Two of them admitted they have been ready to listen to who Taylor endorsed, as a result of they appear to her as an idol and care about her opinion.
Of these 2 explicit Swifties, just one was contemplating voting for Trump, having grown up in a pro-Trump family — however he mentioned Taylor’s endorsement modified his thoughts.
The opposite does not comply with politics, was leaning Kamala … and mentioned they could have voted for Trump if — in some parallel universe — Taylor selected to again him as a substitute.
Two different Tay Tay followers instructed us they have been firmly pro-Kamala, no matter who their idol endorsed.
Nevertheless, 4 followers who establish as Swifties for Trump, made it clear the singer was not going to alter their minds … pledging their continued help for Trump.
One nonetheless loves her, and one other will stay a fan — however, the third instructed us they plan to promote their TS merch. The fourth goes full scorched earth … burning their Taylor vinyl information, T-shirts and songbooks.
It is value nothing 3 of the 4 stay in solidly purple states — FL, TX, and IN — and one lives in blue Washington state.
This Swiftie is not alone of their motion both, as different followers have taken to social media to point out themselves burning their merch and different Swift-centric possessions as effectively.
So, Trump might need had some extent when he mentioned Swift would “pay a price” for her endorsement — although, let’s be clear, the overwhelming majority of her military’s nonetheless standing sturdy.
Actually, past the two outliers … the remaining made it clear they’re nonetheless followers, and weren’t shocked by Taylor’s choice … given her previous endorsement of President Joe Biden, and the liberal viewpoints she shared in her Netflix documentary, “Miss Americana.”
BTW, others we spoke to famous they have been detached about who Taylor endorsed, as they don’t seem to be voting based mostly on their fave singer’s opinion.
Reality is, that is what Taylor inspired followers to do — analysis on their very own, and make the choice that is greatest for them … however, most significantly, make certain to vote.
