The following is an excerpt from the above video:
In 2020, [Taylor Swift] endorsed Biden and Harris, and shortly after Biden stepped aside, the Swifties for Harris group was formed and now has upwards of 60,000 followers on X. She has also vocally embraced advocacy for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), social justice — her music videos, her speeches, her social media posts, they address issues including gender discrimination, LGBTQ rights and racial injustice.
And it’s more than that. Taylor Swift’s evolution from a neutral public figure to a vocal political activist highlights her influence not only in music but in mobilizing young voters and advocating for social justice. Her transformation these past few years underscores how celebrities can leverage their platforms for greater societal impact and inspire their fans to become more politically engaged.
Donald — JD, I’ll include you here too — Taylor Swift is the ultimate childless cat lady, and I mean that in the very most complimentary of ways. She will never, ever be into you. Like, ever.
