James Comey Calls Himself a 'Swiftie,' Says Her Music Helps Him Cope With Trump

  • Former FBI Director James Comey posted a five-minute video on August 17, 2025, expressing admiration for Taylor Swift and mixing political commentary.
  • Comey made this video amid ongoing tensions with President Trump, whom he was fired by in 2017 and has frequently criticized since.
  • In the video, Comey highlighted Swift's anti-bullying message, describing her as an inspirational public figure who helped his family cope with adversity.
  • Comey referenced a line from Taylor Swift's 2010 song "Mean," encouraging people to break free from the negative influence of bullies rather than adopting their behavior.
  • The video sparked ridicule from conservatives and MAGA figures but suggested Democrats might learn from Swift's approach to political division and criticism.
