Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I would not want to be on the bad side of Taylor Swift. She holds grudges and puts in the work to obliterate people in her way. She has the money and following to make a real difference.
Do you have examples of this or is it just hyperbole?
Her post has sent over 300k people to vote.gov within 24 hours. Does that work for you?
Not really, that’s not a grudge. I was hoping for example not related to the election.
I thought you were looking for examples of her having lots of following and money, which seemed like a strange thing to have to prove.
For grudges, I think her rule is that she doesn’t hold one, “per se”, and rises above it. I do remember an incident with somebody (want to say Kanye) at an awards show and the way in which I remember her handling it was to let her class and fans speak out for her without having to use her mouth to cut someone down.
The OP claimed she “obliterates” people she holds grudges against. I’d never heard any stories about her like that and still haven’t. Didn’t know if I missed something, I don’t follow career.
I think OP may have meant that she holds grudges against other celebs, i.e. her beef with Katy Perry a few years back. I doubt that extends outside their industry but you never know, I guess.
Dunno. Tried to cover for OP.
The guy who owned the rights to her first six albums was being a bully and asshole to her, so she has been re-recording all of those albums one by one from scratch and telling her fans to buy those instead so he won’t profit off her work. She’s done like 4 already.
