Don’t Endorse For President, Taylor Swift — Unify Us Instead
New York Post ^ | Sep. 10, 2024 | Andrew Stein

With a net worth that exceeds the GDP of many small countries and a fan base known for its zeal, Taylor Swift is one of the biggest artists of the century — and commands immense influence in our culture. Yet in this intense election season, Swift has fallen silent on politics, despite several much-hyped endorsements in the past. For the good of all, let’s hope she remains mum.

While some express frustration at her quiet — a group dubbing itself “Swifties4Kamala” has formed to campaign for the Democrat without their idol — the superstar’s political silence should be celebrated.

An endorsement of Harris, a polarizing political figure, could alienate a significant portion of her fan base, undermining the very connection that has made her so successful. The positive effects of a celebrity endorsement are minimal for politician,” said researcher Michael Cobb of North Carolina State University. “Instead, it’s much easier for perceptions of a celebrity to be adversely affected by giving his or her endorsement.”

Why do you need some celeb to tell you who to vote for?

She was and probably still is very anti Trump and was for Brandon in 2020. Nuff said.

She could endorse, but,how many of those 4-17-year ods are going to vote for Kamala if she does endorse her. even the moms and dads who take their kids to Kamala concerts don’t do it because of Swift’s politics. Heck, most parents would not even go to Swift concerts if not for the kiddies.

Besides, her music and songs stink. Can’t understand how the kids have such bad taste in music. I got 2 granddaughter, both 12 now, and they think Swift’s music is awful and always have been.

How far American culture has fallen. Jesters used to be shunned.

She’s basically a high school dropout with a completely bizarre social life and no life experience

That any one would look at her for life advice is insane

It’s like Madonna isn’t an aging drunk. We’ll never be rid of this personality!
