Taylor Swift has become the latest celebrity for Donald Trump to have a tantrum about, and Stephen Colbert isn't having any of it.

During Monday's Late Show, the host brought up a recent Truth Social post in which the President of the United States wrote derogatory comments about the pop star.

"First of all, sir, keep my best friend Taylor Swift's name out of your filthy nugget hole. Second, it's possible people are talking about her a little less these days because her 149-day Eras Tour ended six months ago," says Colbert in the clip above, before launching into his trademark Trump impression. "Have you noticed how she hasn't gone to Kansas City Chiefs games since February? Am I the only one? Also, Taylor hasn't gotten a single Christmas present all spring. Santa hates you, Tay-Tay."
