I'll tell you .... ME. I mean some of this stuff really gets overblown .... but heck after being inundated with F^&%K F^%$ #45 for like the last few years every freaking day in the MSM, Social Media etc .... ahhhhh geesh .... she's giving him a run for his money. I just keep 'liking' recommending .... etc ..... any positive post that has to do with her anywhere online. Drown him out Taylor. Kinda refreshing if you look at it that way. Just a thought that crossed my mind today. Later D.U. fight on !!!

(8,893 posts)The Republicans are scared to death of her.
She is extremely strong in the 18-24 YO age group especially women.......
With dog whistle threats on her by Trump and O'Hannity, The security around her should be tripled at least..
She will be going to the Super-bowl game, and the all camera operators will be focusing on her.
A zillion Repubs will be forced to watch the coverage of her. LOL

(30,784 posts)she is a very smart lady. She and her parents have always known how to market her talents. I like her. I don't care about her music one way or the other.
Would I like her if she represented the other side? Nah. But she is too smart for that.

(42,676 posts)Im not sure I could explain why. Maybe I was already too old to appreciate them. But I do like a few of her more recent songs and there is absolutely no denying she has made some very smart decisions about her music and her career.

(101,412 posts)It's the media that is distracting us from Trump, who, let's remember, is a rapist.
Taylor Swift was performing, and living her private life, before the Trump verdict, and it wasn't taking up news space (sure, cameras covering Travis's games would cut to her for reaction. They also cut to fans with outlandish costumes and makeup for reaction. This was not something out of the ordinary). The rush to have opinions on Swift from far right commentators came the moment Trump became too embarrassing for them, and independent media has unfortunately lapped it up. And we're reacting to it too. GD has far more threads about Taylor Swift than about Trump's upcoming civil fraud trial result, or the fake $50 million loan he created, or his harassment of his rape victim, or ...

(10,297 posts)attack machine. I suspect they're afraid of turning off Dolly's conservative christian country fans who vote Republican. RWers are attacking Swift because they are scared to death she will awaken and mobilize young liberal-leaning women who will be registering and voting for the first time in 2024.
muriel_volestrangler
(101,412 posts)If they think that attacking Dolly Parton turns off potential Republican voters, wouldn't they also think that attacking Taylor Swift would encourage her fans to vote Democratic?
My theory seems simpler - they desperately needed something to talk about this weekend other than the law catching up with Trump. Swift and Kelce are celebs, so they get really big news coverage (Parton's famous, but not at the top of her news worthiness). MAGAts love a conspiracy theory that says they're being oppressed, so this is what was needed on RW media to keep the morons moronic.
sop
(10,297 posts)the GOP. Dolly Parton has been speaking out and supporting many liberal causes in recent years. RWers don't like it, but they're afraid of offending Dolly's fans by attacking a beloved country music icon and driving away their base.
The majority of Swift's fans are young women, many of whom will be old enough to vote for the first time in 2024, and will likely follow Taylor's lead. Republicans are always trying to drive down voter turnout among groups likely to support Democrats. They think have nothing to lose by attacking Taylor Swift. I think they're wrong.

(11,640 posts)It is real--not an act. It is so refreshing to see hope, trust, optimism and pride etched in her face and not the shallow emotional effect we have seen too much of.
To read of how she donates so much money to the food banks of the cities that host her, and of how she pays big surprise bonuses to the workers she depends on is wonderful.
I find myself happy to see coverage of her.
May her success cause the scoundrels continued heartburn, discomfort, and envy. They are not worthy--not a one.
