The far-left Netflix is promoting its new Taylor Swift documentary, “Miss Americana.” The release of the highly anticipated film, that features Swift explaining how she made the decision to come out against President Trump is perfectly timed to coincide with Trump’s reelection campaign. Swift made the decision to come out of the political closet in 2018 when she attacked conservative Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn in her home state of Tennessee. Swift didn’t have quite as much sway in the election as she had hoped. Republican Marsha Blackburn won her US Senate seat handily.
After years of palling around with brain-dead Hollywood celebrities and starving models, Swift is now convinced that with her “moral compass” firmly in place, she’s ready to give it another try—this time, her target will be President Trump.
With statements like
“I need to be on the right side of history—and “It feels f*******” awesome!”
and “I feel really good about not being muzzled anymore,” Netflix’s new “Miss Americana” trailer gives the impression that Taylor Swift has been living in communist China for the last 9 or so years, and is just now able to make her oh, so important political views known.
Variety interviewed Swift about her upcoming documentary- In the fall of 2018, Swift finally comes out of the closet politically to intervene on behalf of Democrats in a midterm election in her home state of Tennessee. As the Washington Post put it, this announcement “fell like a hammer across the Trump-worshipping subforums of the far-right Internet, where people had convinced themselves… that the world-famous pop star was a secret MAGA fan.” Donald Trump goes on camera to smirk that he now likes Swift’s music a little less. The singer is successful in enlisting tens of thousands of young people to register to vote, but her senatorial candidate of choice, Democrat Phil Bredesen, loses to Republican Marsha Blackburn, whom she’d called out as a flagrant enemy of feminism and gay rights.
“Definitely, that was a bigger disappointment for me,” Swift says, pitting the midterm snub against the Grammy snub. “I think what’s going on out in the world is bigger than who gets a prize at the party.”
It was not always thus for Swift — as the detractors who dragged her for staying quiet during the last presidential election eagerly pointed out. If you had to pick the most embarrassing or regrettable moment in “Miss Americana,” it might be the TV clip from “The Late Show With David Letterman” in which the host brings up politics and gets Swift to essentially advocate the “Shut up and sing” mantra. As the studio audience roars approval of her vow to stay apolitical, Letterman gives her what now looks like history’s most dated fist bump.
Maybe the most transfixing scene in “Miss Americana” is one where Swift argues with her father and other members of her team about the statement she’s about to release coming out against Blackburn and — it’s clear from her references to White House opposition to the Equality Act — Donald Trump too.
“For 12 years, we’ve not got involved in politics or religion,” an unnamed associate says to Swift, suggesting that going down the road of standing against a president as well as Republican gubernatorial and Senate candidates could have the effect of halving her audience on tour. Her father chimes in: “I’ve read the entire [statement] and … right now, I’m terrified. I’m the guy that went out and bought armored cars.”
But Swift is adamant about pressing the button to send a nearly internet-breaking Instagram post, saying that Blackburn has voted against reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act as well as LGBTQ-friendly bills: “I can’t see another commercial [with] her disguising these policies behind the words ‘Tennessee Christian values.’ I live in Tennessee. I am Christian. That’s not what we stand for.” Pushing back tears, she laments not having come out against Trump two years earlier, “but I can’t change that. … I need to be on the right side of history. … Dad, I need you to forgive me for doing it, because I’m doing it.”
Says Swift now, “This was a situation where, from a humanity perspective, and from what my moral compass was telling me I needed to do, I knew I was right, and I really didn’t care about repercussions.”
Swift’s song “Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince” begins to play as she reflects on her time out of the public eye. “It woke me up from constantly feeling like I was fighting for people’s respect,” she says. “It was happiness without anyone else’s input.”
Another clip shows Swift explaining why she chose to become political and endorse two Democratic candidates during the 2018 midterm elections. “I need to be on the right side of history,” she explains.
“I became the person everyone wanted me to be, nobody physically saw me for a year and that’s what I think they wanted. I was constantly fighting for people’s respect. I need to be on the right side of history. It feels f****** awesome.” -Taylor Swift

VIDEO AT LINK..........
I’d say more to the left side of the loony bin.
She’s about to be Dixie Chicked.
Because the 100,000,000 killed by Communists in the 20th century stood on ‘the wrong side of history’ and lost their lives for resisting Marx’s Socialist Utopia???
Ditzi Cuck
Taylor Swift. Has become assimilated with the Borg!
Yet another Lefty Celebrity. Surely Taylor Swift will be the one that tips the scales.
Remember in the old days the career of a teen idol would last 3 years at most? We are going on 15 years now with this ditz, she’s 30 now and her “teen” fans are probably married with kids, so who is buying her mediocre manufactured whiny crap?
“Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but Donald Trump is one of the best Presidents of all time. One of the best Presidents of all time!”
Feminazism is anti-woman and against human rights.
But she’s rich, but apparently not rich enough because she’s in dispute with her publisher. Why she’s practically a slave!
With shallow people, it’s all about how it “feels”.
And as the Dixie Chicks found out, being loved by the Left, doesn’t exactly translate into them buying your albums and going to your concerts. Meanwhile, she just pretty much alienated about 80% of her fanbase.
But at least she does have “F.U. Money.”
Millenials forever in search of their lost minds...................
Bet you a dollar she’ll come out as a lesbo in a few years.
I read today Greta is 17! I couldn’t believe it. I thought she was 10 or 11. So she’s 17 and she still has no idea about world economics, how banning cars, trucks, planes, electric would send this world in an absolute hellhole.
Taylor Swift going on and on (and on) about her ex-boyfriends was tedious, but at least the subject had universal application. Everybody has an ex, so it is something people can relate to.
Taylor Swift going on and on (and on) about political activism is going to wear out very quickly. Nobody gives a hoot about her political awakening. Who is going to listen to that song twice?
LOL! I would love to see that! And he just might do it!
She was exposed as a total fraud when it was revealed that she didn't vote for Blackburn's opponent. In fact, Taylor Swift COULDN'T vote against Blackburn ... because she was registered to vote at her REAL home in New York City.
That went over so well with Tennessee voters that it helped turn a close race into an 11-point win for Blackburn. LOL.
