Embattled former GOP New York Representative George Santos was dragged for taking a swipe at global superstar Taylor Swift with a joke about her possibly endorsing Democratic President Joe Biden.
Swift, who is currently on the international leg of her record-smashing Eras Tour, has not yet officially announced her pick for a 2024 presidential candidate, though she did favorably endorse Democratic President Joe Biden in 2020.
However, on Super Tuesday, Swift encouraged 282 million of her Instagram followers to make their voices heard at the polls come November, saying:
"I wanted to remind you guys to vote the people who most represent YOU into power."
On Saturday morning, Santos interpreted Swift's politicking as a Biden endorsement and wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
“I see @taylorswift13 endorsing @JoeBiden for president."
He then made a cringey joke referencing the singer's heartbreak songs—songs that resonate with millions of fans.
"I mean I see how this makes sense since 95% of her songs are about choosing the wrong guy," he said, adding:
"I guess we can all expect a Taylor Swift revenge song on Biden in 2025...”
People thought Santos' "choosing the wrong guy" remark was rich considering his political shortcomings that led to his ouster from Congress after facing 23 criminal charges that included theft, fraud, and money laundering.

@MrSantosNY @taylorswift13 @JoeBiden @MrSantosNY do you really need to be picking fights with @TaylorSwift13? You were ousted from Congress, one of only a select few in history. Among that list are Confederates who betrayed the country during the Civil War. She is a good for our country, you're not.— (@)
@MrSantosNY @taylorswift13 @JoeBiden Girl, if you spent half as much time fixing yourself as you do crying out for attention on here, you might find yourself with some credibility and a tribe to be a part of. The gays don\u2019t want you, the GOP doesn\u2019t want you, and the people of New York don\u2019t want you.— (@)
Nice try, George, but thanks for playing.
