US President Donald Trump has taken aim at Taylor Swift regarding her appearance at the Super Bowl this year.
It's fair to say that Trump and Swift have never been each other's greatest fans.
In the past, Swift publicly endorsed Republican candidate Kamala Harris during the US election race last year on her social media.
At the time, she wrote on Instagram: “I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”

Meanwhile, Trump has that he 'was not a Taylor Swift fan,' adding in response: "It was just a question of time... She’s a very liberal person, she seems to always endorse a Democrat and she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.”
Following her endorsement of Harris, the businessman also took to Truth Social to declare: "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!"
Trump has also commented on Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce, telling the Daily Caller in 2023: “I wish the best for both of them. I hope they enjoy their life, maybe together, maybe not — most likely not.”
And it seems the president has spoken out once again on Swift, this time on her appearance at the Super Bowl earlier this year, when Kelce's team, the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Philadelphia Eagles.
Trump was hosting the Eagles at the White House this week when he spoke about his attendance at the games.
“I was there along with Taylor Swift,” Trump said. “How did that work out?” he laughed, adding: “How did that one work out?”
Fans will remember that shortly after Swift took her seat at the game, cameras cut to show the singer on the big screen, at which point a chorus of boos could be heard from the crowd.
When Trump was spotted, however, there seemed to be rapturous cheering.
The President later responded by sharing a social media post that said: "Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed. The world is healing!"
Posting on Truth Social, he also shared two clips of the contrasting crowd reactions - something that many others had also picked up on.
NFL fans have previously expressed their frustration at Swift attending Chiefs games, claiming the attention she inevitably gets often takes away from the sport itself.
But many people reckon that, on this occasion, the adverse reaction may have been down to something else entirely.
Sharing their theory, one tweeted: "Everyone right now 'the crowd boos Taylor Swift!!?' Guys.. the crowd is 80% eagles fans. Of course they booed Taylor.
"Don’t worry, our girl is loved deeply, and she knows it."
