UPDATE: Dave Portnoy insists Donald Trump is ‘wrong’ about Taylor Swift not being ‘hot’

“Taylor Swift is as hot as she’s ever been”

Donald Trump, Dave Portnoy and Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift’s rise to superstardom has now reached a point where Donald Trump and Dave Portnoy are debating how hot she is.

Portnoy joined Fox Business host Stuart Varney Tuesday morning to discuss former President Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis, celebrity endorsements, horse racing, and Trump’s one-sided feud with Taylor Swift.

Recently, Trump claimed Swift is “no longer hot,” and proudly took credit for what he apparently perceives to be a downfall. With Portnoy having endorsed Trump last fall while also being an unabashed Swiftie, Varney asked whether the Barstool Sports founder was upset by the president’s claim.

“I’m not upset with Trump. Trump’s Trump, so that was not a surprising thing,” Portnoy said. “I mean, he’s wrong. Like, you can’t be more wrong about anything. Taylor Swift is as hot as she’s ever been in the streets. She hasn’t put out new music, but if she said, ‘hey, snap my fingers, I want to sell 500,000 or a million tickets in three seconds and break Live Nation, she’d do it.”

Last September, Swift endorsed Democratic candidate Kamala Harris for president. Trump responded about as maturely as one might expect, by posting “I hate Taylor Swift” on social media.

Trump went on to taunt Swift for getting booed at this year’s Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.

And when the Eagles celebrated their Super Bowl win with a visit to the White House last month, Trump used it as an opportunity to jab Swift again.

And last week, Trump attempted to reignite his one-sided feud with Swift in a social media post. “Has anyone noticed,” he wrote, “that since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?’”

“Listen, Trump goes on a rant, something made him upset, but he couldn’t be more wrong about this if his life depended on it,” Portnoy insisted. “Taylor is the number one musician in the world and there’s nobody particularly close.”

BREAKING: Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Turned the Lights on at the 2025 Kentucky Derby—And the Mysterious Photo Clues That Had Fans Crazy. It wasn’t just their flashy outfits or rare public affection that made their surprise appearance—it was something eagle-eyed fans spotted in the background that’s fueling wild speculation. Does this subtle detail reveal a big secret about their relationship? The internet is dissecting every frame, and the theories just keep getting crazier.

Hold onto your fascinators and tighten those bow ties, because the 2025 Kentucky Derby just went from stylish to scandalously sweet. In an unexpected turn of events that has fans across the globe spiraling into full meltdown mode, pop superstar Taylor Swift and NFL tight end Travis Kelce were spotted arm in arm at Churchill Downs—and they weren’t just watching the races. The pair, known for keeping their high-profile relationship relatively under wraps, made a rare and jaw-dropping public appearance at the legendary horse racing event on Saturday. Dressed to the nines in traditional Derby chic, the couple looked absolutely radiant—smiling, laughing, and turning every camera in their direction. But what really has fans losing their minds isn’t just the fact that they showed up together… it’s what the photos appear to reveal. Yes, the internet is convinced Taylor Swift is sporting a subtle baby bump—AND an engagement ring. Let’s rewind. Kelce, in a custom navy three-piece suit and white cowboy hat, and Swift, glowing in a pale blue floral dress and matching headpiece, arrived via a private entrance shortly before the first race. Despite efforts to keep a low profile, they were quickly spotted by attendees—and within minutes, the world was watching. Photos and videos flooded social media. In several, Travis is seen placing a gentle hand on Taylor’s midsection, a move many fans took as a not-so-subtle gesture. In others, Swift appears to rest her hand affectionately on his chest—and the sparkle on her left ring finger could practically blind a thoroughbred. Naturally, Swifties and NFL fans alike went into full detective mode. “IS THAT A BABY BUMP???” wrote one X (formerly Twitter) user, racking up over 5 million views in under an hour. Another posted a zoomed-in shot of Taylor’s hand with the caption, “THAT’S A ROCK. ENGAGED & EXPECTING? THE ERA TOUR BABY IS REAL!” Of course, the couple has remained famously tight-lipped about their relationship, despite going public in late 2023. Since then, they’ve been spotted at a handful of Chiefs games, a few Eras Tour stops, and even a couple of low-key date nights. But this is the first time they’ve appeared this visibly affectionate—and in such a high-profile setting. Adding fuel to the fire, a source close to the couple (who chose to remain anonymous, of course) told a tabloid: “They’ve been planning this soft launch for months. They knew the Derby would be a moment. They’re not hiding anymore.” Fans at the Derby were quick to share their reactions.“I came here for horses, I left with heart palpitations,” said one woman who managed to snap a blurry selfie with the couple in the background. “Taylor looked so happy. Like, glowing. Literally glowing.” Others pointed out the strategic brilliance of the reveal. “This is so Taylor-coded. She drops Easter eggs in lyrics and now she’s dropping them at sporting events,” joked one fan on TikTok….
