Kamala Harris Campaign Name-Checks 28 Taylor Swift Titles or Lyrics in Statement Following Trump’s Anti-Taylor Tirade

variety.com:

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The Kamala Harris/Tim Walz campaign took advantage of Donald Trump‘s blunt “I hate Taylor Swift!” social media statement by releasing a rather longer Swift-related statement of its own — one in which they name-check 28 Swift titles or lyrics.

The release that was issued by the Democratic candidates’ campaign Sunday morning was titled “Trump’s Bad Week (Taylor’s Version).” It begins, “We’re pretty sure it’s Safe (& Sound) to say Donald Trump’s week has him Down Bad.

Mr. Not-at-all-Fine [a permutation of the title of the Vault track ‘Mr. Perfectly Fine’] has spent this week working through his feelings, whining about his Champagne Problems…” It continues in that vein as it goes on to include more than two dozen references that will be instantly recognizable to the singer’s fans.

The statement does not outrightly call out the statement that Trump made on his Truth Social account Sunday morning — which read simply “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” The sheer amount of song references in the Harris/Walz litany indicates a level of research that would indicate the statement was prepared in advance.
