Trump is responsible for a coup, Roe being overturned, trans people being persecuted and you know his Supreme court is coming for Obergefell. He is a danger to democracy and society and his supporters are either evil or at best, severely low information.

 

That said, what do you do in this circumstance? Pretend you don't see her? It would only be awkward and cause problems in team relations. You know how I feel about Taylor but right is right.

Taylor isn't just cordial, they are friends. She was recently at Taylor's rhode island house.

It's actually very concerning how people who are supposed to be forward progressive thinkers have expressed further insistence on not only driving further divide among the people who opposed them but now the people within their own political beliefs system who dare to interact with someone or have a close relation with someone on the right.

This and Lana Del Rey currently dating a Trump supporter but you'll come for Taylor 

 

All of these are wrong, but obviously Taylor will get more attention as she's much more famous.

Taylor has yet to endorse Kamala or call out Trump for using an AI image of her, so no we don't "know where she stands"

 

Taylor is either afraid to lose Trump supporting fans or she's a trump supporter herself, both of which are pathetic.

 

Funny that she loves to say how much of a feminist she is yet has been silent in speaking out against Trump when 2 women were running against him. 

One being a WOC.  Remember Matty Healy.

None of our faves are class concious. They are bleeding heart performative liberals at best.  Instances like these should serve as a reminder to all of us.

 

Once the facists take over, our faves will be on their private islands in safety with their money. We (the queers) will be the first ones in the concentration camps, and they'll continue to be "cordial" because that's what "mature adults" just do. Why have a backbone, when you could be keeping peace for peace's sake only. Let's not pretend like nothing is happening.

To be fair, Taylor is the one being hailed as the biggest star in the music industry rn, not Lana. Yall can't have it both ways. If you want to call her The Music Industry then you have to accept that everything she does will be magnified and under scrutiny. That's part of the territory.

If I never mentioned that I was black would you be saying this to me? 

Where did you even mention that, because if you think that I bothered to read anything other than op then you're mistaken and sorry to disappoint you but neither I or literacy discriminate, and how old are you to come here and play this dumb game with a poc?

 

Now to my point that you tried to stupidly deflect, you can downvote all you want, but did you even read my initial post before you blindly and idiotically downvoted?

[americanlife]

I am okay with it! Taylor is thoughtful and she considers that her friends may have different opinions. She doesn't let that get in the way of friendship.

And again, I didn't say anything about that because it wasn't PUBLIC. She deliberately embraced Brittany. PUBLICLY.

[Saintlor]

People are giving it's okay to be friends with a Hitler supporter because not everyone has the same political beliefs  

[curiousladybug]

Not surprised. Her boyfriend (as well as his family) is probably a Trump supporter as well. She's just like that and the fact she didn't show her support for Harris speaks volumes. Taylor was always giving republican honestly.. 

[latingrl2005]

I'm glad. Now the crazies have something to day on a Sunday afternoon.

Exactly. And Taylor's dad is a Trump supporter. And idc. Because that's her Dad. So trying to bring up Gaga's dad is dumb. Plus I'm an OGH LOL.

[Doctor Dick]

Only Swifties will be defending her in this situation but objectively it's disgusting. I don't see any other female artists hugging republican friends.

Do we? Based on what?

 

Based on what Taylor has said over the years, who she has endorsed, who she has campaigned for, who she has voted for etc.  She has made it extremely clear where she stands, has slammed Trump numerous times, has been very vocal with her support for the LGBTQ community, was extremely outspoken about the history of confederate/racist monuments that need to be taken down, has actually put her money and action where her mouth is for a lot of these things and donated/raised money/taken action for change.  Basic logic will tell you that all of those things outweighs her giving her boyfriend's teammate's wife a quick hug at a public event.  As for Travis, some of you are forgetting how Trump hates Travis and called "Mr. Pfizer" because he campaigned for Pfizer covid shots.

 

I also think you guys are forgetting how mere months ago, the Trumpsters were extremely convinced that Taylor and "Mr. Pfizer" were being given so much publicity to try and sway people against Trump.  And after the Vienna situation, they were slamming her for "being a leftist and supporting Kamala who supports Palestine despite this!!!"

Poc, not black. And what does my literacy have to do with this thread? Again, you got called out. Let me guess … you're Asian?

All in 2020 or before. Her political views can and most likely have changed.

Yes, we do know the morals she stands for and we know hates Trump.   If you want to cite things she said in 2015, her being silent during the 2016 election (and her later explaining why), we can certainly cite all of the things she's said and done about him from 2018-2020. 

 

Some of you are making this WAY deeper than it actually is.  I can't imagine what it must be like to have dissertations and this much drama based on a quick greeting with someone at a public event.

@storminthedark @SweetenerNostalgia @40_L3VE why did y'all even dislike my post - I mean, you cannot know every person's you meet political views, so why should exactly Taylor be blamed for the other woman supporting Trump I'm looking for your explanations

Politics is such a huge topic that just by hanging out a couple of times with someone you know where they stand. That's part of a friendship and part of the reason why you decide to be friends with someone in the first place. Taylor is hugging this girl and bffs with Blake Lively  Like, it says a lot about her character.

[liam13]

the left attacks her cuz she hugs a republican friend and hasn't endorsed kamala.

the right attacks her cuz she's dating a vax supporter and accuses her of being a psyop.

 

like i said, she can do whatever she wants at this point since yall gonna attack her anyway 

[BrokenMachine]

I'm disgusted with the amount of Taylor threads about nonsense 

[khalyan]

It’s been obvious for a while that Taylor is a republican, but the recent happenings between Brittany Mahomes and Trump using the AI photo of her with no repercussions is the final confirmation.
