Didn't she endorse a Senate candidate a few years ago who lost in a landslide?

She endorsed a Democrat in a state election in dark red Tennessee, shocker that he lost 

[Headlock]

Also you know how Biden could get more voters, particularly young ones? Good policy! Loan forgiveness! Not funding a genocide in Palestine!

 

Leave Taylor out of your dumpster fire of a campaign whose only slogan is “At least I’m not Trump!” 

[burninredhot]

I don't live in the US but I remember a thread on here about how he congratulated Britney Spears instead of Taylor for the success of Eras Tour last year 

 

Also he's funding Israel to **** Gaza currently.. Let's hope Taylor's team isn't dumb and makes sure that she's as away from him as possible 

[ICLDXU4HS]

What’s in it for her other than backlash?

[feelslikeadream]

They think Taylor would attach herself to someone flopping this hard?

 

 

[nadiamendell]

Celebrity endorsements never work, especially in today's world.  Also, celebs would be smart to stay FAR FAR away from both candidates this election. 

[Arrows]

“the Biden team urged applicants in a job posting for a social media position not to describe their Taylor Swift strategy — the campaign had enough suggestions already.”

With numbers like these, people should be running to the nearest lifeboat, not trying to bail out water.  

[Gov Hooka]

US “demockracy” in a nutshell 

[Taylena]

Dems are gonna call Taylor a Russian spy when she doesn't endorse Biden. 

[americanlife]

I hope she stays out of it!

[Rep2000]

Literally, get a job STAY AWAY FROM HER.

[poki]

He bypassed the government in order to provide money to Israel but didn't do it to repay student loans. 

 

I don't even know what to say. How do you even bounce back from that. 

[qurl]

sad indictment of everything involving our national politics

[ZeroSuitBritney]

Although I am disappointed she has not called attention once to the situation in Gaza (because of her power and the influence it could cause), she and her team are not dumb enough to endorse Biden. It will haunt her and her career forever, as it will give off the impression she is okay (or even approving of) the current genocide happening in Gaza and how Biden is handling it.

[woohoo]

In Tennessee, there’s too many hillbillies there to overcome I fear.

First of all - impact!

 

Second of all, hope she doesn’t do it! I understand she’s likely not perfectly in alignment with me politically, but she has to at least see that the Democrats, Joe Biden, and their current platform are poison. She would be donating the public goodwill she’s developed for herself and gaining nothing, while endorsing a platform that is weak at best and quietly in support of an active genocide at worst. What is the point in that? Unless she’s truly one of those people who believes that every effort to stop Trump at all costs outweighs the serious failings of the Democratic Party right now, it just doesn’t make any sense - and as she’s a business woman running a brand, it risks alienating consumers who are profoundly concerned with the Biden administration’s positions in recent months.

 

As a fan, I’d rather her not say a single word than speak on behalf of either major American political party.

If she influenced Biden to change course on Gaza in exchange for her endorsement, I would stan her forever.

[Bloo]

This is embarrassing.

[Sweetness]

Getting involved in politics is a sure way of sabatoging her career and if this is the route their going its because they think her fans are young but they have parents and won't take a liking to this at all.

[Raspberries]

She will very obviously post something trashing Trump as we get into the general election 

[MidnightsAtPeace]

At this point even presidents are begging her to help them with their campaign. now that's impact

hopefully she will stay away from him and other candidates

[Jon Snow]

I'm sure Britney would be eager to help him 

[Luckitty]

you wouldn't have needed Taylor's help if you didn't commit a genocide 

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

Maybe spend more time not being a **** president than worrying about what celebrities will help your titanic-level sinking approval ratings, Biden. 
 

Taylor won’t get you out of this one 

[Paddy]

Honestly, any presidential candidate should be ashamed of trying to get Taylor on their side or attend anyone's tour to win over their fans. 

Seems desperate and spurious...
