“I was not a Taylor Swift fan,” Trump said in a morning interview withFox & Friendson Wednesday, Sept. 11.“It was just a question of time… But 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.”

The “Cruel Summer” singer, 34, threw her support behind Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov.Tim Walz, onInstagramfollowing the conclusion of thepresidential debate between Harris and Trumpin Philadelphia.

Swift mentioned the fake A.I.-generated images that falsely showed her supporting the former president, who shared them on his Truth Social platform.

“It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation,” Swift added. “It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.”

In the same Fox interview, Trump said he liked Swift’s friend Brittany Mahomes, 29, “much better.”

“She’s a big Trump fan,” said the former president, later adding: “I like Brittany. I think Brittany’s great … She’s a big MAGA fan. That’s the one I like much better than Taylor Swift.”

Brittany’s husband, Patrick, 28, is a teammate of Chiefs tight endTravis Kelce, 34, who is dating Swift.

Multiple outletspreviously reported that Swift and Brittany — who have watched Chiefs games together in the past — were inseparate suitesfor the Chiefs’ home opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 5. It prompted speculation of a rift between the two friends.

Such rumors, however, were dashed when Swift and Brittanyreunited at the U.S. Openin New York City three days later during the men’s single final.

Swift was at the tennis event with Kelce after the two attended a wedding together on Sept. 7. At the Open, the couple caught up with the Mahomeses and at one point, Swift and Brittany shared a hug.

Swift previouslybacked Joe Biden’s presidential bidin 2020, and was expected to express support for Harris at some point before Election Day.

“That was eloquent and it was clear,” Walz added. “And that’s the type of courage we need in America, to stand up.”
