For some, unearthing old Donald Trump tweets, quotes, and sound bites have become a national pastime. But a video from 2014 is now raising a question: Is Donald Trump a Taylor Swift fan? The answer might be yes.
Swift’s megahit album 1989 had been released two months earlier and was unavoidable on the radio. At the time, Trump had not yet announced his candidacy for president. But he had previously praised Swift on two occasions — via Twitter, of course.
@taylorswift13 Thanks for the beautiful picture— you are fantastic!

Glad to hear that @taylorswift13 will be co-hosting the Grammy nominations special on 12.5. Taylor is terrific!

It’s unclear what picture Trump is referring to. But one thing is clear: This isn’t a reciprocated friendship. Swift has never replied to, or mentioned, Trump on Twitter.
