Taylor Swift Breaks Political Silence, Endorses TN Democrats
Variety ^ | 10-7-18 | Nyren

Posted on 10/07/2018 5:52:13 PM PDT by wardaddy

Taylor Swift has broken her long-held public political silence in an Instagram post encouraging her followers to vote in the November midterm elections and slamming Republican Tennessee representative Marsha Blackburn.

“In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now,” Swift began the post, which was accompanied by a moody, black-and-white photo of the superstar.

“I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country,” she wrote. “I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.”

“I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love,” the post continues.

Never heard her stuff. Tried a track. Made about 25 seconds. Her music sucks worse than a vacuum pump. Ditto her politics.

“Watch her numbers drop. Get woke, go broke. “

She’s worth two or three hundred million. Don’t think her lifestyle would change much.

I thought she lived in New York.

Swift invests in property and owns homes in New York City, Tennessee, California, and Rhode Island.

Her pre sold day of sale - sales were way down compared to previous tours. She has made her hundred million and now can just screw her fans who thought she was above it all. Rot in hell by the way how was John Mayer?

The article link unnecessarily takes you through Google, not a nice place to be. Avoid Google and use this link.

That's because she went to airline pricing for this tour. If you sell out your concerts in a few hours, you priced your tickets too low.

Amazing in took until 2018 for concert promoters to figure this out. Swift changed the way tickets will be priced from here on out. Prices will now fluctuate so that every concert ticket is sold up until the last minute for the highest price it could get and every show will sell out.

She talks a lot about GBLTQXYZ alphabet soup. Given the number of “I hate my old boyfriend” songs she’s famous for, my money would be on her deciding she’s a lesbian.

A lot of actresses and singers have had abortions, or at least want them legal just in case.

Celebrities have personal physicians. They would never have trouble getting an abortion whether or not they remain legal. They never have in the past.

Taylor is the biggest loser here, in 2 ways....

Marsha is going to win the senate seat, easily.

Taylor is going to lose a lot of republican/conservative fans.

But, I foresaw the direction she was taking a few years ago, when she turned from country to pop. Stopped being a fan right then.

Very nice. About 65% cosmetic surgery but still beautiful woman. Idiot but I don’t want to talk with her.

Cute has nothing to do with it. She is an MK Ultra satanic slave who sold her soul to the devil. She is talented enough that she could have made her own way. Unfortunately she sold herself out. Now there is only one way out.
