Fox News host Laura Ingraham recently said that she wants international pop star Taylor Swift to consider performing at President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration in January as a way for the country to come together after the divisive 2024 campaign via USA Today.
Swift and Trump have represented political opposites over the last year: President’s campaign used fake AI images of her in social media and the singer urged her legions of supporters to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. “I hate her,” Trump responded on Truth Social after the singer endorsed his Democratic rival.
Appearing on “The Ingraham Angle” on Thursday, the Fox host stated that Swift should call Trump and offer to perform at his swearing-in ceremony. Ingraham said that it would be a “great moment of unity” for the country.
“Come on, Taylor. Are you ready for it?” Ingraham asked, referencing the title of Swift’s song, “…Ready For It?”
“Anything is possible. It is almost Christmas,” Ingraham added. “We have seen a lot of miracles this year.”
Swift recently wrapped up her Eras Tour and turned 35 on Friday, endorsed President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential race. The full program for Trump’s 2024 inauguration is not public yet. At the Republican’s first inauguration in January 2017, featured musical performances included Toby Keith, Lee Greenwood and Jackie Evancho, who sang the national anthem. Trump’s transition team and Swift’s spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment on Ingraham’s suggestion.
