I don't listen to her music, not a huge fan in that regard - but I love this woman none the less for having a voice loud enough in the current political climate.
Now if she'd just leave the personal jet in it's hangar.

Definitely not a fan of elites flying in their private jets to whatever luxury location.
But can you imagine Taylor Swift flying in a public airplane? She'd be harassed endlessly, even in first class.
Some people are just too well known, unfortunately.
Well let's be hoping she doesn't turn weird like JK Rowling. It seems there's something in the air that makes billionaires turn rather right wing
I've avoided saying things like fascist, nazi, bigot, because there's been a history of JK Rowling litigating people who call her a fascist, transphobic, bitch and I don't want to do that yet
I think a comment I saw recently makes this make sense.
A lot of people have told me as you age, you get more conservative. I have not noticed this happen, but I think an entire generation did. Boomers. As they aged they had so many advantages the entire generation acquired things. Things they don't want to lose because they feel like they earned it. In some ways they did earn it (eg, pursued that promotion, bought that house after "a whole summer of working OT!")... they just don't recognize they started on third base and did not in fact hit a home run.
So if an entire generation can be as awful as they are, I think it must be a general glitch in human psychology. As long as you FEEL like you earned something, you will fight to protect it. I think that's what happens to billionaires. And aging republicans. There will always be exceptions, but I think in general humans will just tend to be this way.
There was a video I saw a while back of a look-alike getting swarmed by fans, fans who were bawling about meeting her, it's just fucking nuts. I saw Harrison Ford once from a distance, and I was like "hey cool, I saw Harrison Ford", but some people just go apeshit.
Republicans: OK, so how can we make this illegal?
There's nothing more undemocratic than encouraging non-republicans to vote.
Heh, youre thinking that Republicans want a democratic system. You're funny
I wonder how many voters have registered so far as a result of that. Assuming it's been 24hrs since her post, and assuming an average of 13,000 every 30min for the full 24hrs, it'd come out to 624,000 people!
That's a lotta voters
I've never been a fan of her music, but I'm kinda becoming a fan of her as a person.
Her music is so neutral that not being a fan means you are actively opposing her.
She isn't my cup of tea, but she has a couple songs I vibe with.
I vibe with all her dongs
I love to put her dongs in my ears
Her music is so neutral that it being a fan means you are actively opposing her.
I'm not sure I understand.
I don't agree with that line of thought. The taste of hospital food is also very neutral but I wouldn't say I'm a fan of it. I also wouldn't say I'm actively opposing it, and if served it in a situation where I can't get anything else I wouldn't snub my nose at it, but it wouldn't be my first choice.
looking forward to some backwater shithole GOP-run state legislature to try and arrest her for election interference
They will have their teeth kicked in by Swifties. Her fans are almost as powerful as kpop fans.
They're not going to vote for Republicans I hope. I don't really follow Swift but I assume she's not, like, a deeply horrible person.
Generally speaking, because Republicans are a minority, the more people that show up to vote, the worse it is for Republicans. That's why they work so hard to suppress voters. Anything that gets more people to vote is good for Dems even if you're not asking people how they're going to vote.

Tldr; yeah they're not going to be voting Republican.
Shit man, I'll make the dumb, easy comment. But I really do mean it: That fuckin' whips ass
The whole reason she's doing this is because she saw that Trump was an awful president and she needs to do her part lmao
She released a whole anti Trump/Republicans song a while back called Only The Young:
And the big bad man and his big bad clan Their hands are stained with red Oh, how quickly, they forget They aren't gonna help us Too busy helping themselves
I'm just glad people are getting involved in the voting process. Let them vote how they choose. This is good for us all.
She made an anthem to gay people at one point so chances of them voting republican are slim lol.
Lemmy's favorite billionaire, I'd warrant.
gotta say i'm genuinely impressed with her because of this
She used to not discuss politics. At all. Once she transitioned fully to pop and had a wider audience, we got Trump, and she finally decided to go full tilt anti-regressive.
There's footage of her, all planned I am sure, arguing with her dad and other business managers about it. They said she'd lose fans and she said she didn't care, and that it was the right thing to do. Again, the cameras were rolling, and I can't imagine it was truly a spur of the moment, candid discussion, but still...she's building the narrative that celebrities have a responsibility to the society that supports them.
I really appreciate the work she's been putting in. She also acquiesced to all the writers' demands during their strike, so they were able to work on her Eras documentary. She's been crushing it.
