Taylor Swift is a phenomenon I’m too old to understand. She went from being a country singer who wrote songs about her bad choices in men to being a pop singer who wrote songs about her bad choices in men. Her fans, however, are fanatic in a way that says less about Swift and more about what happens when people are deprived of a true object of worship (i.e., God) or worthy subjects of admiration (e.g., Cincinnatus, George Washington, Mother Theresa, etc.).
But, still, she’s a phenomenon, so conservatives worried when she endorsed Harris—and Democrats attacked anyone who dared challenge Swift. However, in true Trumpenfreude fashion (a term Don Surber coined to show how Trump always wins in the end), Trump is coming out on top of this one.
So, as I said, Swift endorsed Kamala Harris. J.D. Vance challenged that endorsement, and he did so quite politely:
We admire Taylor Swift's music, but I don’t think most Americans, whether they like her music, are fans of her or not, are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who I think is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans.
The hard-left San Francisco Chronicle instantly noted that the internet class attacked Vance for being tone-deaf because Trump himself is a billionaire celebrity. Hah-hah! Stupid Vance.
However, they missed the part about Trump’s words speaking lovingly of ordinary people and his policies benefitting them. Kamala boasts about her mother worrying about her Canadian lawn, but her policies (aka Obama’s and Biden’s policies) have devastated ordinary people.
As for Swift, again, she’s all about her bad choices and her luxe lifestyle.
Trump was less polite than Vance when it come to Swift:

The cats are a metaphor.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
Bredenson would have pivoted into leftist agenda just as Gore, Clinton and a number of moderate Democrats did once they get to Washington.
They and some Republicans get “Potomac Fever” and become much more to see big government as the solution for every woe.
Thank goodness we got Marsha in there and not Phil.
She earned 900 million before her dumb jock boyfriend. He may have helped with the final 100 million. However, he’s the one that benefited most from this dumb stunt. His brother and overbearing mother hit the jackpot from this facade.
A near teenager...worth a billion dollars...endorses a Maoist in a pantsuit. Shouldn’t she concentrate on popping those zits and leave politics to the adults?
That was real swift....................
All while almost pulling down her panties like she's going to take them off. Cringe worthy. Actually it's kind of sad. Something wrong with a grown woman who acts like that.
No matter how rich or famous you are, peer pressure can still make you do stupid things.
Not knowing Ms Swift personally I would suspect under all that glamour is the shy, insecure, country girl still trying to fit in with the “in crowd”.
She may lack the courage to go against the crowd and so her support of Harris is just a way of fitting in.
Ms Swift is insulated from the real world that the Democrats are creating and does not have enough empathy to feel the pain millions of Americans are suffering under Democrat control of all our institutions.
I don’t hate her, I pity her.
Her bangs are frightening.
She’s not a near-teenager. She’s 35, childless, and running out of ova.
Our Trained Monkeys have a very high opinion of themselves. Often poorly educated, coddled, drug and alcohol addled, unable to even pretend to observe the simplest of social norms, completely out of touch and out of step with America and Americans and apparently proud of it.
Shut up and sing/act/play/juggle/dance, trained monkeys.
Marx was only half right: celebrity is actual opiate of the masses…..

You write, “Taylor Swift fans are by and large a demographic that is already the most reliable Democrat voters (aside from black women). Most are young suburban woman who overwhelmingly back democrats because they want free abortion on demand and free child care.”
I believe that most young college-educated suburban women, and perhaps most suburban woman don’t want children.
Dixie Chickens....some one dig that up.
I have a collection of MP3’s (well over 38,000) on a drive.
Haven’t listened to most of them, over a thousand going back to the 1940’s.
I do know that I have a few from TS. Listened to a couple of them. Nothing to shout about, but I see why adolescent mentality women(you know, FJB and cameltoe supporters) would like her.
His ego won’t let him stop saying stupid things. Had he stayed off twitter originally, he would still be president.
I agree. Trump needs to work on his unforced errors. They detract from Trump's character; they bolster Kamala voters; they turn-off voters who are on the fence.
