celeb news Taylor hangs out with MAGA Supporters at US Open - the megathread

[kexin]

The selective outrage is interesting when she & Bey collabed with Post Malone earlier this year, who has openly supported Morgan Wallen (a racist)

[PoisonedIvy]

Oh god, they're Gaylors. I always knew they'd cause pandemonium for the fandom.

How about judging anyone's morals based on their proximity to others is completely insane and we shouldn't do it.

Good they need to leave the fandom if they feel so strongly about it. Then her next tour won't be so damn hard to get tickets to.

Also, finding complaints on twitter is like finding a fork in a kitchen. That's all those people do on that website. It's a literal cesspool of negativity. It never amounts to any real world impact. Which means, unfortunately, it will still be hard to get tickets to her next tour.

And lastly, literally all they are doing is providing ammo for Taylor to victimize herself for rep TV. Does no one see this?

[Thor]

She is literally "dating" a Trump supporter, so like what's shocking about this?

Friend, are you okay? See I was going to throw some shade but I don't want you coming for my neck.

When has she shown support for Trump?  I can actually show you many times she's shown hatred for him and slammed him.

In summation, Trump himself made several posts claiming she endorsed him, and she has never refuted those claims.

[Arthoe]

Glad to see that at least some Swifties have a backbone to disgree with their fav.

now we all know she's going to do something to "overshadow" all of this, specially with the VMAs around the corner.

 

the cult will fall in line 

 

[Rihinvention]

Maybe I'm alone in this, but I actually think remaining friends/family with someone, despite them holding different political beliefs, is a huge sign of maturity…

 

If you ask any American what their favourite thing about America is, they're bound to say "freedom" (even though most of the world has freedom)

 

That includes the freedom to vote for whoever you want. I think people on the far-left think everyone should vote blue, and people on the far-right think everyone should vote red. News flash: if you're trying to force everyone to support one candidate and one candidate only, you're no longer in a democracy. You no longer have freedom.

 

I don't like Trump or MAGA extremists either. I understand that he's a unique candidate in that what he has said & done is appalling. I understand the threats he's imposing on reproductive rights, queer/trans rights, black lives, etc. But the unfortunate fact is, a lot of people support him and a lot of liberals/progressives are connected to those people.

 

Almost everyone in America is bound to be connected to someone they disagree with politically — parents, friends, coworkers, their partner's friend group, etc. 

 

Putting those differences aside and remaining friends should show that it's possible to remain "my fellow Americans." Besides, that's how people are able to reach out and change each other's minds (if they're able to be mature and have calm, civil conversations)

 

If everyone cut each other out of their families and friend groups, the country would eventually break out in a civil war.

 

People already know Taylor's political opinions. Befriending someone who votes red doesn't mean she does too. It simply means she has the maturity to put political beliefs aside and agree-to-disagree.

 

I'm sure we all have family, friends and coworkers who vote differently to us too. Does that relationship change our votes? No. So why would it change hers?

she will talk about trump, just wait and see. 

[JustHoran]

I love Taylor, but tbh I'm losing respect for her. She's not said anything against Trump and all of these Swifties are right and now she's hugging all over Brittany Mahomes who is a HUGE MAGA? Yeah. I think I'll be saving a lot of money from now on.

[Gladiator]

I don't disagree or think that these fans are in the wrong for being upset that Taylor has not spoken up politically thus far. That is a completely sensible thing to expect of someone you follow who has done so in the past.

 

I don't agree or understand the anger and outrage people have that she dare hug someone of different views than her. I don't think it is likely at all that within the past 4 years because she has reached yet another peak, she has cast aside all of her social ideals and is now a closeted Trump supporter like some in the other thread suggested. That is nonsensical to me when she has political undertones promoting progressive social ideals in songs from all her albums.

[TipToe]

See, i would never cut relations with friends or family over political views but i'd feel enraged to see someone close to me supporting a person like Trump. It's okay if she's meeting friends like that, doing the social thing, she might be avoiding getting into political discussions with them but if i was her i would also avoid to be seen in public with them. She's a highly influential public person, she knows what people speculate about her so why she isn't being proactive on this matter and is willing to send "wrong signals" is really strange.

[discotitzz]

Would I prefer that she didn't hang around a Trump supporter? Yeah, but at the end of the day, it's a woman with bad politics, not an abuser in her close circle or something similar. That is something I would find objectionable. 

[KillingYourCareer]

Being a Swiftie also means accepting everything she does is calculated and for her own convenience

[McNulty]

The timing of this is terrible 

[Princess Aurora]

Did you notice that Taylor Swift always gets in trouble during leap years except in 2020? Is it a coincidence?

[HealerKirby]

For people who are confused why some of her past actions/beliefs do not align with what she's doing right now, I think it's important to note that straight women changing her views/behaviors to match that of her man, particularly those who have been struggling for quite a while to land a husband, is a pretty common phenomenon (I'm sure any gays who befriend lots of women can find examples of this in real life).

I'm not saying that all straight women do this or that this is acceptable, just that this is an understandable possibility
