I'm sure all of you know by now, whether you wanted to or not, that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got married on July 3. And, of course, Trump had to insert himself into the situation. 😒
On the day before the couple's wedding, the White House decided to partake in all the T-Swift buzz by parodying her iconic Eras Tour poster:

The internet immediately defended Swift:
...And tried to autocorrect the White House:

But, of course, that's not all. Shortly after this sign was displayed at Madison Square Garden, announcing that the couple officially tied the knot, the White House struck again...

If that wasn't enough Taylor talk, Trump directly spoke about Swift to the press yesterday. When discussing the social media app TikTok, Trump took the opportunity to brag about himself and make a jab at Swift.
He stated, "It was announced about two days ago. The new numbers just came out. You know who the number-one person in TikTok is, by far? Trump. Me. I just got — they — I am number one. Like, Taylor Swift was number 11. I'm number one in TikTok by far."

Did he stutter through that claim? Maybe. Did he pronounce TikTok as "Tic Tac"? Yeah. And did he say he was "in" TikTok rather than "on"? Sure. However, if Trump is trying to claim that he is the most popular person on TikTok, his statement is...drumroll please...
FALSE!!! While we don't know exactly what Trump considers being "number one" on TikTok to mean, the average person would most likely think that means he has the most followers, which isn't true. His follower count is currently 16.7 million, which is fewer than Swift's 33.5 million, so how "number one" can he really be?
Here's how people teased him for his...interesting comment:
