Just When We Thought Bill Clinton Was Making Sense, He Came Out As A Swiftie

Bill Clinton seemed to be on the mend after making some bizarre public comments, but just as we thought he had bounced back to normal he had a weird fanboy moment and came out as a Swiftie.

The former U.S. President talked about how much he enjoyed attending a concert as part of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Toronto, during an interview Monday on “Live with Kelly and Mark.” We could have done without the knowledge that he has now officially come out as a Swiftie, and frankly he should have cooled off before making that declaration, at least for his own ego. The 78-year-old is clearly smitten by Swift now, telling Ripa how impressed he was by Swift’s long performance. His mouth gaped open awkwardly as he collected his thoughts and found the right words to compliment the 34-year-old star.

Clinton described attending with Hillary, their daughter, Chelsea Clinton, Chelsea’s daughter, Charlotte and other companions. The show then played video of them watching the event.

“I get it now,” he said, as he described the large crowd of fans that adore Swift.

“I mean, I understand why she has such an impact on people and why a lot of these young girls are so — captivated,” he said.

“She’s not like a lot of people who do concerts,” Clinton said.

“She did three hours-plus straight. I mean, straight through! She just kept on singing the songs and kept on doing it, which I think is a very respectful thing to do for the audience,” he told Ripa.

Clinton said he did not use his clout to get backstage to meet the megastar, but it was obvious that he was impressed by her and has now become a full-fledged Swiftie.

The fanboy moment comes after a slew of bizarre comments and confessions from Clinton, including his odd admission that he found Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake “physically attractive” while attending a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris in Arizona in October.

Let’s not forget his statement that “politics is the only business in which you can prove your authenticity by not knowing anything,” during an interview with MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart earlier in November. Our favorite odd statement from Clinton in recent weeks was the moment he remembered Ethel Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy’s late widow, at her funeral by describing her as “the cat’s meow” and telling mourners that she “would flirt” with him “in the most innocent ways.” (RELATED: ‘Your Mother Was The Cat’s Meow’: Bill Clinton Goes Feral Mode At Ethel Kennedy’s Funeral)

We’re not sure what strange comment he’ll come up with next, but we’re here for it.
