Obsession on Repeat
Swift’s high-profile appearances at Chiefs games throughout the NFL season sparked endless political commentary. Fans questioned why the spotlight was on her rather than the games themselves.
At the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans, where both Trump and Swift attended, Eagles fans were seen booing the singer.
Trump wasted no time jumping on the moment. He reposted a screenshot from the Libs of TikTok account showing crowd reactions to both him and Swift, with the caption: “Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed – The world is healing.”
Shortly afterward, he trolled her again — this time with a doctored image showing Swift holding a flag that read: “Trump won, Democrats cheated!”
Media watchdogs and civil rights attorneys noted that these digitally altered images could fall into murky territory around public misrepresentation, emotional distress, and even cyber harassment litigation, which is an increasingly discussed area within privacy law.
Even months into his second term, Trump was still fuming over her influence. Experts on psychosocial wellness and public stress impact studies have begun analyzing the effects of such persistent public targeting.
