Some Republicans fear Taylor Swift could influence the election for Biden. Here's why.Taylor Swift has some Republicans worried. A young, self-made billionaire, the pop star travels the world, drawing millions to her one-woman concerts at football stadiums, and singlehandedly boosts the economic fortunes of the cities where she plays. She has already shown she can motivate potential voters, and her fan base tends to be younger and more liberal than the United States as a whole. Plus, she has been critical of former President Donald Trump. Some Republicans have speculated that Swift is some sort of Pentagon plant, ginned up by secret liberal forces to swing the 2024 presidential election while also boosting the fortunes of the Kansas City Chiefs, who are headed into the Super Bowl with Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, a tight end. Others suggest her prior support for Democrats and opposition to Republicans is misguided.  www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/02/01/why-republicans-worry-about-taylor-swift/72422975007/

California Governor says Taylor Swift’s influence on US election will be ‘profoundly powerful’ California Governor Gavin Newsom believes that Taylor Swift’s influence will have a profound outcome on the 2024 US presidential election. The Democrat was at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley on Wednesday (27 September) night for the second Republican debate, for which Donald Trump was notably absent. Asked by TMZ how celebrities might impact next year's race, Newsom singled out Swift as someone who “stands tall and unique”. “What she was able to accomplish in getting young people activated to consider that they have a voice and they should have a voice in the next election, I think it’s profoundly powerful.” On National Voter Registration Day (19 September), Swift called upon her army of fans — more than 270 million Instagram followers — to register to vote. “Let’s just say her reputation for being a mastermind is very well-earned,” he commented. www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/taylor-swift-gavin-newson-republican-debate-b2420660.html |

I don't think she will. She backed some guy running for Govenor in Tennessee and he lost in a landslide. I would HOPE the youth of America that is voting is smart enough not to vote one way because a celebrity told them to. Then again Gen Z seems to have the brains of a marble.

Well she had tried to push a bit against Marsha Blackburn in TN and she won so not sure she has some massive political influence. And, I think everyone pretty much knows that 99% of entertainers and celebs vote for Democrats.

I think this is just a made up media driven story. More wishful thinking on their part. Swift is obviously very popular. I do not think she is going to go out and campaign massively for Democrats. That isn't her style and she's not greatly political . She's more of an entertainer like Dolly Parton. Dolly is also a liberal Democrat but she doesn't preach at her fans. She loves all her fans and thinks her job is to put on a great show. But, of course, the forces are always trying to enlist powerful people if they can.

Anyone who cares what a 'celebrity' says enough to change their vote is an idiot.

She is rich and the rich are doing very well under Biden. However I wonder is she really likes Biden or just plays along in order to keep her job. Just think how she would be attacked if she came out in favor of Trump, her billion dollar contracts will in jeopardy. Her shows would be canceled and the like. She's a billionaire now.

If she says something it's HER opinion and no one else's. She's also not one of those air head music stars, she has brains, is quick witted and knowledgeable. |

I like Taylor, mainly because of her personality, but I wish she'd get out of politics.
It will be funny watching Biden trying to sniff on her.

That's one problem-- too many- if not all- those famous Hollywood types and Hollywood elites and singers have all gone political, and I question what would happen if a famous person came out for Trump, would they lose their lively hood, would their contracts suddenly be canceled and they won't be able to do any more movies or concerts? I guess it's called "Black Listed" and they won't be able to get work anymore. Miss Swift is darn cute and a billionaire so if she came out for Trump would that be career ending for her? To keep her career going and the money flowing she just has to say that she's for Biden. The weak & the frail. Just something to think about. The whole rich Hollywood culture is very liberal. |

Taylor Swift has to go along with the flow or she'll end up 'black-listed' by the elite establishment and her billion dollar career will be over, no one will sign her up to do anything if she came out in favor of Trump. I noticed she does not seem to like Biden he's old, weak & frail, she does not seem very excited about endorsing Biden either.
Miss. Swift needs to be careful if she gets serious about Travis he's a very violent guy it was mentioned on the Mark Kaye radio show by a caller that a fan asked Miss. Swift for her autograph and Travis decked him.
I'm worried that Taylor Swift may end up with a life style such as Niccole Simpson, and O.J being very possessive, OJ who though he was the greatest kinda like Travis who thinks he's the greatest.
Taylor Swift could end up in the ER after she has a bad fall on the fist of Travis, I dunno much about Travis but from what I seen and the way he acted in the Super Bowl he's a very hot head who flys off the handle over anything.

I think it's some of her fan base trying to push her to 'speak out' on everything from the election to "palestine", etc. |

I think Taylor and Kelce are both playing the long game with politics. |
