Sharon Osbourne, 71, takes a swipe at Donald Trump and recreates an iconic X Factor moment as she attends Taylor Swift’s London show
Sharon Osbourne took a swipe at Donald Trump as she attended Taylor Swift’s show in London on Saturday.
The reality TV legend, 71, attended the singer’s third night at Wembley Stadium, and opted for a sweatshirt emblazoned with the words Taylor For President.
On Sunday, Trump raised eyebrows by sharing AI-generated posts on his social media platform Truth Social, suggesting he has gained the support of Taylor and her fans, known as ‘Swifties.’
Trump wrote ‘I accept’ alongside deepfake images showing women wearing shirts emblazoned with ‘Swifties For Trump,’ as well as a poster of the singer dressed like Uncle Sam and urging her fans to vote for the GOP nominee.
Although she has yet to publicly endorse a candidate ahead of this year’s election, a source close to Swift confirmed, unsurprisingly, that she will not be supporting Trump.
‘If she didn’t support him last time, she’s not going to support him now,’ they told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘He’s clearly lost it. In more ways than one.’
It is unclear if Trump’s comment referred to the AI-generated crowd of ‘Swifties’ or the fake endorsement from Swift.
Two of the photos in Trump’s post are reportedly legitimate, Wisconsin Right Now reported.
Jenna Piwowarczyk, a 19-year-old Trump supporter who is also a fan of the singer, did allegedly wear a ‘Swifties for Trump’ t-shirt during a campaign rally in Wisconsin.
However, there does not actually appear to be a huge ‘Swifties for Trump’ following, as depicted in the AI-generated photos, which were clearly labelled ‘satire.’
Trump later doubled down on the claim that he was gaining the support of Swifties, sharing a video of an apparent MAGA fan saying the ‘Swifties were waking up’ after a failed terror plot resulted in the cancellation of the Austrian leg of the Eras Tour. It is unclear if the video is authentic.
Swift has previously criticized the GOP nominee and vowed to ‘vote [him] out’ ahead of the 2020 election after being left ‘completely blindsided’ by his 2016 victory.
Sharon has been vocal in her criticism of the presidential hopeful.
In 2018, Sharon expressed her fears over Trump’s presidency.
She said on Larry King: ‘It’s kind of fearful. I know a lot of my friends are fearful.
‘We kind of wake up every day and go, “What’s gonna happen now?” You don’t feel secure that everything will be smooth and people are in control of what they should be in control of and running it professionally.’
The following year, Sharon and husband Ozzy Osbourne called out Trump for using the musician’s music without permission.
After Trump used Ozzy’s music in one of his videos, Sharon stated: ‘Based on this morning’s unauthorized use of Ozzy Osbourne’s Crazy Train, we are sending notice to the Trump campaign (or any other campaigns) that they are forbidden from using any of Ozzy Osbourne’s music in political ads or in any political campaigns. Ozzy’s music cannot be used for any means without approvals.’
During her stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house in March, the reality queen gave her fellow housemates an insight into Trump as she revealed she worked with him on the Celebrity Apprentice years ago.
After Louis Walsh revealed he was ‘allergic’ to the former US president, Sharon reflected on her time with the businessman as she revealed he will only speak to women if he believes they are pretty.
Would you vote for Taylor Swift
Sharon said that she had worked with him, she said he had always been nice to her, but admitted he will only speak to women if he deems them attractive.
‘He treats women like that’ she said, as she clicked her fingers to indicate how easily he disposes of them.
‘If he thinks you are pretty or attractive for any reason he will talk to you. He will only talk to women if they are pretty’.
Ahead of the US presidential election this year she then added: ‘I just thank god that he is 78 as we won’t have to suffer him long.’
Louis added: ‘That’s a very good point’.
The following month, Sharon took another swipe at Trump as she referenced his commenters about late Senator John McCain and prisoners of war.
McCain was on combat duty in the Vietnam War when he was taken prisoner for more than five years, which prompted Trump to comment: ‘He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.
‘He lost and let us down. I’ve never liked him as much after that. I don’t like losers.’
Addressing the remarks on her podcast, Sharon said: ‘The thing I don’t get is why would you alienate so many people like Trump talking about the military? “People who get caught, they’re the losers,” You’re a loser.’
Her son, Jack Osbourne, pointed out that Trump’s comments were made during a previous election cycle ‘that he won. No one gave a s***.’
Sharon then jumped in: ‘But I can’t believe it. When you’re picking on war heroes and people who are serving right now, it’s like, how dare you do that?’

The British television personality wasn’t only concerned with political matters during Taylor’s Wembley show, however.
While at the gig, one excited fan asked Sharon to recreate one of The X Factor’s most iconic auditions, that of Rachel Lester – a Welsh singer who claimed she was ’10/10′ and ‘better than Madonna’.
But it was Sharon’s look in the funny clip that really grabbed fans’ attention, with many commenting that she looked unrecognisable, before questioning whether she was still using the weight loss drug Ozempic.
The star had previously discussed her use of the drug, after shedding 42lbs, but admitted in March that she’s since struggled to put any weight back on.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans’ posts included: ‘If you didn’t say that was Sharon Osbourne I would not have known that was Sharon Osbourne,’
‘Hang on. Is that Sharon Osborne? Why does her face look like that?’; ‘I was waiting for Sharon in the video to appear,’;
‘I can’t focus on anything other than Sharon’s very gaunt face. Ozempic is killing people’s looks,’; ‘Wth happened to her face?’
In the clip shared on X, Sharon began by asking: ‘Okay what’s your name?’
‘Rachel,’ the fan replied, to which Sharon asked: ‘What do you do for a living?’
‘Nothing I’m lazy at the moment,’ the fan said. ‘Do you ever sing professional?’ Come on, tell us,’ Sharon said.
The fan then delivered the iconic line: ‘Yeah of course I’ve been singing all my life, all round the towns and everything,’ to which Sharon replied: ‘Why don’t you sing for us now?’
The Celebrity Big Brother star, who returned to her native England last year with husband Ozzy after years of living in the US, looked in good spirits as she waited for the Anti-Hero songstress to take to the stage at the final UK dates of her Eras Tour.
Sharon, who admitted recently that she lost ‘too much weight’ through taking Ozempic, sported her signature red hairdo and wore a host of jewellery for the outing as she chatted to a friend who sipped on a glass of wine.
Sharon lost 42 pounds after using GLP-1 or glucagon-like peptide-1 drug Ozempic- but doesn’t take the medication anymore.
Writing for the Daily Mail earlier this year, Sharon admitted her ‘weakness’ is food and therefore in the past she ‘made it my business to lose almost half my body weight.’
The result was that I had flesh hanging everywhere. My breasts were flat and sagging.’
‘I underwent a string of cosmetic procedures beginning with a browlift and facelift. I had liposuction on my neck and had it lifted, too. I had my breasts lifted, my arms lipo-ed and my tummy tucked. I had my bum lifted and implants inserted.’
‘Then I had a facelift three-and-a-half years ago, but the guy messed up. I was left with one eye higher than the other. It took a year to put it all right. I frightened myself with what happened.’
She then admitted that in December 2023 she ‘resorted to injecting myself with Ozempic’ and lost 3stone in weight, but insisted ‘it was too much.’
‘Now, I weigh just over 7st. I need to put on 10lb, but however much I eat, I stay the same weight.’
Ozempic works by suppressing hunger hormones, leaving users feeling fuller for longer, and contrary to Sharon’s experience, studies have show that users are at risk of putting weight back on very quickly.
In January, Sharon revealed that she wanted to ‘put back on another 10lbs’ after her weight loss – where she said she became ‘too gaunt’.
Sharon spoke about her weight loss journey on Loose Women and said she is struggling to put weight on after shedding the pounds using diabetes drug Ozempic.
She explained: ‘Everything on weight with me was like ‘I want it now’. The injections that I was on worked and just seems now I can’t put anything on.
‘I lost over 40lbs, If I could I would put back another 10.
‘I’m just an ordinary person who got lucky and I didn’t take advantage of that. I never want to forget I am blessed and been really lucky in my life.’
