aylor Swift fans have a succinctly brutal message for Donald Trump following his controversial comments about the singer: STAY AWAY FROM HER.
The phrase, all-caps and all, trended on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Monday, June 10, soon after the former president’s remarks about Swift’s “beautiful” appearance went viral.
“I think she’s beautiful — very beautiful! I find her very beautiful,” the politician — who is now a convicted felon after being found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in his “hush money” trial — Trump told Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh, who has written a new book, Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass, about the former Apprentice host.
As for Trump’s thoughts on Swift’s political views, “I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump,” he surmised, before once again focusing on her appearance.
“I hear she’s very talented. I think she’s very beautiful, actually — unusually beautiful!” he declared.
Swifties, of course, wasted no time in hitting back at Trump via social media — and they all had the exact same warning.
“STAY AWAY FROM HER,” countless fans tweeted on Monday, with many using the viral Demi Lovato meme — “GET A JOB, STAY AWAY FROM HER,” as the “Cool for the Summer” artist once commented on Instagram about an unrelated situation — to further drive the point home.
Others had similar, all-caps reactions.
“KEEP HER NAME OUT YOUR MOUTH,” one X user wrote.
“GO TO JAIL,” another tweeted.
Others made the point that he could be trying to get the “Swiftie vote” by praising her.
Swift, for her part, decried Trump in her 2020 Miss Americana documentary when candidly speaking out about politics for the first time.
When her dad, Scott Swift, and her team brought up the fact that a headline could read, “Taylor Swift Comes Out Against Trump” — potentially losing “half” her fanbase because of it and endangering her safety — Taylor hit back with a vengeance.
“I don’t care if they write that,” she said emphatically. “I’m sad that I didn’t two years ago, but I can’t change that. I’m saying right now, that this is something I know is right … I need to be on the right side of history.”
