FBI Director James Comey confessed on Sunday that he has a new coping mechanism for the “bad blood” he still harbors against the president: In a bizarre video posted to his Substack, the 6-foot-8 former top cop announced he’s been a full-blown Swiftie, leaning on the pop icon’s lyrics to guide him through life in President Donald Trump’s America.
“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?” Comey mused, sounding more like a giddy fanboy than a former federal official. “Living her best life, producing great music and as she urged all of us to do during the podcast, not giving the jerks power over her mind.”
This is not parody. This is former FBI director James Comey. After using his power for years to entrap Trump, Flynn and others, he tries now to come across as a normal guy, a Taylor Swift fan, and a champion of civility and decorum.

Comey was referencing Swift’s appearance on the New Heights podcast with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his brother, Jason, where she advised listeners to guard their “energy” like it’s expensive.
The ousted FBI chief apparently took the advice to heart.
Trump recently slammed the singer as “no longer hot” while heaping praise on Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney. Last year, he blasted on Truth Social: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,” boasting that he torpedoed her popularity. Swift, for her part, endorsed Joe Biden in 2020 and backed Kamala Harris during the 2024 campaign.
Comey, however, insists he and Swift “go way back.”
“I went to my first concert of hers 15 years ago,” he bragged. “And I have helped financially support the attendance of a lot of family members and others. I’m in a family Swiftie group chat. I know all her music.” His all-time favorites? “All Too Well” and “Exile.”
That’s right — the man once in charge of the nation’s top law enforcement agency claims he is sorting out his feelings about Trump by blasting T-Swift’s breakup ballads.
