Donald Trump on Monday said that he likes Taylor Swift’s music “about 25 percent less” after she revealed her support for the Democratic Senate candidate in Tennessee, and against the Republican Marsha Blackburn, Fox News informed.
Trump said that Blackburn is a tremendous woman, despite the pop star’s latest rebuke of her political views.
“I’m sure Taylor Swift has nothing or doesn’t know anything about her,” Trump said of the 28-year-old singer. “Let’s say that I like Taylor’s music about 25 percent less now, OK?”
Swift came out of her political silence for which she was frequently criticized and slammed Blackburn in an Instagram post to her 112 million followers.
“As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn,” Swift wrote. “Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me.”
In her Instagram post, Swift also mentioned that the congresswoman “voted against equal pay for women.”
“She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry,” she also added.
“These are not MY Tennessee values,” the “Fearless” singer wrote online, before concluding she’ll be voting for Democrat Phil Bredesen for the Senate, and also for Rep. Jim Cooper, a Democrat who’s running for re-election.
