Taylor Swift has been at the top of the pop music charts for over 15 years. That's an eternity in show business.
It's no accident. Swift's rise to superstardom was as carefully planned as a military campaign. Her studio recordings, her songwriting, her tours, her public appearances, and her advocacy have all been carefully structured to give her maximum exposure with minimum risk.
Until she endorsed Kamala Harris for president.
Swift transcended pop music to become an American icon. Her Harris endorsement has now squandered that precious admiration and goodwill and, for the first time in her hugely successful career, she has stumbled.
It's not a big stumble, to be sure. But the Harris endorsement has opened the door to criticism and in show business, where everyone is waiting to pounce on any error you make and tear you down, it was a strategic mistake.
"Who's afraid of little old me? Republicans," Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates, the Democratic pollster who conducted this survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies, said of Swift. "Her personal ratings have dropped from +2 to -35 among Republicans."
"A good lesson that it's better to be a tortured poet than a tortured figure in the political arena," Horwitt continued.

Hopefully all the swifties parents who are conservative STOP paying for overly expensive tickets to hear trash sing about bad choices!
Taylor Swift has entered the fat Elvis phase of her career. In a few years, she’ll be wandering the streets like Delta Dawn looking for a dark haired man.
So? This is Like all of her life decisions,
I was just doing some wish-fulfilment.
She should double down, remove all doubt.
I’d rather see her pay 100 💯 million a year.
May she crash and burn.
Taylor Swift, too.
She used the guys she dated to make songs hating on guys. Shes made her career on misandry and airing her dirty laundry to music, (also one sided only getting her side of the story).
Who ?
“Republicans buy sneakers too.”
-Michael Jordan
Young girls learning about the political ugly in life. Young boys had to confront this decades ago, and still do.
“shut up and sing”
I’ve heard of her a lot in the news, but I’m not familiar with any of her songs (if you see any of my music posts, it’s obvious why).
She will go back to being hated by more people now. She was mocked a lot until she opened her big ugly mouth as a Trump hater, then her popularity grew.
Paula Abdul was LEAGUES above her (Swift) crap.
This time around there's just something so uncool about endorsing Harris, especially when you have Taylor's friends like Brittany Mahomes who aren't afraid to click "like" on Trump's tweets and singer Lana Del Ray marrying a Trump-supporting Louisiana swamp boat captain.
Swift made a billion-dollar mistake.
Oh well, she has the comfort of knowing she "did the right thing." /s
I read that Nike debuted Air Jordans in 1985 and they remain the company's top selling sneaker.
So yeah, just STFU over political matters and let your customers keep you rich.
I don't think so. Her fans are not deep thinkers. She is turning off people who have no interest in her to begin with.
I don't see this as hurting her career in the least. That's just wishful thinking
Drag Queen says what?
Not-so-Swift. Now Kelce has to unpussywhip himself.
