Kellyanne Conway Sings Taylor Swift’s ‘Calm Down,’ Disses Her for ‘Losing Handily’ to Trump

Remarkably, Taylor Swift’s poke at the president on the MTV Video Music Awards show for his lack of support for LGBTQ rights legislation hasn’t yet resulted in a Trump twitterstorm. But Kellyanne Conway went on Fox News Tuesday night to defend the administration’s position against the Equality Act … and to give Swift a sick burn in return by attempting to render one of her songs toxic.

“I actually like the new Taylor Swift song,” Conway told Fox’s Martha MacCallum. “It’s called ‘You Need to Calm Down.’ I can sing it for you.” Rather than do what any reasonable host would, which is tackle the presidential advisor as if to thwart the impact of a live grenade, MacCallum laughed and allowed Conway to break out in song. “If you say it on the street, that’s a knockout / If you put it in a tweet, that’s a cop-out,” she sang, facing the camera. “I love that! I mean, that basically is Washington in a nutshell.”

There is absolutely nothing I trust about Kellyanne Conway.

Link doesn’t go to Variety

The intro to the story with the author’s name said it was “from Variety”.

There is absolutely nothing I trust about Kellyanne Conway.

If she didn't take over for Manafort when she did the election may not have turned out so well.

[Eddie01]

you could say that about anybody

offering context?

Is it her loyalty to the President?

I think she’s loyal to Trump. But, she needs to toss her idiot husband...

[JonPreston]

Sure, anyone who remains married to that POS husband of hers is not to be trusted.

Catholic. Can't do it. Even if she did, he'd still shoot his mouth off. He would still get the coverage. She married him before Trump came along. Much more understandable than Carville/Matalin.

[marron]

I like her. She is a natural warrior.

[Don W]

Just twit for a husband does not make her faithless.

Obviously, her wedding vows mean more to her than you think they should. Why that is I don’t understand, but because she has done a thankless job very well for the last several years makes her OK in my book.

Hmmm ....I trust her when she says she was a Blueberry Pageant Princess and was named the best blueberry packer in New Jersey, and that she looks pretty good in a bathing suit.
