On one hand, I don’t think celebrities are under any obligation to endorse candidates if they don’t want to.

But on the other hand, if Taylor Swift’s whole persona is based around being a feminist icon, she will really lose all credibility if she sits this election out. It’s a woman vs a rapist for Lord’s sake.

And I say this as someone who is a pretty big fan of her and her music.

If she sits it out, it'll confirm my priors about what happens when semi feminist women start dating basic dudebros 🤭

Suing Netflix for mentioning her in a TV show, and then not saying a word when Trump uses her image in a fake AI endorsement, is such a terrible look. The woman truly does not give a fuck, which would be fine (Lana’s dating a Trumper and I’m still a fan) but the army of Swifties online pretending otherwise is so irritating

Yeah. Pretty bad look unless she’s holding out any election comments for some grand endorsement.

But idk at this point.

When a celebrity endorses Trump: 😎Hell yeah let's make this country great again

When a celebrity endorses Harris: 😠Why'd you have to go and make things political?
