Is Taylor Swift a secret Trump supporter? {hey, we all need a larf}
The Guardian ^ | 10th September 2024 | Arwa Mahdawi

It was the embrace that launched a thousand tweets: on Sunday, Taylor Swift hugged Brittany Mahomes – the wife of NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes – at the US Open. A photo of the hug immediately had tongues wagging.

If you’re not Extremely Online, the only thing that might stand out from the innocuous-seeming hug photo is that Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce (also in the photo) has horrendous taste in hats. The broader context, however, is Mahomes’s link to Donald Trump. Last week the former president thanked Mahomes for “strongly defending me” after she liked one of his Instagram posts back in August. That post, titled “The 2024 GOP Platform”, outlined what a second Trump term would consist of – things such as “the largest deportation operation in American history”. Mahomes did not appreciate people criticising her for liking the post (which she seems to have later unliked), calling them “haters” with “deep-rooted issues … from childhood”.

...The Mahomes hug isn’t the only evidence people are citing to suggest Swift, who endorsed Democratic candidates in 2018 and Joe Biden in 2020, might be leaning to the right now. There’s also the fact she was tight-lipped when Trump recently shared a bunch of AI-generated images on his Truth Social platform that implied Swift and her fans were endorsing him. “The Swifties for Trump movement is real!” the post, originally created by a murky rightwing non-profit, read. “I accept!” Trump wrote above the fake photos.

.. Swift isn’t avoiding politics by staying quiet: her silence speaks louder than words.

Or they could just not let politics affect their friendship.

Like I’ve said: people can talk all day long, but in the privacy of the ballot box it might be a different story.

Better question, why are people so infatuated with what celebrities think?

Hug a Trump supporter, go to jail... or a reeducation camp.

I haven’t forgotten about that either.

~~~

For her, it would definitely be re-education.
They (lefty democrats) need her, her money, and her influence!
They would risk alienating her.

They would probably try to stage an intervention of a sort. An ambush by a bunch of leftists and maybe some people close to her.

Sorta like how Pelosi and powerful lefty dems ambushed Joe Biden that fateful Sunday night, although I’m sure theirs wasn’t an intervention. It was a psychological assault on a man no longer cognitively equipped to resist them.

Her recent concert that was cancelled due to a terrorist threat perhaps has opened her eyes. This is no time for unserious people like Kamala to be in power.

I need to know - how else can I decide on who to vote for?

It even disappeared from conservative media and Twitter. Strange. I always thought their relationship was a fake, but its possible this "leaked contract" could be a hoax too.

OMG - some pop singer hugged an NFL wife who may not hate Trump as much as most leftists do! Time for today's leftist meltdown.
