California Governor Gavin Newsom clapped back at Donald Trump with a Taylor Swift track, turning online shade into political theatre. After Trump mocked him as “Governor Newscum” on Truth Social, Newsom responded on TikTok using Swift’s “You Need to Calm Down,” pairing the lyrics with screenshots and face-to-face photos with Trump. He dubbed Trump “America’s keyboard warrior,” earning applause from Swifties for his “top tier” comeback. The move blends pop culture with politics just months ahead of the U.S. elections.
