With Donald Trump’s victory in the election, the aftermath has turned into a moment of reflection—and unexpected calls for unity. Laura Ingraham took the opportunity to weigh in during a recent segment on The Ingraham Angle, where she discussed Trump’s recent honor as TIME’s Person of the Year.
“Who else could have gotten Person of the Year this year? You can’t give it to Taylor Swift again!” Ingraham quipped, referencing Swift’s previous TIME win.
Ingraham then pivoted to the topic of unity, offering a surprising suggestion that had viewers stunned.
“Call Trump and offer to perform at the inauguration,” Ingraham advised Swift. “It would be smart for Taylor Swift and another great moment of unity for the country.” She added playfully, “Come on, Taylor, are you ready for it?”
Ingraham’s proposal wasn’t merely a jab at the pop star’s political alignment. Her call for Swift to perform at Trump’s inauguration was framed as a symbolic act—one that could help heal political divides in an increasingly fractured America.
While Ingraham herself seemed skeptical that Swift would take her advice, she reminded viewers of the improbable events that have already defined the year. She alluded to Trump’s near-death experience earlier in the campaign trail, where an assassin’s bullet came within a quarter of an inch of killing him.
“Absolutely anything is possible. It is almost Christmas. We have seen a lot of miracles this year,” Ingraham remarked. “He barely misses getting killed by an assassin’s bullet, and he goes to win the White House?”
Ingraham painted Trump’s victory as both miraculous and reflective of the nation’s will to overcome its challenges under Joe Biden’s leadership.
“And we survived as well, as a country, at least so far, living under a long-gone Biden,” she said. “And now America has a chance with its best fighter back in the ring.”
Ingraham’s comments, as always, carried a mix of biting humor and political sharpness. But her call for Swift to consider performing at Trump’s inauguration struck a chord, with some seeing it as a tongue-in-cheek remark while others viewed it as a challenge to one of the world’s biggest stars.
Swift’s involvement in politics has long been a point of contention. For years, conservatives criticized her silence on political matters, only for Democrats to celebrate her outspoken support in recent elections. Yet as this year’s endorsement showed, celebrity influence isn’t always a winning formula at the ballot box.
What are the best concealed carry holsters for ultimate security?
Laura Ingraham’s advice has now set the stage for a larger conversation: Can Swift rise above the political fray and extend an olive branch? While the pop star remains an icon of cultural influence, Ingraham’s suggestion tests whether her power could also bridge America’s deep divisions.
Ingraham concluded with optimism, underscoring her belief that the impossible has already happened—and could happen again. Swift performing for Trump might sound like fantasy to some, but in 2024, stranger things have come to pass.
“Come on, Taylor,” Ingraham teased. “Are you ready for it?”
For now, all eyes remain on Swift. Whether she heeds Ingraham’s advice or chooses to remain firmly planted in her political corner, one thing is clear: her influence—and the conversations it sparks—aren’t fading anytime soon.
