That's what makes this so disappointing. Swift churned out a tepid endorsement on Instagram, pissed off millions of her fans (who like me understood that she was probably a liberal but appreciated that she was staying above the fray), she turned off her comments section, and quietly slunk away.
When you can't even watch a football game without being subjected to politics (and only one side of it, naturally) Taylor Swift was one of the last "politics-free" institutions in America that both sides could enjoy and escape from all the rancor and discourse.
Not any more. Sad.

Drew, you summarized my thoughts and feelings perfectly.
Taylor made this endorsement AFTER her U.S. tour was done. Knowing this would truly piss off millions of her American Fans.
Taylor Swift was perfectly a-political and for all ages.
No More.
