'Flipped his lid': Barbra Streisand rips Trump over Taylor Swift disloyalty remark
Actress and singer Barbra Streisand took to the social media platform "X" on Monday to slam former President Donald Trump for his latest attack on singing sensation Taylor Swift.
"Trump is telling Taylor Swift that she’ll be disloyal if she supports Biden!" wrote Streisand. "Can you imagine? This is what a dictator is like. He’s really flipped his lid now."
Streisand is referring to a post Trump made on his Truth Social site just hours before Swift attended the Super Bowl to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

"I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other Musical Artists. Joe Biden didn’t do anything for Taylor, and never will," wrote Trump. "There’s no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money. Besides that, I like her boyfriend, Travis, even though he may be a Liberal, and probably can’t stand me!"
Swift's first album dropped ten years before Trump was elected, and it became the longest-charting album of the 2000s on the Billboard 200.
In fact, President Biden has done something for Swifties. After the 2022 disaster that saw venue and ticket processing giant Live Nation left Swift's fans stranded during her Eras tour, his Justice Department launched an investigation into the company's anticompetitive practices.
Swift, whose latest tours transformed her into one of the most successful and popular performers in the United States over the last year, endorsed Biden in the 2020 presidential election. She has not made any political endorsement so far in the 2024 race; however, she has been active in encouraging people to register to vote.
This has led to panic and conspiracy theories among MAGA supporters, as they fear the consequences on youth turnout if she were to repeat her previous endorsement for Democrats.
