All she did was encourage young people to register and vote, she didn’t tell them how to vote ,JUST VOTE.
and the right had a total meltdown bad mouthing her and such.
saying she should just stick to her music and leave politics alone.
The right never told Kid Rock, Ted Nugent , or K west to just stick to your music and leave politics alone ,I wonder why?

Because [they’re insane, and] they know that most young people, and Swift fans, are not fans of Trump or his Republican boot-lickers.
I guess the MAGAs are just really big Niners fans xD
Because they hate when celebrities talk about politics.
unless the celebrities are conservative, of course. Taylor Swift being against the Orangutan? OUTRAGE. Ted Nugent sucking ol’ orange’s dick? HOW BRAVE!
She endorsed Biden in 2020.
They want her dead before she endorses Biden for 2024, They include TRUMP’ass, they are calling for a Holy War against Swift.
When his “flying monkeys” kill her; he’ll claim immunity, for him and his assassins !
Most young people support Biden, so of course her enlisting them to vote is an evil thing according to them. Believe me, if young people were in support of Trump, they would probably worship her.
In all honesty, I don’t know quite where this is coming from, but it sure is fascinating to behold. It isn’t just some “terminally online” thing that only fringe groups are sharing, it’s being peddled by establishment conservative media. I’ve seen it compared to “Nipplegate” in 2004: another Super Bowl controversy in an election year that distracted from something going on in the Middle East (in that case, the Iraq War). Though that hardly benefits either candidate in this case. Taylor Swift has never been some outspoken progressive icon, her endorsement of Biden notwithstanding. So it’s funny that now this “culture war” is being drummed up by the pundits, and Taylor Swift is the “new thing” Trump supporters have to hate for some reason. Either that or they’re just upset that a romance between a football player and the nation’s most popular white woman can’t be theirs to take advantage of since she endorsed Biden once and he appeared in a commercial for a COVID vaccine…
Fox is horrible. They really have outdone themselves. It is laughable.
Why is Fox freaking out? Because young people are more likely to vote for the Democrats, and from what I hear Taylor supported Biden in 2020 (which I didn’t even know at the time).
Young people are notorious for not showing up to vote, but the real problem for Fox is if they are thinking long term plans, their viewership will go down over time if young people are liberal. I actually think they get threatened and pressured by the billionaire Dominionists also, but there goes my conspiracy theories again.
A lot of Nashville singers are Democrats. More than people might think. Now you have Black country singers, gay country singers, still plenty of female country singers, imagine that. Previously they hid their LGBT or ERA support, etc etc to not alienate their fan base, but a lot of them are coming out now.
Meanwhile, the funny irony of the whole thing is that the whole Taylor Swift thing is bringing more viewers to the NFL which means more money, more money, more money. I am betting the Super Bowl will have more viewers than ever, partly due to Taylor Swift. They say that this is an opportunity for girls to learn about football and more girls are watching football because of the Taylor Swift thing. The Commissioner of the NFL or someone high up was on the news saying she’s smart, she’s pretty, they’re not against her at all. They know what she’s doing for the sport, is what he meant.
I gave this a GQ because @SQUEEKY2 makes a good point. Why the freak out? I think the right wingers just need something to get huffy about. Last year it was the Bud Light controversy.
To the OP, because they’re pathetic losers.
I saw a cute meme yesterday.
“Joe DiMaggio married Marilyn Monroe.It didn’t hurt the Yankees, it didn’t hurt baseball, and no one thought it was a conspiracy.”
Taylor not endorsing Joe is NOT the problem. The demographics of her fans are notorious for voting left. The right is running low on ways to keep fear in the hearts of their base, so they are grasping for straws!!! Old Sleepy Joe may have dementia but he is smart enough to yank their chain when necessary & he apparently tugged it pretty good this time!!!
As they say, there is no such thing as bad publicity. Potential beneficiaries are Fox, Swift, the NFL and Biden.
I just saw a meme on facebook that Taylor Swift had rich parents who paid for lessons and gave her a huge financial advantage.
I’m guessing that’s to counter people who say Trump had a rich father who funded him? I never jumped on that bandwagon of Trump’s wealth doesn’t count because his dad was rich.
Both are ridiculous criticisms to me. Of course most parents help their kids.
They also feel some kind of betrayal.
They used to lust over her for being this pure white woman doing country music, and now that she revealed herself to be against them, she has become a slut to them.
There’s a lot to hate about the institution of Taylor Swift, but I feel this hate directed at the person of Taylor Swift is basically any blind pursuit of a popular story that isn’t “we are simping for a pathetic, criminal, loser, user, abuser, nepobaby, incompetant, failure, and we have so little self-respect that we want him to be President”
Only shitting on Taylor Swift was a bankable enough play to push that truth out of people’s minds.
I just saw a funny meme where they had a skeleton/mummy type thing laying in the fetal position with a MAGA hat on, and the next frame is a young guy asking “what happened to him.” The third frame is a guy in a gown (god?) saying “Taylor Swift was on TV for 24 seconds of a 3 and a half hour football game.” hahahaha
The late night hosts are having a ball with it (Fallon, Colbert, Kimmel, etc.). Lots of fun fodder for them re: Trav and Tay Tay lol.
Do people actually not know that Republicans know their way of life is fading away and have to cheat to prevent people from voting?
This has been happening since the countries inception.
Republicans need old, rich and poor whites to vote, everyone else is literally against them.
The MAGA’s heads are going to explode for sure because Tay Tay is going to be at the Grammys on Sunday, February 4th and then at the Super Bowl one week later. They’re going to be in their cry closets in the fetal position.
@LadyMarissa no, Joe Biden does not have dementia, and everybody that claims he does has never dealt with dementia on a personal level. I cared for my mom for 3 years as her dementia worsened and I assure you that he is not showing any of those signs. It makes me kind of mad when people say that because a lot of times it’s based on his not being the most smooth speaker, but he does have a stutter. Also, the man is insanely busy and I can’t imagine how tired I would be at my age if I had his schedule, so probably some of that comes out too. But at least he knows how to pronounce words correctly.
@Smashley I actually am not a fan of Taylor Swift at all! I never listened to her music but I started disliking her back when she treated Tom Hiddleston poorly when they were dating. So I’m in this quandary where I love she’s getting young people to register to vote, and because I also support President Biden, I can’t deny the fact that she does. But I still don’t listen to her music or care about her music career.
@LifeQuestioner – she’s a celebrity, not a real person, so it’s your right to give zero fucks at all. The question I think was less about her, and more about why certain elements are fixating on her.
Here is the latest conspiracy from our friendly frightwingers Taylor is only with him to get at his $70,000 playoff bonus,where do they come up with these?
@SQUEEKY2 I saw something online about people thinking she is with him for his money, meanshile, she’s a billionaire hahahaha.
Omigod, can you imagine how many heads would explode if she were dating a black football player? ;-)
I hope she does endorse Biden, and the fright wing lose their minds, BU T she has still told no one how to vote or who to vote for, they should back off but they won’t and it’s going to bite them in the butt bad and it sure will be fun to watch.
I know and I hope she does it again in 2024 ,if for nothing else than to watch the fright wing explode
@jca2 according to google Taylor is worth $1.1 billion.
So to say she is with her boyfriend for his money is frightwing stupidity.
Not all Republicans hate or even care. She can endorse Biden and it will make zero difference in the outcome, imo.
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA !
The trump lovers (Neo-Nazis) are falling all over themselves, she has death threats from the Fright-Wingers.
Not all GOP love trump like you do !
@KNOWITALL You are right it shouldn’t make a difference, but then why is the Right having such a melt down over it?
It’s fun to watch them have such an issue, saying she should just stick to her music, to saying she is just after her boyfriends money,can you explain why they are having such an issue, other celebrities endorse Trump and the Left didn’t go into meltdown mode over it, I mean they go as far as saying swift is being weaponized against the right, come on.
80 % of the followers don’t have clue . . . they just want get the Hitler wannabe in the White House ! !
@SQUEEKY2 I see the media articles but haven’t actually heard any regular folks upset about her at all. She’s been a Dem and likely will stay that way, which is her right. Not newsworthy or upsetting to me in the slightest.
@KNOWITALL On Facebook whenever there’s an article about her (from a news site), people go nuts about how evil she is. I don’t know why she’s demonized by some.
I saw somewhere that she got 35,000 people to register to vote last time she mentioned it. That’s not a bad thing.
@jca2 Not at all! I live in Missouri so the only hate I see online is that she distracts Kelce from football. Since they made it to the Superbowl, it’s just nonsense.
@KNOWITALL
”..she distracts Kelce from football.”
I’m gonna start a rumor that she secretly plays safety for the 49ers! ;-0
I think it because she is almost a rich as Trump, before all of his defamation penalties, after she might be richer.
From an outsider looking in this is absolutely fun to watch the Frightwing lose their freaking minds over this, who cares if she is dating an NFL star, who cares if she is a democrat ,and all she has done so far is encourage people to register and vote, she hasn’t said who to vote , but the frightwingers have lost their minds are they that scared of new voters?
@jca2 – yeah, I just don’t believe it, period. That figure is a lie, and Forbes isn’t credible anymore anyway.
One of the things the orangutan is on trial for is fraudulently overvalueing his properties.
His “net-worth” is a sham.
@Smashley It’s ok that you don’t believe it. Frankly, I was surprised too. I think like what @ragingloli and @Tropical_Willie said, and what I mentioned, t’s not taking into account all that he owes for legal fees and paying off people he committed crimes against. Taylor owes none of that. She’s just working and doing her thing, and making money, which is probably part of what is making the right wingers pissed. She’s a beautiful woman who needs no help from anybody and is pretty much scandal-free.
