"Behind the scenes, Trump has reacted to the possibility of Biden and Swift teaming up against him this year not with alarm, but with an instant projection of ego. In recent weeks, the former president has told people in his orbit that no amount of A-list celebrity endorsements will save Biden. Trump has also privately claimed that he is ‘more popular’ than Swift is and that he has more committed fans than she does.”

“Last month, the source close to Trump adds, the ex-president commented to some confidants that it “obviously” made no sense that he was not named Time magazine’s 2023 Person of the Year — an honor that went to none other than Swift in December.”

    I have some coworkers going to Japan soon for meetings. Apparently they’re competing with a Taylor Swift concert for finding a decently priced hotel.

    Somehow I do not think this would be an issue if it was Trump.

      I did that in Detroit last year. Lucked out by getting an airbnb. Hotels were so crazy expensive. Streets basically shut down, full of people before and after the concert
