Stephen King, Flavor Flav, more 'love' Taylor Swift after Trump 'hate' comment
View Date:2024-12-23 19:15:35
Though former President Donald Trump may "hate" Taylor Swift, there are plenty of celebrities that are publicly expressing their love for the pop star.
Trump declared "I hate Taylor Swift" on his social media website Truth Social to his 7.71 million followers Sunday. But now, celebs ranging from Stephen King to Flavor Flav and Mark Hamill are flooding the zone with Swift love on social media.
Trump's remark came days after the singer endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in an Instagram post to her 284 million followers immediately following Tuesday's presidential debate. Swift said Harris is a "steady-handed" and "gifted leader," adding how Americans "can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos."
Horror author King wrote on X: "I love Taylor Swift. Her music makes me happy. End of story."
"Star Wars" actor Hamill, Mia Farrow and "West Wing" star Bradley Whitford all shared the hashtag "#ILoveTaylorSwift."

Flavor Flav wrote, "I LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT,!!"
In an Instagram post shared after the debate, Swift wrote in a caption of a photo of her with her cat that she "will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz."
"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," she wrote.
Her endorsement addressed subjects from IVF to LGBTQ+ rights. Within an hour of posting, more than 3 million people had liked the post, ranging from Chrissy Teigen and Selena Gomez to Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Olympic soccer midfielder Rose Lavelle.
"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," Swift wrote.
"Recently I was made aware that AI of 'me' falsely endorsing Donald Trump's presidential run was posted to his site," Swift wrote, referencing Trump taking to his social media platform Truth Social and posting several suspected artificial intelligence-generated images alluding to Swift and Swifties' support for his campaign, despite the singer vocalizing disdain for the Republican nominee in the past.
"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 simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth," she said.
On Sunday, Trump responded with his short proclamation in all caps. The former president has returned to lashing out at major celebrities he disagrees, which was something he did often during his time in office. Swift has not posted or mentioned Trump, except to point out in her endorsement that there was AI showing her "falsely endorsing Donald Trump ... and the dangers of spreading misinformation."
