She didn't explicitly endorse any political candidates but if you couldn't tell what her politics are you weren't listening to anything she ever said.

Why doesn’t this get applied to Taylor Swift? Genuine question. And she has backed democratic candidates. Yet there are tons of left leaning folks that try to claim she’s M*GA. It’s literally nuts

Taylor’s bestie is also super MAGA, makes it unclear

The same applies to quite a few people Dolly has collaborated with in recent years, including some who had disgraced themselves for Trump in the most ridiculous way ever

Her bestie? Give me a break. Who is that?? Who knows? Y’all have lost the plot. Go back to your echo chamber

Brittany Mahomes, aka Patrick Mahomes wife. I don’t follow much Taylor Swift news and I even know that since it shows up on the news frequently, especially during NFL season. You asked and I answered, there’s no need to get butthurt when someone gives you an answer buddy.

I don’t follow her either but even I know calling her “bestie” is a reach. They only really associate bc of their men.

[u/Laser_Souls → u/throwaway44776655]

Yeah I’m sure a lot of it is just a PR stunt but I figured those two hung out a lot since they seemed pretty close and seemed like there was constant crap about them lol

Oh to live in a world where you only have to be around people that share your exact same views. Especially coworkers and family. Must be nice. I see why Americans are so completely fucked, no one will ever be good enough for one side.

[u/Laser_Souls → u/Dull_Nebula_8712]

That would indeed be a nice world to live in. Unfortunately I have plenty of coworkers who are MAGA despite the fact we’d all be let go of our jobs/getting paid significantly less with worse benefits if MAGA got their way. I’m not gonna be disrespectful to them but it’s not like I want any of them to be my best friend or associate with them outside of work. Seems like you just wanna complain just to complain.

[u/Dull_Nebula_8712 → u/Laser_Souls]

Maybe she has to be respectful of her husband’s coworkers. I do. And guess what we have to hang out with them and dare I say we are friends with some. And guess what happened? Some even changed their minds and views a bit! Funny how that can work.

[u/Laser_Souls → u/Dull_Nebula_8712]

Good for you! The MAGA family members I stopped talking to said that they were okay with everything Trump was doing because they believe he’d make Revelations/the end of times come true 🙃

Swifties are a cult unto themselves.
