    The irony is that Trump forced Swift to speak up after the fake AI endorsement. Swift would have remained publicly neutral.

    While I tend to think Taylor Swift could best serve the world by simply sticking to flying her private jet down to the local 7-11 to get a carton of milk and a pint of ice cream while keeping her mouth shut, she has the right to say she will vote for Harris. And I fully support her right to make that choice and statement.

    But I also firmly believe that celebrities should not use their notoriety or fame to push agendas. There are far too many easily swayed people out there who will follow the lead of famous people who espouse an idea that is dumber than cow shit simply because hey are famous - See Andrew Tate or a number of disgraced BBC reporters.

      …taylor swift’s public statement was a well-considered cogent refutation of false endorsements posted by the trump campaign, one which pointedly resonates your position and likely merits substantially more respect than you realise…

    I view both of them an same. Both are over hyped and overexposed whether it be a positive or negative aspect by the media.

      I don’t think you quite understand how popular she is. The magazines aren’t putting her on their covers because they’re trying to create hype for her to make her popular. They put her on the cover because they’ll sell a lot more magazines due to her already insane levels of popularity.

      This isn’t hype, this is basic supply and demand, and the demand for Taylor Swift is massive. She is the most popular person in the world right now, and it isn’t even close.

    I still think it’s funny that this is being treated as a full-blown endorsement. She said she is voting for Harris, then encouraged people to be politically informed and to vote…

    Oh…maybe Republicans don’t want people to be politically informed or to vote…

      How is it not a full blown endorsement? She has publicly stated that she is voting for her, and gave a host of reasons why. Quite literally and explicitly an endorsement. What more needs to be done for it to be a full endorsement? Does she need to say “don’t think and vote like I say”? Because that’s what it sounds like you are saying that by telling people to get informed, that makes this less of an endorsement.

        Anyone who makes Americans actually think about the elections and the choices they have and who makes them vote is basically putting out an endorsement for Harris.

    Anyone wanna tell him that the only reason she endorsed anyone in the first place is because Trump couldn’t keep his big mouth shut? Had he not made a bunch of posts implying that Swift endorsed him, she probably would have stayed out of it.

    “Big Mad”? are they trying to dumb it down for the trump crowd or just the rolling stone readers in general?
