Choosing to associate herself with someone Trump recently gave a personal shout out, while also choosing to stay silent on the election and not endorsing Kamala, are two very disappointing decisions from Taylor. 

EXACTLY. She CHOSE to do that. Deliberately. No one forced her to.

She has literally only spoken negatively about Trump, slammed him numerous times and campaigned against him a few years ago.  I don't know why some of you would rather make up your own reality.

Because it gives them a reason to hate Taylor. It's really that simple. 

[Solaria]

Taylor is not a Republican she just doesnt give a **** about who she associates with. She knows people will forget about stuff like this in like five seconds and that it doesn't truly hurt her brand at all.

I think that's a bit harsh of a conclusion. I do think her boyfriend is a republican and she surrounds herself a lot with republican thinkers, but that doesn't mean she also believes in it. But yes, she should consider being more responsible with what she decides to platform and associate herself with. Especially during election season. 

According to Gayle King, Travis wanted to attend the DNC this year.  He also was in Pfizer commercials for the covid vaccine, which was (unfortunately) very politicized and he got quite a bit of flack from Trump for it.   I'm pretty sure he's not a republican.

 

 

What's funny about this whole thing is....if your read the comments on posts about her from right leaning sources like the NYPost, the Trumpers know she and Travis are both Democrats.  They hated her earlier this year because they thought their continued publicity was to sway people into being against Trump (since she is known to be a Democrat and dislikes him) Yet some in the stan world want to believe she's a Republican for some reason.  It's kind of a wild situation

Being friendly =/= endorsing

 

But we already knew that hence why this was posted in base

Wasnt she also the only one that allowed Trump to use her music in his rallies?

They want to believe that cause it gives them yet another reason to have a "gocha" moment with Swifties and her. They hate her no matter what.

[PoisonedIvy]

I can not wait to see the egg on all of your faces when Taylor finally uploads her very thorough, elaborate, and well articulated endorsement of Kamala Harris. In due time, as she has always proven, she will be on the right side of history and have perfectly valid reasons behind her timing.
 

Im sure the goal post will shift again at that point though.

I'm so glad twitter is down in Brazil so I don't have to read her stupid haters. Y'all are dumb and broke

When you see someone at an event who you know, and they come up to say hi with a hug, it's easiest to just be polite and cordial.  This wasn't some huge grand gesture of a decision.  

 

She is also hanging with Amanda Santa:

I really don't understand her. I've always said that as much as I love her as an artist, I just can't get into her as a person, and I stand by that.

 

When she tries to show concern about anything outside her bubble it never comes off as genuine because you can tell her heart is simply not in it, she really does not care about anything that doesn't affect her, and it's sad.

 

I mean, on one hand it's the standard approach of a privileged famous person, what baffles me is that the person she portrays in her music seems distant (a lot more sensitive) from this one we see everyday. 

You don't know the biggest singer in the world loser

[MonsterJohn]

Truly a trash on this planet 

 

And swifties of course have no problem with this since we know what kind of demographic they are

Sis, I know you don't like her but come on.    Can you give any actual, solid reasoning as to her being a Republican?  Even though she's flat out said she's Democrat, voted Democrat in every election we know of, campaigned Democrat, etc.  Is there any unbiased reasoning that outweighs the plethora of Democratic things she's done/said over the years?

The issue about the AI image is the most startling for me. For as quick as other artists took a stand against the unauthorized use of their work, her silence has been glaring. 

 

I also don't necessarily think she's a Trump supporter, but the standard moderate Republican that party used to be full of before Trump took over. I'm not sure if there is any evidence that could be provided that would make me consider her even being a Democrat at this point though. 

[MistressKay]

Yall can't be serious there men play on the same damn team. Was she supposed to give her the cold shoulder?

 

she can hug the woman and still vote democrat lol

I really have to laugh at the implications some of y'all are making here. Taylor Swift politely greets Brittany Mahomes and cameras capture the moment -> all undecided Swiftie voters take that as a sign from Taylor to vote for Trump? Is that what's being argued here?

 

You're allowed some degree of visceral reaction to people who support Trump and his policies as someone who would be adversely affected, but painting it out as if Taylor also subscribes to those beliefs because of a hug is... Is Trumpism contagious now? Does it spread through touch? Brittany is essentially one of Taylor's "work friends", and there's definitely a lot of internal pressure from the NFL team organizations for the partners of players to get along. I definitely have work friends who plan to vote for Trump and who I disagree with, but if I bring in a box of donuts for my colleagues I'm not going to deliberately withhold them from the Trump voters or whatever . Even in this polarized climate there are still social expectations, and publicly meeting the wife of your partner's close colleague who you've met before usually entails a hug 

 

Some of y'all are a step and a half away from arguing "IF YOU SEE A TRUMP SUPPORTER ON THE STREET AND DON'T KNOCK THEM DOWN AND LIGHT THEM ON FIRE, YOU'RE ONE TOO!!!!!" (and I know it's all the non-Americans because those of us actually living here know how impossible it is to avoid Trump supporters ddd)

"Intense" lmfao. Y'all are so funny. 

She was literally crying, flustered, and frustrated at the "Tennessee Christian Values" being paraded around by Republicans. She has tweeted DIRECTLY at Trump about how she disagreed with his ideologies and could not wait to vote him out. She is pro LGBT, pro women's rights, pro diversity, etc etc etc. None of those leftist ideals align with the Republican voter base.

Awww you have so much hope lol. Kinda cute. Even if she does do that it'll be pretty futile. Or maybe she'll just do the cookies again?

[ariananext]

I don't think she's a republican at all, but I do think she doesn't care about politics, social issues and what goes on in the world as much as she tried to convince us a couple years ago. Actually I think on a scale from 0 to 10 she cares 2, which is way too low for her to make changes in her personal life for these kind of things (as she directly addressed in But Daddy I Love Him for Matty).

You made the thread and now you're begging people to stop replying you just because they disagree with you (and are actually showing you proof of you being wrong).

 

And you're going around downvoting every single post disagreeing with you. I'm begging you to leave your house and inhale some fresh air.

[Album Leak]

I really don't care about **** like this but since Swifties would absolutely go after other celebs for hanging out with the wrong people, go ahead girlies, drag her.
