Trump: “The reason Taylor Swift is making so much money is because of her”
““I signed and took charge of the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other music artists. Joe Biden has done nothing for Taylor and never will. There is no way she would support crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt president in the history of our country, and there is no way she would be disloyal to the man who made her so much money.””
That’s former President Donald Trump, who focused on superstar Taylor Swift hours before Super Bowl LVIII.
Trump took to his preferred social media platform, Truth Social, on Sunday afternoon and wrote that there was “no way I would support crooked Joe Biden” instead of being “loyal” to Trump. “Who made that person so much money?”
For what it’s worth, Swift made quite a bit of money before Trump entered the White House. In 2016, she was named one of Forbes’ highest-earning celebrities. The outlet said she earned $170 million that year alone. She is now worth several times that number.

For re-election. That theory was shot down by two Republican lawmakers on Sunday.
“Taylor Swift is one of America’s great success stories,” former candidate Chris Christie said on “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “We should be celebrating her, not having these crazy conspiracy theories about her. “But this is what Donald Trump brought about.”
Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio explained why he was rooting for the San Francisco 49ers’ victory, saying, “I hope we can dispel these conspiracy theories about Taylor Swift.”
