesars Superdome, prompting boos from football fans as she issued an intense side-eye in response.
Trump has made no secret of his disdain for the “Bad Blood” singer.
After Swift, 35, endorsed Kamala Harris for president ahead of the 2024 election, he slammed the Grammy winner on his Truth Social platform.
“I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” Trump, 78, wrote via the platform in September 2024.
Just months earlier, in June 2024, Trump had called Swift “beautiful” — but called her politics into question.
“I think she’s beautiful — very beautiful! I find her very beautiful,” he told author Ramin Setoodeh for his book “Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass.”
“I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump,” he continued. “I hear she’s very talented. I think she’s very beautiful, actually — unusually beautiful!”
He also admitted to not knowing her music “well.”
“But she is liberal, or is that just an act?” Trump asked Setoodeh, Variety’s co-editor-in-chief. “She’s legitimately liberal? It’s not an act? It surprises me that a country star can be successful being liberal.”
Swift made her feelings known with her endorsement of Harris, writing in part at the time, “I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”
The “Love Story” songstress pointedly signed the endorsement as a “childless cat lady” — a now-infamous reference to JD Vance’s controversial comments about women without children.
