The GOP presidential candidate tried to shoehorn a Swift lyric into an awkward political joke on X, formerly Twitter, after he was spotted at a Dallas Cowboys game.

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie took a jab at his GOP primary rival, former Republican President Donald Trump, by quoting Taylor Swift's lyrics.

Spoiler alert: he failed miserably.


Christie–who is trailing way behind at 2% according to The Economist/YouGov poll–once served as head of Trump's 2016 transition planning team but eventually became a vocal critic of the former President.

On Wednesday, Christie responded to a photo of himself seated next to Dallas Cowboys owner and Republican donor Jerry Jones that was shared on X (formerly Twitter).

The photo was jokingly captioned with:

"Ooooh who on the Cowboys is Chris Christie dating?!"

The initial tweet was a nod to rumors that Swift might be dating Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce after she was spotted at a game with Kelce's mother.

Christie retweeted the photo and invoked the lyrics to Taylor Swift's songs, "You Belong With Me" and "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” as an attempt to skewer Trump–who remains the GOP frontrunner at 51% despite his four criminal indictments.

The former Trump ally also made a reference to the second GOP debate held Wednesday at the Ronald Reagan presidential library in Simi Valley, California, where Trump was again notably absent after skipping the first debate in Wisconsin last month.

Christie wrote:

"I was just a guy in the bleachers on Sunday... but after tonight, Trump will know we are never ever getting back together."

And the internet cringed.










Swifties campaigned to never ever be tied to ignorant politicians.

At Wednesday's debate, Christie mocked Trump's absence by calling him "Donald Duck" because he kept "ducking these things" and that he was a no-show because he's "afraid."

An advisor to Christie's campaign confirmed with Politico that the former New Jersey Governor plans to stay in the race until the New Hampshire primary, which would most likely take place in January 2024.

Trump Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

MAGA Is Having A 'DEI' Meltdown Over A Mixed Race Character In 'Toy Story 5'—And Fans Are Having None Of It

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Pete Buttigieg Opens Up About 'Darkest Hours' After Being Separated From His Kids Due To False Abuse Allegations

Former Democratic President Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, posted on Friday about the ordeal he, his husband Chasten Glezman Buttigieg, and their 4-year-old twins endured after someone targeted them with false abuse accusations.

Buttigieg described the attack as similar to a swatting, a dangerous form of criminal harassment/domestic terrorism in which a perpetrator makes a false report of a dangerous emergency to law enforcement in the hopes that SWAT or a similar heavily armed tactical unit will attack the home. Multiple people have died as a direct result of swatting incidents.
