Megyn Kelly Praises Donald Trump for His 'Smart' Decision to Publicly 'Attack' Taylor Swift
Sept. 27 2024, Published 11:28 a.m. ET
Megyn Kelly stands by Donald Trump slamming Taylor Swift after the pop star endorsed Kamala Harris for president ahead of the 2024 election.
One fan wrote into her podcast, "The Megyn Kelly Show," stating that Trump, 78, appeared "childish and petty" for posting in all caps to Truth Social, "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT."
However, Kelly thought it was a good move on Trump's part. “You could argue it was actually smart of Trump to attack her,” Kelly, 53, shot back. “Just telegraph to the MAGA faithful — or adjacent — who hadn’t heard about the endorsement that Taylor sucks. We don’t like Taylor.”
Trump melted down after the "Cruel Summer" songstress, who previously endorsed Joe Biden, threw her support behind Harris, 59.
"Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country. Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter," the Grammy winner wrote via Instagram alongside a photo of her holding her cats.

"The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth. I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris 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. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades. I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice," she declared.
After the news spread, Kelly took to her podcast on September 11 to berate the singer and Travis Kelce, who has been dating the blonde babe since summer of 2023.

“This pair, Taylor and her boyfriend Travis Kelce, are the epitomes of elite snobs,” Kelly stated. “They both have gazillions of dollars. She doesn’t care what happens to these kids, just like he doesn’t give a s--- what happens to all the young men who take the Pfizer booster he’s been pushing on them.”
