Taylor Swift has remained notoriously tight-lipped on her political leanings, but her friend and back-up dancer Todrick Hall says that anyone who takes her silence as evidence she voted for Donald Trump are making a "huge assumption."
Swift faced criticism throughout the election season for remaining mum, and not following in the footsteps of her fellow pop stars, who expressed their support for Hillary Clinton and disdain for Trump.
Her sole foray into the world of politics was as an apolitical Instagram post on Election Day telling her followers to "go out and VOTE."
But according to Hall, who has been friends with the "Look What You Made Me Do" singer for years, nothing about Swift leads him to believe that she's set on making America great again.
"Many people have been tweeting me, 'She supports Trump! She probably voted for Trump!' They're making this huge assumption, when Taylor has never to my knowledge come out and said anything about her being pro-Trump," he told Yahoo! "But people would still rather believe that she is the one who is pushing Trump's agenda."

And they will look even more foolish in retrospect.
Honestly, I found them humorous they would even exist.
Taylor is many things, but she is not an Anti-Semite.
Because you have two Jews here on F.R. who are fans of hers.
And God forbid if you think you have the right to keep your voting choices to yourself.
Of course she's not. But that doesn't matter.
TAYLOR SWIFT NEEDS TO TAKE A PUBLIC STAND AGAINST NAZIS!!!
Seriously. That's where we've come to now.
Heaven forbid that anyone would want to Make America Great Again. So, it’s come down to the obvious dem slogan of Let’s Destroy America, because it’s “racist, Sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, you name it.
Yes, in the Orwellian world the Democrat party even silence is a crime.
Every liberal is a violent totalitarian thug.
They must be upset that with all of the millions she takes in that she does not sufficiently donate to liberal organizations/candidates.
Consider it a shakedown (like Al Sharpton used to pull). Write “me” a check and “I’ll” go quiet.
The “other side” buys tickets, videos and CDs too. It is smart to avoid annoying them needlessly.
Expose her! Flog her! Destroy her!
HE sued HER! for some ridiculous millions of dollars. She countersued for one dollar. She won.
This is straight-up McCarthyism.
Articles like this do have an effect, though. Stars read enough publicity telling them they ought to speak out about something and eventually most of them do.
And every day she showed up in that courtroom. She didn't have to. The case was so preposterous, her personal testimony wasn't needed. Her lawyers could've handled it on their own. Yet, she booked a hotel in Denver and went to court each day. And in the end, squashed that drunken, groping DJ like a bug.
Naw. Never work.
> This is straight-up McCarthyism. <
McCarthy was treated unfairly by history, IMO. That aside, you’re right. This is McCarthyism. We should shout that from the rooftops. And it’s affecting everybody now. Entertainers, professors, people who post on YouTube, etc.
But in a way, this is even worse. McCarthy went after Communists, and “former” Communists. He didn’t bother the apolitical.
But for today’s left, being apolitical (or politically neutral) is not enough. You MUST be a leftist.
Sort of like living in the old USSR. It was not enough to have no pictures of the Tsar in your house. You better have a picture of Comrade Stalin up on the wall, or you’re in trouble.
I have a picture with a couple of Broncos cheerleaders. My hands stayed in appropriate places.
I know for a fact that her parents are Republican. Hopefully this apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
