Everyone is talking about it - even the president! Xny / Getty Images At a recent press conference, Donald Trump was (randomly) asked about Taylor and Travis's news by a journalist who told him that the whole "world" was keen to hear his thoughts. Bloomberg / Getty Images For some quick context, Trump has spent ages publicly insulting Taylor. The one-sided feud began last year after she endorsed his opponent, Kamala Harris, in the presidential election - and after she called him out for sharing fake, AI-generated images that suggested she'd endorsed him. Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Images Last September, he posted in all caps, "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT," before releasing a T-shirt modeled after her Eras Tour merch. In February this year, he mocked her after she was booed at the Super Bowl, and a few months later, he shared another unprovoked post that read, "Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer 'HOT?'"A real post from Trump's Truth Social account: "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT" pic.twitter.com/nUJGu4Xavu- philip lewis (@Phil_Lewis_) September 15, 2024 Twitter: @Phil_Lewis_ BuzzFeed TrendingHot TopicThink you're Blondie's biggest fan?

He wrote in part, "Just look at Woke singer Taylor Swift. Ever since I alerted the world as to what she was by saying on TRUTH that I can't stand her (HATE!). She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became NO LONGER HOT. The tide has seriously turned - Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Bloomberg / Getty Images "I think he's a great player. I think he's a great guy," Trump began of Travis, before going on to say of Taylor: "I think she's a terrific person." Kansas City Star / Getty Images "I wish them a lot of luck," he added. Thestewartofny / Getty Images Reacting to Trump's response, one person shared screenshots of several of his past posts aimed at Taylor and sarcastically wrote, "'she's a terrific person' right ...... right ....." Another user said, "The switch up from harassing her at every chance he gets to calling her 'a terrific person' is interesting.""He must have forgotten she was his mortal enemy as of a week ago," someone else wrote. Well then. Let us know what you think in the comments.
