It wasn’t just Truth Social that benefited from the backlash. Trump’s Instagram account, which had been relatively stagnant since his departure from mainstream social media, began gaining followers at an unprecedented rate. It was clear that, once again, Trump had found a way to make headlines and boost his own brand, all while taking down one of the biggest names in music.

As the dust settled, many expected Taylor Swift to issue a response. After all, she’s no stranger to using her platform to address political and social issues. But this time, Swift remained notably silent. There were no tweets, no Instagram posts, not even a cryptic lyric from one of her songs. For a pop star who is as famous for her comebacks as she is for her music, her silence was deafening.

Some speculated that Swift’s team was advising her to lay low, hoping that the frenzy would die down on its own. Others suggested that Swift might be planning a grand comeback—perhaps in the form of a new album or a political statement that would reclaim the narrative.
