Former GOP Representative Liz Cheney expertly trolled ex-Republican President Donald Trump with a video of megastar Taylor Swift performing to sold-out crowds in London.
Cheney, a vocal critic of Trump, thanked Swift for "giving us a million reasons to smile" as the singer continued dazzling UK fans on her latest stop as part of the historic Eras Tour.
The clip Cheney shared was of a special onstage cameo by Swift's beau, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who participated in a bit during a recent London performance leading into the hit song, "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart."
Cheney's positive note for Swift was followed by a swipe at Trump, who often exaggerates his popularity by falsely indicating the huge turnout at events, starting with his 2016 presidential inauguration and at various MAGA rallies since.
Cheney mocked Trump's delusions of grandeur by comparing his popularity to that of Swift's, writing:
“PS- @realDonaldTrump this is what a sold out crowd actually looks like.”
Cheney's post went viral.
YouTuber Harry Sisson wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
"DAMN! Liz Cheney just DESTROYED Donald Trump."
"This is so good. MAGA is seething!
Many others joined him in relishing the epic shade thrown at Trump.
One user summed things up perfectly.
Cheney has previously called Swift a "national treasure" when coming to her defense amidst the conservative meltdown that sparked conspiracy theories when it was made official that the singer was romantically linked to Kelce.
Trump has brought up Swift on numerous occasions, including in February when he wrote on his Truth Social platform that "There's no way" Swift could endorse "Crooked Joe Biden" since he "didn't do anything for Taylor, and never will."
He also praised Swift strictly for her appearance in a book he was interviewed for, calling her "very beautiful" but "liberal," according to Variety co-editor-in-chief, Ramin Setoodeh.
Swift endorsed Joe Biden in October, 2020 and has yet to endorse in this year's presidential race.
