Nets LOVE 'Intelligent' 'Powerful' Taylor Swift 'Calling Out' WH Over 'LGBTQ Rights'

All three networks couldn’t stop gushing over pop star Taylor Swift’s liberal awakening on full display at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards. While accepting an award, the singer called on the White House to respond to a Change.org petition to pass the “equality act” a federal level law banning “discrimination” against transgender and gay people. ABC, NBC and CBS gave Swift the royalty treatment, praising her “powerful” and “intelligent” “transformation” embracing the left.

On Good Morning America, correspondent T.J. Holmes was enthusiastic at how quickly the awards show turned political: “The VMAs started at 8:00 eastern live last night. By 8:03, Taylor Swift had made a political statement and she made it by just flashing two words across the screen [Equality Act].”

ABC then played a video clip of Swift accepting the award on stage, surrounded by drag queens, urging viewers to sign a petition that she claimed warranted a response from the White House. On screen it read, “Taylor Swift’s Transformation: Pop Superstar’s Powerful Speech.”

Thanks for that Red.

Taylor swift is so full of herself. Oh, but “she writes her own songs!” Yeah, really crappy songs 12 yo girls like.

If only the Trump administration would reopen the homosexual marriage case once again, we could get a good test of how conservative the supreme court really is. The states have controlled marriage requirements since the founding of the nation, until Obama. It should be that way again.

Hilarious. Swift couldn’t give two craps about LGBT. She’s playing them for fools so she can get acting gigs.

So sad to see. She tried so long NOT to offend her parents and NOT to alienate half of the country. But in the end she ended up selling her soul to political correctness for the perception of more fame and wealth. These things always end up the same though...get woke...go broke. She’s now loved intensely by a small smattering of liberals who will never buy her records anyways but hated by those a much larger majority who hate that she sold out.

Don’t forget that her position is also a shout out to Broadway that she’s one of them.

This was inevitable when she made Lena Dunham her BFF.

Agreed, except: two sexes, not two genders.

Sex is a biological term; gender is a linguistic term. Gender actually is variable and evolutionary, because it is not tied to Natural Law.

Disgusting. But on the bright side, feminists don’t realize that the artificial conditions brought by their unrighteous clucking and scolding are only temporary. People naturally return to more healthy social paradigms.

Another funny thing... Swift will look like any other loose dog very soon. Watch her age quickly.

I’ve never liked her or her “music”. She’s always been annoying at best.
