Sydney Sweeney doesn’t associate herself with the nickname “MAGA Barbie.”
The actress spoke candidly about all the controversy surrounding her since her American Eagle Outfitters “Great Jeans” ad dropped last July, with some accusing it of being “Nazi propaganda” that praised her blond hair and blue eyes.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan published Thursday, Sweeney was asked about being labeled “MAGA Barbie” by some on the internet — especially after it was revealed she’s been registered as a Republican since June 2024 — even though she hasn’t directly spoken about her political views.
“I’ve never been here to talk about politics,” she told the magazine. “I’ve always been here to make art, so this is just not a conversation I want to be at the forefront of.”
“And I think because of that, people want to take it even further and use me as their own pawn,” she continued. “But it’s somebody else assigning something to me, and I can’t control that.”
Sweeney insisted she wasn’t a “hateful” person and said there was “no winning” when it comes to addressing politically charged things about herself.
“If I say, ‘That’s not true,’ they’ll come at me like, ‘You’re just saying that to look better,'” she explained.

Hmmmmmmmmm....... Let’s see
“MAGA Barbie” kinda has a ring to it.
Certainly better than the Newsom “Sparkle Beach Ken”
she’s the embodiment of the accessible girl next door. Plus she seems like a genuinely decent person who likes guns and wrenching on classic cars. What’s not to like?
You shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition, Sydney.
She gets hotter to me everyday.
Not as attractive as my bride. But she’s hot.
FRegards!
Thank You!
Hubba hubba!
That’s not really true.
She’s going to need back surgery.

No, it is not grammatically wrong to end a sentence with a preposition; this rule is outdated and many grammar experts now accept it as acceptable in English. In fact, sometimes it is the most natural way to phrase a sentence.
Ebonics.
“I’ve always been here to make art, so this is just not a conversation I want to be at the forefront of, asshole.
is she behind you as you type?
Feminists hate Barbie.
Ha ha, yeah, I saw that clip. Funny.
Ok, make her sentence grammatically correct.
Not a bad comeback for Sydney Sweeney.
