Donald Trump has surpassed Taylor Swift in followers on X.com, formerly known as Twitter, achieving a surprising edge over the pop star who supported Kamala Harris in the 2024 United States Presidential Election.
President-elect now boasts 94,754,047 followers, slightly more than Swift’s 94,731,484, a margin of 22,563. This narrow lead may seem minor, but it symbolizes a significant triumph in political rivalry.

Trump’s return to Twitter was facilitated by Elon Musk on November 19, 2022, after a public poll Musk initiated. Although his account was reinstated, Trump was initially slow to re-engage with the platform. He had been banned following his tweets during the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots, which were deemed by the pre-Musk Twitter management to glorify violence and potentially incite further unrest, especially in light of his refusal to accept the 2020 election results and his absence at President Joe Biden’s inauguration.
