The rest of the comments are jokes. But this is really great news.
Taylor Swift is one of the most influential people on this planet. And she sings Country music—which often has fans that skew conservative.
When “The Dixie Chicks” spoke out against George W. Bush 20 years ago, it tanked their singing career.
Even Dolly Parton takes what happened to the Dixie Chicks as a sign that she has to be politically neutral.
Taylor Swift taking a stance is a huge win.
And she sings Country music
lmao imagine some George Jones boomer listening to 1989
This is a false equivalence. The Dixie Chicks correctly stood against the invasion of Iraq, during a time when Americans were insane and bloodthirsty. (Not that this has changed, but the wound was still fresh so to speak.)
The equivalent stance would be Taylor speaking out about Americas involvement in Gaza and the arming of Israel. By endorsing the Democratic nominee who by all accounts intends to continue letting Israel commit a genocide she is, in fact, doing the exact opposite of what you are suggesting.
The Dixie Chicks bucked the status quo, Taylor is endorsing it.
I thought it meant “Dixie Chicks took a stance and their careers tanked” ergo “Tay Tay taking a stance will tank her career”, thus “good for the environment if she’s no longer taking 16 private jet trips a week”
then I saw the .ee
And she sings Country music—which often has fans that skew conservative.

Whom among us can forget such nasally-crooned blue collar odes to bitter divorce, dearly departed dogs, and broken down pickup trucks such as *checks notes* “Shake it Off” or “Blank Space”
Look right, I think this is a superb bit. It’s hilarious that anyone would see this as anything other than a sign we’re in hell, and lots of people have fallen for the bait, masterful play. You might wanna let people know it’s a bit so everyone can congratulate your comedic genius, don’t get too committed.
