In addition to comparing popularity, Trump questioned why Swift was chosen over him as the Time person of the year in 2023, deeming it “obviously” nonsensical. Allies of Trump and his reelection campaign have been alert to the potential of a Swift-Biden endorsement, expressing concerns to Trump about the matter in recent months.
While Swift has not yet shown any indication of her involvement in the 2024 election, her substantial and dedicated following has positioned her as a coveted advocate for the Biden campaign and a potential obstacle for Trump.
Swift’s romantic connection with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and the team’s advancement to the 2024 Super Bowl have only amplified discussions about their significant popularity. Swift’s presence at NFL games in support of her partner has attracted new viewers, elevating the NFL’s viewership, with the Sunday’s AFC championship game breaking records as the most-watched ever on CBS.
