TAPPER: Welcome back. It is the biggest political/musical rivalry since Hamilton and Burr. Taylor Swift known as Tay Tay and Kanye West also known as Ye began their feud on stage but could one of them end it on the Oval office? That's the subject of this week's "State of the Cartoonion."</s>TAPPER (voice-over): It has been nine years since Ye and Tay Tay first faced off at the VMAs.</s>KANYE WEST, ARTIST: I'll let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.</s>TAPPER: It was an eruption that prompted some harsh presidential criticism.</s>BARACK OBAMA, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person. He's a jackass.</s>TAPPER: And with that path set this week Tay Tay and Ye faced off politically. With the Senate race in her home state of Tennessee Taylor Swift broke her political silence on Instagram. Rallying Democrats to vote for former governor Bredesen right before Bredesen collapsed in the polls. But once again, Swift was quickly upstaged by Kanye who gave a performance of sorts in the Oval office.</s>WEST: It was something about when I put this hat on it made me feel like Superman. That's my favorite super hero.</s>TAPPER: President Trump seemed to be loving that drive and energy and offering harsher words for Taylor Swift than he has have for Saudi Arabia or Putin.</s>TRUMP: Let's say that I like t Taylor's music about 25 percent less now.</s>TAPPER: It does seem possible this could just be setting the stage for a future electoral face off. Candidates you now have five seconds to give your opening message.</s>WEST: I am god.</s>TAYLOR SWIFT, ARTIST (singing): Why can't you see you belong with me. You belong with me.</s>TAPPER: Thanks for spending your Sunday morning with us. "FAREED ZAKARIA GPS" starts right now.
