Endorsing Kamala Harris Might Have Been the Worst Career Move Taylor Swift Has Ever Made
PJ Media ^ | September 29, 2024 | Rick Moran

Posted on 09/29/2024 2:38:16 PM PDT by Red Badger

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.

She has more money than anyone could ever spend.
I really hope she does fail. It won’t be her business; it’s too big, but maybe something will happen to her personally or she has a health concern.
It’s obvious that she never accepted Christ as her savior, since she openly supports the godless Satanic party.
At this point only a personal tragedy or health issue could force her to repent and believe in the way and true God.

Personally I could never stand more than 10 seconds of one of her songs. Never listened to an entire song of hers.

Someone said today, “They won’t vote because they would have to wait in line and they won’t do that.”

She’s going to be Dixie Chicked.

Nope.

Dixie Chicks were a country act that alienated almost their entire core fanbase.

Swift is a pop act whose biggest fans are young women/girls. Who, if they care about politics at all, vote overwhelmingly Demoocrat anyway. Plus, as far as I've seen, she only endorsed Harris - she didn't say anything horrible about Trump or Trump supporters. This will hurt her on the margins only.

Now it will take one minute to sell out every seat at a concert venue instead of thirty seconds.

Pretty much.

She's a manufactured product like twinkies or mountain dew.

Her “songs” all possess a distinct manufactured tinge.

“Hanna Montana” was a TV show starring Miley Cyrus, who is a 12 on a 1-10 skank scale. Compared to her, Swift is a nun.

It’s just another bad choice by the bad choice woman.

Sam Goldwyn knew that the American people would automatically be turned off by half if an actor endorsed a candidate.

Sam Elliot stepped in it this morning, ten times worse than this.

She’s such a fraud. She’s pretending to be best of friends with player’s wives. She’s whoring around and now their all best of pals. It’s all phony like her.
