Trump risks backlash as MAGA world zeroes in on Taylor Swift
The Hill ^ | 02/02/24 5:30 AM ET | BY JULIA MUELLER

Former President Trump’s supporters are going after Taylor Swift amid chatter about whether the superstar could wade into the 2024 election with a coveted endorsement for President Biden.

Conservatives in both traditional media and social media have been launching conspiracy theories against the pop superstar, something that ramped up after The New York Times reported that the Biden campaign was actively hoping for her endorsement.

Trump, who is usually not shy about speaking his opinion, so far has stayed out of the fray, though Rolling Stone reported this week that the former president’s allies are pledging a “holy war” against Swift, especially if she sides with Democrats in November.

Vivek Ramaswamy, a former presidential candidate who has thrown his support behind Trump, is perhaps the most high-profile Republican to go after the singer so far, stoking theories that the NFL is rigging football games for Swift’s Kansas City beau as Democrats look for her endorsement.

“I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” Ramaswamy wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall.”

Media is engaging in ‘Astroturfing’. Ignore the contrived bait as well as celebrities in general.

I doubt he'll convert the Swiftheads.

Rumors are the Biden team is wooing her to help him get reelected.

It make perfect sense in a woke world for a woman famous for singing songs about her poor choices in men to influence our election.

It is the stupidest thing that could happen, which makes it highly likely.

Yeah, let Taylor Ditz endorse Biden “Keep the border open so the risk of rape is kept at a high level!”

I think the main issue here is who gives a shxt what she thinks or who she may or may not endorse.

Taylor Ditz is a prime example of the horror of social media. If it wasn’t for that, her and her extremely medicore music would have gone the way of Debbie Gibson, Tiffany and faded away like a bad fungus.

Yeah, leave Taylor alone. That’s Rolling Stone’s job. If they’ve already interviewed her once, they can do it again. If they publish a 2nd interview it could trigger public mass-burnings.

That’s a good one! LOL!

I can say that I’ve never in my life (knowingly) heard anything by Taylor Swift. I’ll stick to Karen Carpenter and The Eagles.

If I had the money, I would bet her a billion bucks to present one shred of valid evidence Trump ever “stoked the fires of white supremacy and racism” that effin b**ch. And what about Biden? Mr. “Racial jungle”? She ever tagged him on that?

I am SO sick of the left pushing that utter garbage on Trump because they are LYING. That’s what I hate about social media, this hit and run ability is gives slime like her. She puts this crap out knowing full well nobody can call her on it, and how many people read that? Millions, but not one person can get in her paralyzed looking dopey face and call her on it.

And BTW, if she supports looting so much how about she open one of her mansions to the public?

So far I’ve heard more people complaining about conservatives attacking Taylor Swift than actual conservatives attacking her.

Single women love Taylor Swift. This is a major communist voting bloc that needs to be energized if they want to win.

This is more gaslighting. Lots of folks think she needs to stay in her lane. Whether its the typical NFL fan thinking shes a PR stunt or the idea she’d endorse a senile corrupt racist pedo just because orange man bad.

LOL! I read one comment on Youtube a few months ago that had me cracking up. It was an ad for some movie where this guy goes to hell, I forget the name of it, and somebody wrote

“That’s not hell. I’ve been to hell. I was forced to sit through an entire Taylor Swift concert to keep an eye on my sister. Somehow I survived”
