Truth Social, the social media platform owned by Donald Trump, abruptly went offline Friday afternoon—just minutes after the president unleashed scathing attacks against Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift, sparking speculation about the cause of the outage.
Tensions between Trump and prominent entertainers have long simmered, with both Springsteen and Swift publicly opposing his presidency in past and present campaigns. In 2024, both artists supported Kamala Harris, and Springsteen recently reignited the feud with pointed criticism of Trump's administration during a concert in Manchester.
