Former FBI Director James Comey released a video Sunday that has sparked widespread reaction across social media, revealing his family’s deep connection to pop superstar Taylor Swift while launching pointed criticism at President Donald Trump.
In the video, Comey disclosed that Swift’s music serves as his family’s soundtrack and provides guidance on confronting adversaries.
He opened his remarks by targeting Trump’s relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, describing it as “a bad dream you can’t wake up from.”
The former law enforcement official revealed intimate details about his family’s devotion to the pop icon, stating he participates in a family “Swiftie” group chat.
Comey admitted to listening to Swift’s music through headphones while performing yard work.
Comey has attended two of Swift’s concerts and has financially assisted family members in purchasing tickets to her performances.
He expressed familiarity with Swift’s entire musical catalog, demonstrating his genuine engagement with her artistry.
The former FBI chief identified his preferred Swift tracks as the extended 10-minute version of “All Too Well” and her collaboration “Exile” featuring Bon Iver.
These selections reveal his appreciation for Swift’s more mature, introspective compositions.
Comey described Swift’s influence on his family’s development over the years.
“Taylor Swift has grown up with my family and provided us a soundtrack, really, as we’ve grown ourselves and learned and adapted and dealt with adversity and celebration,” he stated.
The video continued with Comey explaining how Swift’s career trajectory has consistently provided examples that resonated with children while maintaining relevance for parents.
He praised her ability to maintain these qualities as she transitioned into adult artistry.
Comey connected Swift’s approach to his own philosophy on handling opposition figures.
He explained that Swift’s example helps him resist adversaries without adopting their negative characteristics or behaviors.
The former director acknowledged finding humor in satirical content targeting Trump while expressing concern about potential negative effects.
“But I gotta be honest, it also leaves me with a strange feeling at times, because I don’t want us to become like Trump and his followers,” he continued.
Comey characterized the Republican Party as exhibiting “stunning coarseness” while asserting this represents a minority viewpoint among Americans.
He emphasized that decent, honest people significantly outnumber those with malicious intentions.
He referenced Swift’s political stance regarding Trump, noting her public opposition to his election.
“She’s made clear that she sees Donald Trump for what he is. Last year, she urged Americans not to make the serious mistake of electing him,” Comey stated.
The former FBI leader criticized Trump’s social media behavior toward Swift, contrasting it with the singer’s positive lifestyle choices.
“Of course, we’re now living with the consequences of that mistake. But while our elderly makeup-covered president is posting about whether Taylor Swift is still hot and declaring that he can’t stand her, what’s she doing? Living her best life, producing great music,” he said.
Comey referenced Swift’s advice about treating personal energy “like a luxury item” and connected this philosophy to research demonstrating how rudeness diminishes happiness levels.
He emphasized the importance of preventing negative influences from causing personal transformation.
The video included Comey’s recollection of attending a Swift concert 14 years ago in Hartford, Connecticut.
During that performance, he recalled Swift performing her song addressing critics and bullies directly.
Comey recited lyrics from Swift’s song “Mean,” stating: “I bet you got pushed around. Somebody made you cold. But the cycle ends right now, because you can’t leave me down that road. You’ll be glad I didn’t sing that. That’s right, because down that road of unhappiness, nobody should have that power over us.”
