Has she said or done anything? Or are they just afraid she might?
She's endorsed Democrats in past years and encouraged people to vote. They're mostly afraid that she will actually endorse Biden this year, even though she hasn't actually done anything.
Can't we just spam everyone with the video saying she doesn't support trump?
I feel like not supporting Trump shouldn’t count as a political statement. Like saying “I don’t want to sexually assault people”. It’s just basic decency.
There isn't enough basic decency to go around these days.
She baked a blue cookie one time or some shit.
Generally, she just encourages her fans to vote, and Republicans know young women don't want anything to with them. They really just want to make it so uncomfortable for Swift to say anything, so they're bringing a preemptive firestorm and hoping she keeps her head down this election season.
I saw a video of her speaking to her parents during a Brian Taylor Cohen video :

So I don't know much about her generally, other than she is famous in her own right for her art and business savvy. So my opinion about her has long been uninformed neutral.
But what I see in that video gives me a respect for her that otherwise I wouldn't have. She knows how important a vote is, she is self reflective, she stands up for herself and her own choices, she is obviously informed on issues, and she is compassionate towards others. These things are a good measure of a person.
Truth. Couldn't tell you 3 of her songs, know she is a genuine human just from watching her express her feelings in that clip.
