Taylor Swift v Donald Trump: the enemies compared in charts
President Trump has billed himself as a peacemaker, but there is one war between entrenched armies that he is determined to wage — his feud with Taylor Swift. This month Trump declared, in block capitals, that Swift was 'no longer hot'. The pop superstar did not respond directly, but a rebuke of sorts came two weeks later as she announced her new album, The Life of a Showgirl. Swift's appearance on the New Heights podcast alongside her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, to promote the album beat her rival's viewership record: 1.3 million watched the opening 60 minutes, against 800,000 who tuned in for the first hour of Trump's appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience before last year's election. Kelce and Swift on the New Heights podcast BACKGRID Trump's conversation with Joe Rogan covered UFOs, murder plots and claims of electoral fraud JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE Trump and Swift both have a claim to being defining figures of 21st-century America. How else do they match up head to head? Swift has built a vast business empire from her wildly popular music. Thanks to the value of her back catalogue and record-breaking Eras tour, Forbes estimates she is worth $1.6 billion. Trump, however, has real estate all over the world, as well as stocks and cryptocurrency holdings. Taken together, he is worth about $5.1 billion. Trump's use of social media has fuelled his political rise and he revels in upending the news agenda with a single post. Yet even in this domain, Swift comes out on top for sheer numbers. Across all platforms — Instagram, Facebook, X, TikTok, YouTube and Trump's own Truth Social — Swift has about 747 million followers. Trump has 229 million. When it comes to 'likes' on Instagram, Swift wins comprehensively. She averages 6.6 million per post, while Trump's account draws 195,000. Swift has beaten Trump in Google search interest only 17 times in the past decade. For much of that time the president has been far ahead, largely thanks to his never being out of the news. Occasions when Swift has been more searched include November 2021, when she released the 'Taylor's Version' of her Red album. Trump generally garners more interest on Wikipedia, too. Trump flies on Air Force One for official business but also has 'Trump Force One', a custom Boeing 747. Swift has a Dassault Falcon 7X. This is how they measure up: Swift could splash $250 million on a 747 if she wished, though given controversy about her carbon footprint as a result of private-jet usage, she is probably happy to concede this one to Trump.

Jake Paul breaks silence on controversial Gervonta Davis fight
The YouTuber-turned-boxer's second fight in 2025 has been confirmed and social media sensation was quick to have his say online following the announcement Jake Paul has made his feelings clear after his showdown with lightweight champion Gervonta Davis was announced. The pair are expected to go head-to-head on November 15 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The news was posted on the official Netflix Turkiye X account before it was quickly taken down. Ring Magazine reporter Mike Coppinger later confirmed the news. In a post uploaded to X - formerly known as Twitter - he wrote: "Jake Paul will face Gervonta Davis on Nov. 15 at Atlanta's State Farm Arena in an exhibition on Netflix, sources confirm to @ringmagazine. Talks for Paul to face Anthony Joshua collapsed over network issues. Paul's last fight took place at 200 pounds while Davis is a champion at 135." The news quickly sent boxing fans into frenzy. And now, Paul has had his say. "Gervonta who has been disrespecting my name for too long," he wrote. "His nickname might be Tank, but I'm an FPV drone and I'm about to disable tiny boy. Yes, he's one of the top pound-for-pound boxers in the world, but my motto is anyone, anytime, anyplace, against all odds. And I like my odds. First, I am going to kill David, then I will go on to slaughter Goliath." Paul's last fight took place back in June when he took on former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Despite failing to get the knock, the YouTuber-turned-boxer scored an impressive win on points despite a late flurry from the Mexican. The 28-year-old's return came seven months after beating Mike Tyson. After a very stop-start 2025, the 'Problem Child' is hoping to stay active in the ring. It seemed likely that Anthony Joshua and Paul were set to fight next year. The American has continuously called for a clash with 'AJ.' Earlier this month, Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn revealed there was a "very real" chance of the fight happening. As well as that, Paul's business partner Nakisa Bidarian confirmed that a fight looked set to take place in early 2026. "I think we're looking at it happening at the start of 2026. It's public that AJ was taking a little time away, I think he had a little surgery. So once he's ready, and once Jake is ready, we're going to squarely focus on that," he said. "It's a fight that Jake wants to do, and that's a discussion we've had at length, and he feels very confident about where he is in his career and his chances of upsetting Anthony Joshua." However, a fight between the pair fell through. Paul's opponent, Davis, was expected to rematch Lamont Roach after their controversial draw earlier this year, but the two teams have now seemingly moved on. Roach even took a swipe at his rival after posting a couple of duck emojis online after Tank's clash with the 'Problem Child' was made official. The social media sensation revealed back in May, Paul claimed that he was close to securing a fight with Davis at 195lbs before negotiations fell through. Speaking on the Ariel Helwani Show, Paul remarked: "That was on the one yard as well, but he has to rematch Lamont Roach. "He wants to get that back. Then we will be back in discussions with Mr. Gervonta. But this is the nature of boxing, you have massive fights on the one-yard line and then they fall through." While Davis is a whopping five stone lighter than his foe, Paul revealed in May that it would be sanctioned as an exhibition bout. Paul competes at cruiserweight (200lbs) - despite his heavyweight clash with Tyson - and he even offered to slim down to 195lbs to take on Davis - who is naturally a super lightweight (140lbs). The 28-year-old stated that the fight would be contested over 10 three-minute rounds with no restrictions on the rules. "I never really thought Tank was that good, it just took the right fighter to pick him apart to be honest," Paul added. "Someone who had high activity and wasn't afraid of his power. So, I always saw so many holes in his game, to me it wasn't that surprising that someone finally gave him some good work."
