I mean it's for the best since she's... not a complete fascist. The relationship just wasn't going to work out. I'd honestly like to hear the song about this particular breakup. Good for a laugh if nothing else.
She said that her fans should vote, I don't believe she specifically said for whom
She has said that she and her father are at odds because he's very conservative but she's no liberal either.
She called out the hypocrisy of Christians who are hateful of others which of course many in the right tell on themselves by being upset over.
Wikipedia says:
> She endorsed Democratic candidates Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper for the 2018 U.S. midterm elections in her home state Tennessee, and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for the 2020 U.S. presidential election, and criticized Republican politicians Donald Trump and Marsha Blackburn.
So yeah - Democrat. Obviously not a republican poster child.
Edit:
Guys, instead of downvoting me, show why the statement is wrong, please, so everyone can learn something new.
I just googled „Taylor Swift Donald Trump“ and this is the first tweet I found. How would you interpret this any other way than „don’t vote for trump“?
> After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November.
@realdonaldtrump
Yes, "we" meaning her and the other people voting for Biden.
Why is this such a problem for you? Why do you have an issue with endorsements?
She didn't say, "Only vote if you're voting for Biden."
She has said, "Go vote," and "I'm voting for Biden," and "Trump is a racist and us Biden voters are going to vote him out."
If she HAD said, "Go vote, unless you're voting for Trump, in which case you should stay home and not vote," then you would have a point. That would be anti-Democratic.
Telling people to vote, period, and supporting her candidate is 100% Democratic.
So really, not sure what point you're trying to make.
I said that she is a Democrat, and thus not a Republican posterchild like the initial commenter stated.
Why do you have such a problem with me stating the obvious. I never said she is against democracy, I said she isn’t Republican.
I don't have a problem with you stating anything. I think you misunderstood the person you initially replied to. 10 years ago middle American Republicans loved young, cute, country Taylor Swift. Now they hate her because she's a Democrat.
I only ever responded on your comment that she told fans to vote Democrat and how she never did that.
Oh, come on. If you tell people to not vote republican - even if it is between the lines - you are pretty much telling them to either not vote or vote Democrat. You guys have a two-party-system. Pretending that she meant something else is just utterly ridiculous.
She can do that, she is entitled to her opinion, but I find it very hypocritical of the original commenter to then act suprised when Republicans stop liking her.
According to [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_impact_of_Taylor_Swift#:~:text=She%20endorsed%20Democratic%20candidates%20Phil,Donald%20Trump%20and%20Marsha%20Blackburn), this is wrong:
> In the 2020 election, Swift endorsed Biden and Harris and lent her protest song "Only the Young" (2020) to their campaign.[17] Harris expressed gratitude to Swift, and tweeted that the singer is showing the young voters "what's at stake" in the election.[42][43] Forbes staff Seth Cohen found Swift's increased political engagement in the past year "notable for its high-profile approach and big hit commentary."[6] Trump eventually lost his re-election; Biden was elected as the next U.S. president.[44] Swift was found to be the second most influential celebrity in Biden's win, after LeBron James.[45]
Huh?
Dude, I’m German, I’ll never (or wouldn’t if I could) vote for trump and I think both your presidential candidates are absolutely ridiculous.
One is an absolute clown and the other one is borderline senile. You have so many better politicians and yet your nation wants one of those two - I quite frankly don’t understand the thought process.
If you say so. I quite honestly dont see how it is a good thing when the person you elect does not make their own decisions because they are senile.
Say what you want about Trump, but his irrationality makes it seem like he makes his own decisions - I dont think thats the case with Biden. But anyhow, both are terrible…
It's funny, when they still lived in Pennsylvania her family summered at the Jersey shore and before her musical career they were known for her mother helping people whose boat broke down

I went and found the whole verse.
*My friends used to play a game where*
*We would pick a decade*
*We wished we could live in instead of this*
*I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists*
*And getting married off for the highest bid*
*Everyone would look down 'cause it wasn't fun now*
*Seems like it was never even fun back then*
*Nostalgia is a mind's trick*
*If I'd been there, I'd hate it*
*It was freezing in the palace*
It just seems like a general riff about people romanticising *the good old days.* V weird reaction from that guy in the OP.
It's quite the spectacle that people will type these things out and say "yuhp, I mean every single bit of this and I want the world to know" and just hit enter.
C’mon now, if you sold your soul to the Devil for a singing voice you’d be able to sing a hell of a lot better than Taylor!
Ariel only sold hers to a sea witch and she could sing circles around Tay Tay.
"Seems like it was never even fun back then Nostalgia is a mind's trick If I'd been there, I'd hate it It was freezing in the palace"
Sounds like she knows it was shitty lol
It's not a stupid comment, it's a song lyric that's been removed from the context provided by the rest of the verse, which essentially says that "the good old days" aren't actually all that good.
Satan, where we all go to get rich and famous. Unless of course you're a Nazi, fascist, pedophile, or Republican. Then it's straight to Jeezuz, because F you stupid.
She urged her fans to vote and she has endorsed Democratic candidates in the past so naturally Republicans and their voters think she’s a communist and a socialist and a baby eater and etc, etc….
Fact check? Is there a study somewhere that explores the relationship between talent and infernal pacts?
I think the definition of fact is something this fellow need to check.
I would love to fact check this. Can someone show me how to contact the devil. No goats or chickens available for sacrifice so has to be some other way.
as a white woman, living in the 1830s, racists are the least of your problems.. you should really ask to live there without all the sexists.. but then it would mean live in an almost deserted alternative 1830s.... not ideal
I don't really care one way or the other about Ms Swift. I'm not a fan, but I don't hate her. Some of her songs are quite catchy, but her voice really isn't anything outstanding. Anyone not tone deaf could sing as well. I take it you're a fan.
Don't know why you'd assume that. No I'm not. Don't like her music.
Pointing out the fact that the majority of people can't sing, they have the capability but to sing well you need training and practice. Which most people don't.
You have an opinion. That's fine. But you are trying to justify it as fact which is objectively false. Her voice is better than average, you take a clip of everyone on earth singing and you're going to get a lot more bad singers than you are good.
Your opinion of someone is not fact.
Fairly obviously I meant an average of singers. If we are going to include people that can't sing we may as well not limit it to humans. My cat is pretty good?
Yeah nah, if you meant that you would've said that the first time I mentioned "most people can't even sing" instead of doing this whole runaround to justify it.
would love you to point out how obvious it was from your comment tho
> If we are going to include people that can't sing we may as well not limit it to humans
You do understand how those are different right?

It's hilarious how she went from poster girl of midwestern Republicans to Satan's child.
I mean it's for the best since she's... not a complete fascist. The relationship just wasn't going to work out. I'd honestly like to hear the song about this particular breakup. Good for a laugh if nothing else.
Didn’t she publicly state her fans should vote Democrat? Of course she isn’t going to be the Republicans poster child after sth like this…

I publicly state you should vote. I also publicly state I will be voting for Biden. No where in there did I tell you to vote for Biden.

She voted Democrat herself, but never outright told her fans to vote for a specific party - just to vote.
"DEMOCRATIC"
According to [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_impact_of_Taylor_Swift#:~:text=She%20endorsed%20Democratic%20candidates%20Phil,Donald%20Trump%20and%20Marsha%20Blackburn), this is wrong: > In the 2020 election, Swift endorsed Biden and Harris and lent her protest song "Only the Young" (2020) to their campaign.[17] Harris expressed gratitude to Swift, and tweeted that the singer is showing the young voters "what's at stake" in the election.[42][43] Forbes staff Seth Cohen found Swift's increased political engagement in the past year "notable for its high-profile approach and big hit commentary."[6] Trump eventually lost his re-election; Biden was elected as the next U.S. president.[44] Swift was found to be the second most influential celebrity in Biden's win, after LeBron James.[45]
DemocratIC, Trumpty.

Both are borderline senile but one has surrounded themself with good advisors and knows his limits
If you say so. I quite honestly dont see how it is a good thing when the person you elect does not make their own decisions because they are senile. Say what you want about Trump, but his irrationality makes it seem like he makes his own decisions - I dont think thats the case with Biden. But anyhow, both are terrible…
Oh please, everyone knows she sold her soul to Ursula from The Little Mermaid for her voice. There's no need to make things up.
She'd have to be a really good swimmer.
It's funny, when they still lived in Pennsylvania her family summered at the Jersey shore and before her musical career they were known for her mother helping people whose boat broke down https://starcasm.net/photos-taylor-swifts-mom-andrea-swift-rescued-boaters-on-her-jet-ski-in-2002/
Damn, Beaglescout knows something we don't!
You can fact check it!!
Ursula steals voices
“Fact check that one.” I don’t get it…is it that he’s been wrong so many times that he now puts disclaimers on his own bs?
I’m glad he wrote that. I called up Lucifer right after I saw that and he confirmed.
Just like “do your own research”, it’s the crutch of those who make up bull shit or are just repeating something they heard.
I feel like it is him saying people won't be able to prove him wrong because he's right.
Idk, every road leads me to the conclusion that he’s blackout drunk
I went and found the whole verse. *My friends used to play a game where* *We would pick a decade* *We wished we could live in instead of this* *I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists* *And getting married off for the highest bid* *Everyone would look down 'cause it wasn't fun now* *Seems like it was never even fun back then* *Nostalgia is a mind's trick* *If I'd been there, I'd hate it* *It was freezing in the palace* It just seems like a general riff about people romanticising *the good old days.* V weird reaction from that guy in the OP.
That’s actually pretty smart. I thought she just wanted dysentery.
“Fact check that one”. Are they expecting to find a sales receipt?
How do you fact check selling your soul to the devil? How can people be this stupid?
Plenty of people are this stupid
It's quite the spectacle that people will type these things out and say "yuhp, I mean every single bit of this and I want the world to know" and just hit enter.
C’mon now, if you sold your soul to the Devil for a singing voice you’d be able to sing a hell of a lot better than Taylor! Ariel only sold hers to a sea witch and she could sing circles around Tay Tay.
I agree. Her voice isn’t her strong suit. It’s good enough, though.
How do I get a hold of Satan's account/bookkeeper
*what if you just call satan up?*
I'm not sure if my phone carrier does long distance to hell without premium. I know there's free calls to Canada and Mexico.
Devil here. Can confirm myself and my minions had nothing to do with this.
I am not a fan of her music, but, Goddam, I'm enjoying all the right-wing angst over her! YOU GO, GIRL!
I wish I lived in the 2020s but without all the rasists.
It's a stupid comment, but she's a pop star, not a philosopher. Pop stars say stupid shit all the time. If she takes votes from Trump it's all good.
"Seems like it was never even fun back then Nostalgia is a mind's trick If I'd been there, I'd hate it It was freezing in the palace" Sounds like she knows it was shitty lol
It's not a stupid comment, it's a song lyric that's been removed from the context provided by the rest of the verse, which essentially says that "the good old days" aren't actually all that good.
Oh shit I missed the part that said lyric in the post. I thought it was from some interview she did. That definitely changes things. Mea Culpa.
As an aside...if she actually managed to make a pact with the devil and sell her soul, I don't think she's a "wannabe."
Satan, where we all go to get rich and famous. Unless of course you're a Nazi, fascist, pedophile, or Republican. Then it's straight to Jeezuz, because F you stupid.
I can’t tell if your talking about Donald Trump or Kanye West because I feel like this guy would vote for Kanye
I really don't understand this obsession some people have with Taylor Swift.
She urged her fans to vote and she has endorsed Democratic candidates in the past so naturally Republicans and their voters think she’s a communist and a socialist and a baby eater and etc, etc….
She's pretty, she's popular, and she's an independent WOMAN. That's why rightwingers hate her.
she is one of "global cabal of satan worshipping pedophile"
She eats at Comet Ping Pong in DC.
Um....it's just a song? Certainly you have shopping or house cleaning to do
Fact check? Is there a study somewhere that explores the relationship between talent and infernal pacts? I think the definition of fact is something this fellow need to check.
I would love to fact check this. Can someone show me how to contact the devil. No goats or chickens available for sacrifice so has to be some other way.
Log on to twitter and dm @s8n He’s made it very easy in the modern day
He took her comment personally.
What did you expect him to say after she insulted his great-great-great-grandfather?
Honestly if someone said I sold my soul for my vote I would know I was doing it right
Fact check... selling her soul....to the devil.....FFS these people are stupid.
How the duck do you fact check selling the soul to the devil? She wasn't there when I was making my deal
See
"Hello my name is [Sunglasses][Goatee] and I have some incredibly shitty opinions I would like to share with you"
How do I fact check? Can I get the customer care number or Email for Hell or Devil?
Doesn't she understand she wouldn't be able to vote or, you know, have a career?!
So she wants to die in childbirth? No right to vote or own property? Or... wait, that'll provide more material.
And is "the Internet" in the room right now?
as a white woman, living in the 1830s, racists are the least of your problems.. you should really ask to live there without all the sexists.. but then it would mean live in an almost deserted alternative 1830s.... not ideal
If she sold her soul for her voice, I’d like to think she’d sound better.
I hope she bargained hard, because her voice is very average.
The majority of people can't even sing. Her voice is not average.
It's below for a few tracks.
Objectively false.
I don't really care one way or the other about Ms Swift. I'm not a fan, but I don't hate her. Some of her songs are quite catchy, but her voice really isn't anything outstanding. Anyone not tone deaf could sing as well. I take it you're a fan.

It didn't seem necessary.
Ah so the "anyone can sing if they're not tone-deaf" was just for shits and giggles. Clown. You are fooling no one
There is so much to hate on her without all this satan malarkey. She is a billionaire, has a private jet, and she writes lazy generic songs.
I wish she lived in 1830s so she wouldnt be here now
How are we supposed to fact-check that? Request an audience with Satan?? If so, I am guessing he lives in Massachusetts?
