Why should i give a shit what a celebrity thinks politically

[BlckJack]

Swift has made a big mistake. By calling herself a cat lady and holding a cat she is drawing a huge amount of attention to migrants eating cats in Ohio and no doubt other places too.

[hunnybearone]

Who cares what Taylor Swift thinks???!

[SleepyUncleSam]

If you vote for Kamala because Taylor Swift told you to, then you shouldn't be able to vote at all

[tripleairgoddess]

if people vote because of her political stance and not their own reasoning, society has a larger problem

[danasixty]

Swift doesn't pay my Bills . No Brag, just Fact .

[sherrygarrett]

I don't give a damn what celebrities think.

[norman_james]

"I think that's problematic for Democrats."
Wishcasting at it's finest.

[teresafigueroahendrickson]

No celebrity can influence me to do anything.

[latiendaca]

In Biden/Harris 4 years, my hot summer electricity bill went from $100 to $400.
Taylor Swift, mind paying it for me???

12 year olds don't vote in most places

[ronnyvonallmen]

What Research did Taylor Review?…What are Kamalas Accomplishments?…

[GirthySanta]

Most of her fans aren’t even old enough to vote.

[Elaine-px]

Who cares what any of these celebrities say. Vote who you think will do the best job for the country.

[rconger]

Why would an entertainer who sings to 17 year old girls about their latest boy-friend breakups be trusted to know anything about who America should vote for?

[rockychickens]

Swift has to do what ever her masters want.

[terriodom]

This is BS who cares? It’s the policies! Close the borders quit taxing Medicare and Social Security, etc. etc..

[Marbles-wg]

It didn't seem to move the needle. I think Swifties were already in the Kamala camp.

[edwhite]

As an Empath, I feel Ms. Swift did this as a business move, political move, NOT what her soul supports.

[nickluther]

Swift has over 280 million followers. Of those 280+ million followers, less than half are in the US. Of those in the US, less than half of that are of voting age. Of those who are of voting age, were already going to vote for Kamala anyways. There is a very, very small number of Swift followers who can be swayed either way. I believe this endorsement does next to nothing to hurt Trump.
