Liz Cheney references Taylor Swift song in response to Trump posting he hates her
Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) took a dig at former President Trump, calling him "the smallest man who ever lived," in reference to a Taylor Swift song after he lashed out at the global superstar.
Trump wrote Sunday "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" on Truth Social, days after the "Love Story" singer endorsed political rival Vice President Harris in the 2024 race.
Cheney, a longtime critic of Trump, reposted a screenshot of the former president's remarks on the social platform X and wrote, "Says the smallest man who ever lived."
This is likely a nod to Swift's track "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived," which is featured on her latest studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department."
Swift, 34, formally backed Harris moments after Tuesday night’s debate between the vice president and Trump. The megastar said she supports Harris because “she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.”
“I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos,” Swift wrote to her more than 280 million Instagram followers. Harris’s campaign quickly seized on the support, using the celebrity endorsement in their fundraising emails.
Swift signed her message, “Childless Cat Lady,” a jab at GOP vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance’s (R-Ohio) past comments attacking Harris and other prominent Democrats.
Trump initially appeared to shrug off the endorsement, stating last week he "was not a Taylor Swift fan" and that it "was a matter of time" before she endorsed a Democrat. He also suggested she could “pay a price for it in the marketplace.”
Like Swift, Cheney has also thrown her support behind Harris, citing the "danger" she said Trump poses. Her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, also endorsed Harris, stating Americans "have a duty" to defend the Constitution, regardless of political party.
