Former FBI Director James Comey confesses he's a 'Swiftie' in new anti-Trump video message
Former FBI Director James Comey confessed in a strange video Sunday that Taylor Swift has been his family’s soundtrack — and a source of life advice on handling bullies.
He also took swipes at President Donald Trump while bragging about a family "Swiftie" group chat and talking about how he blasts "Tay Tay" while mowing the lawn.
Comey opened by accusing Trump of humiliating America alongside Vladimir Putin, calling it "a bad dream you can’t wake up from."
Comey said he’s been to two Swift concerts and even helped relatives afford tickets.

"I’m in a family’s Switie group chat. I know all her music and I listen to it in my headphones when I cut the grass," Comey said.
His favorites? The 10-minute "All Too Well" and "Exile" with Bon Iver.
"Taylor Swift has grown up with my family and provided us a soundtrack, really, as we've grown ourselves and learned and adapted and dealt with adversity and celebration," he said, adding that millions of families likely feel the same.
Comey explained that at every stage of Swift’s career, she has shown a way that resonated with kids, which also felt right to him as a parent, and she has continued to do that even as an adult artist.

Comey said Swift’s example helps him resist "bullies" without becoming like them. He contrasted that with satirical posts mocking Trump, which he called funny but also troubling.
"But I gotta be honest, it also leaves me with a strange feeling at times, because I don't want us to become like Trump and his followers," he continued. "There are far more decent, honest, kind people in America than there are mean jerks. And don't get me wrong, we have our jerks, millions of them."
He accused the GOP of "stunning coarseness," while saying it’s a minority view in America.....
