MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk targeted pop superstar Taylor Swift in an astonishing rant just weeks before his death on Wednesday.
The 31-year-old right-wing podcaster provided unsolicited guidance to the singer’s fiancé, Travis Kelce, and suggested that the Shake It Off sensation could “go from a cat lady to a JD Vance supporter” following her engagement to the NFL star.
Kirk, a conservative activist and close ally of Donald Trump, was gunned down at a Utah Valley University event on Wednesday.
Footage shared on social media from Utah Valley University captured Kirk speaking through a handheld microphone while seated beneath a white tent displaying the slogans ‘The American Comeback’ and ‘Prove Me Wrong’, before a lone gunshot rang out.
Shocked onlookers were heard gasping and screaming before crowds began fleeing the scene. His death was confirmed by President Trump, who described the killing as “a dark moment” for the country.
“This is something that I hope will make Taylor Swift more conservative,” Kirk told his audience on Real America’s Voice when discussing the couple’s happy news.
“Engage in reality more… Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You’re not in charge.”
He continued to suggest that Taylor’s potential transformation from “a cat lady to a JD Vance supporter” after marrying the Kansas City Chiefs star would be cause for celebration.
“She should have more children than she has houses,” he joked.
Taylor infuriated MAGA followers when she backed Trump’s opponent in the previous US election. In September 2024, Taylor gave her support to US presidential hopeful Kamala Harris, describing the then-vice president as a “steady-handed, gifted leader”, concluding the post with “Childless Cat Lady”.
Before Taylor’s endorsement, Trump’s deputy JD Vance, now vice president, branded Democratic politicians a “bunch of childless cat ladies with miserable lives”. The remark triggered outrage, and celebrities like Jennifer Aniston slammed the politician’s harsh attack.
Vance later offered an apology for his remarks. “Obviously, it was a sarcastic comment,” Vance explained to conservative media figure Megyn Kelly.
“People are focusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance of what I actually said. The substance of what I said, Megyn – I’m sorry, it’s true.”
