One day after Donald Trump accused Taylor Swift of being ā€œdisloyalā€, Barbra Streisand came to the singerā€™s defence.

Oh, and the entertainment legend also suggested that the former president ā€œhas really flipped his lid nowā€.

On Sunday, Trump posted a gripe on his Truth Social platform about Swift amid very unconfirmed rumors that the arena-filling pop star would officially endorse President Joe Bidenā€™s reelection.

In the process, Trump accused Swift of being ā€œdisloyalā€ for not supporting him after he signed the bipartisan Music Modernisation Act in 2018, which updated music copyright issues to address changes in technology, including the rise of streaming services.

ā€œJoe Biden didnā€™t do anything for Taylor, and never will,ā€ Trump said in the post, adding that thereā€™s ā€œno way she could endorse Crooked Joe Bidenā€ and ā€œbe disloyal to the man who made her so much moneyā€.

On the positive side, Trump said he did like Swiftā€™s boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, ā€œeven though he may be a Liberal, and probably canā€™t stand me!ā€

The self-pitying tweet went viral during Sundayā€™s Super Bowl, which the Chiefs won, but Streisand decided to weigh in on Monday:

ā€œTrump is telling Taylor Swift that sheā€™ll be disloyal if she supports Biden! Can you imagine? This is what a dictator is like. Heā€™s really flipped his lid now.ā€

Trump is telling Taylor Swift that sheā€™ll be disloyal if she supports Biden! Can you imagine? This is what a dictator is like. Heā€™s really flipped his lid now.

Swift hadnā€™t commented on Streisandā€™s post as of Monday afternoon, but it did get support from plenty of others on social media.

Taylor Swift doesnā€™t need to publicly endorse Biden. She has made her opinion of tRUMP very clear. He is, in retrospect obviously intimidated by her and her immense following. She, on the other hand, isnā€™t intimidated by him in the slightest.

Trump is jealous that Taylor gets an average of 73,000 a night at a concert and Trumpty can only get 5,000 at a pep rally!
