celeb news The New York Times: Liking Taylor Swift "has divided Americans along partisan lines"

[Feanor]

 

Who Do Voters Really Like? Taylor Swift.

Quote

The pop star Taylor Swift has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris — and is far more popular among Democrats and independents than Republicans.

Quote

Last week, Ms. Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris's bidfor the presidency, following months of speculation, creating a frenzy of news coverage and analysis of her potential impact on the campaign. According to a New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer and Siena College poll, which was conducted Sept. 11 to 16 — after the debate and Ms. Swift's endorsement, which immediately followed — 44 percent of likely voters nationally have favorable views of the star musician, while 34 percent have unfavorable views of her.

 

Quote

The Times has never polled voters about Ms. Swift before, but it appears that her decision has quickly divided Americans along partisan lines. Among Democrats, 70 percent view her favorably, compared with 23 percent of Republicans. Among those with an unfavorable view, of course, is former President Donald J. Trump, who, over the weekend, wrote in a post on Truth Social: "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!"

It's not just her. You'd be hard pressed to find anything that isn't divided among partisan lines in the United States since Trump came down that escalator in 2015.

Seriously? What is wrong with American society?

so those i supported are liking me and the others aren't. truly groundbreaking revelation.

i'm sure that half of the people who say have an unfavorable opinion about her were not streaming her music to begin with. And the other half are still streaming it regardless.

Really? I feel like disliking Katy Perry is one of the only topics that transcends politics, age, race, religion, and gender

[Badgalbriel]

Yep. OTH confirmed to be Trump supporters. They were more afraid of Taylor's endorsement than Trump himself

Ofc the Democrats will like her and the Republicans will hate her because of the endorsement
