Taylor Swift Surpasses Trump's Podcast Viewership Record: A Look at the Numbers
President Donald Trump has expressed his disapproval of Taylor Swift, but she recently surpassed his podcast viewership record. When Swift appeared on Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast, 1.3 million viewers watched it on YouTube within an hour of its release, nearly double the number of viewers for Trump's appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast in 2024. Despite Trump's podcast having more total views, Swift's episode gained 13 million YouTube views within 24 hours of its release.
Trump has a history of criticizing Swift, particularly after she endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris for president in 2024. He expressed his dislike for Swift on various occasions, including calling her "no longer hot" after declaring his hatred for her. Despite Trump's negative comments, Swift's popularity and viewership continue to grow, surpassing even the former president's podcast numbers.
