Azealia Banks blasts Donald Trump as 'embarrassing' after Taylor Swift diss
Azealia Banks has defended Taylor Swift after US President Donald Trump hit out at her.
The 33-year-old rapper took to X to share her support for Taylor, just hours after Trump, 78, posted on his Truth Social platform: 'Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer HOT?'
Banks wrote: 'Taylor Swift is really the litmus test to determine whether or not someone is a complete f****** cuck or a wannabe it seems. All the girls who hate on tay are complete f****** wannabes and all the men who hate on her are dumb cucks who feel threatened/rejected by her just happy being a f****** white girl.
'That girl sings her songs, wears her red lipstick and goes home. Lmao she is the least threatening person in the world what is the actual tea with the psychology behind hating on her? Since when was it appropriate for the sitting president to be doing dumb s*** like this? Isn't Trump like 83?
'People really want to BE Taylor swift and would trade their realities out in a heartbeat to do so and that's f****** tragic. Trump is the president of the USA and wants to be a popular blond singer songwriter. This is insaneeeee. When is somebody going to wipe the makeup off his face because the sassy peach is feeling it again. This is embarrassing.'
Back in September 2024, Trump shared AI-generated images of Swift, 35, which suggested she supported his presidential campaign.
Taylor spoke out and endorsed his opponent, former Vice President Kamala Harris, leading Trump to tell 'Fox and Friends': 'I was not a Taylor Swift fan. It was just a question of time. … But she's a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she'll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.'

Trump met with cheers and boos as he attends Les Mis
US President Donald Trump has been greeted with a high-volume mix of boos and cheers as he took his seat for his first production at the Kennedy Center, the performing arts facility he has subjected to a conservative takeover. The mixed reception for Trump and his wife Melania as they arrived in the presidential box before a performance of Les Miserables on Wednesday reflected the heightened emotions that have been unleashed by his overhaul of the cultural centre. Trump has pushed out its former chairman, fired its longtime president and pledged to overhaul an institution that he criticised as too liberal. The centre, a leading US arts facility, had long enjoyed bipartisan support. Ticket sales have fallen since and some shows, including the hit Hamilton, have cancelled their appearances at the 2300-capacity theatre. At Wednesday's performance, several drag queens in full regalia sat in the audience, likely in response to Trump's criticism of the venue for hosting drag shows. One person shouted "Viva Los Angeles" as Trump stepped out of the presidential box at the intermission. Trump has sent military troops to quell protests against his immigration raids in that city. Trump's appearance was meant to boost fundraising for the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and he said donors raised more than $US10 million ($A15 million). "We're going to make it incredible. We have all the funding. We raised a lot tonight, and we'll put in a lot of money to bring it back to the highest level," a tuxedo-clad Trump told reporters after other administration officials arrived on the red carpet. Still, overall year-on-year subscription revenue was down 36 per cent to $US2.8 million as of early June for next season, which begins in the autumn, according to a person briefed on the data. The centre is now under the leadership of Ric Grenell, a close Trump ally and former ambassador to Germany. He has sought to add more conservative-leaning programming, including a show that Grenell has described as a celebration of the birth of Christ. Trump said he particularly enjoyed Les Miserables, a musical about citizens rising up against their government. "I've seen it many times, it's one of my favourites," he said. Along with the first lady, Vice President JD Vance, Attorney-General Pam Bondi and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr also attended.

This elusive fashion designer is finally stepping into the spotlight
Rachel Gilbert doesn't do the Sydney social scene. You won't find her at long lunches or at the opening of a new bar. In fact, she's barely been a presence at Australian Fashion Week, showing just once in the 20-year history of her eponymous brand. She rarely gives interviews and has a private Instagram account. Yet the Sydney-based designer is one of the country's most successful fashion exports. This year alone, the brand has grown year-on-year sales more than 600 per cent. Celebrity fans include Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez and Gilbert's friend Julie Bishop, who famously wore a blue sequinned dress by her on budget night in 2019.

Bruce Springsteen snubbed autograph hunters for 'chasing him all around town'
Bruce Springsteen snubbed autograph hunters in Liverpool after they "chased" him through the city. The Dancing In The Dark rock legend - who recently played the second of two gigs at the north-west of England city's Anfield stadium - appeared angry as he was seen admonishing some people in the rain and refusing to sign any autographs. In a video which has been shared on X, Bruce said: "You guys chased me all around town! I'm signing nothing!" As he walks past them, someone out of view can be heard gasping in shock. Another person behind the camera responded: "Bruce, we love ya! We didn't, we've been here waiting for ya!" Bruce played his second gig in Liverpool on Saturday (07.06.25), and he'll be moving onto Berlin, Germany for a show at the Olympiastadion tomorrow (11.06.25) as his Land of Hope and Dreams tour keeps rolling. Last month, the 75-year-old rock star played three packed concerts at Manchester's Co-op Live arena. At one point during the first of the shows, he described Donald Trump's administration in the US as "corrupt, incompetent and treasonous". He told the audience: "In my home, the America I love, the America I've written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration. "Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring!' The rocker – who has been a staunch critic of Trump – made another attack on the White House chief and his political ideology as he introduced City of Ruin. He said: "There's some very weird, strange and dangerous s*** going on out there right now. In America they are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent. This is happening now. "In America the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world's poorest children to sickness and death. This is happening now. "In my country they're taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers. They're rolling back historic civil rights legislation that has led to a more just and plural society." Trump responded with a lengthy rant via the social media platform Truth Social. Describing The Boss as "dumb as a rock", he wrote: "This dried out 'prune' of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country, that's just 'standard fare'. Then we'll all see how it goes for him! He added: 'Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he's not a talented guy - Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK.'
