Swift, 34, signed her post "Childless Cat Lady"

Well played, Tay Tay, well played.

Wow, Trump is having a really bad day.

It’s delightful.

So of course Musk immediately threatens to “give her a child”. Like a normal not weird person.

And its Joever.

Was honestly never any doubt Taylor would support Kamala. She is pretty publicly Liberal with a capital L and tends to care about things like autonomy for women and all those crazy things. She probably would have stayed quiet for ticket sales but then the trump campaign deep faked her and...

Said it before and I'll say it again. If you have to fuck with a frothing at the mouth fandom? Go after k-pop before you go after T-swizzle.

Look, I am not a billionaire loving guy anymore than some of you are.

But has anyone here considered that Musk has made an impact on the views of young white men (whom also happen to be Republican and Conservative or Proud Boys?

Does it bother us that these men follow a billionaire who doesn't give two shits about them? Yes.

Do I care that Taylor Swift is the opposite of that and encourages young women and men, be it black, gay, trans, etc to be opposite end of that spectrum. Fuck yes, we shouldn't base our views off the rich but has it ever occurred to anyone here that it is using those billionairs to represent and have them be vocal with the power they hold with our views instead?

I will absolutely take Taylor Swift speaking up and saying what she believes in and her giving that voice to 100000+ people whose only voice is heard in a vote if her speaking up also encourages people to say fuck Trump and and Musk and every fucking dumb ass on this post that thinks Taylor speaking out is a bad thing by comparison to it somehow being worse then what they already do with Musk.

Fuckem, fuck billionaires, but God damn keep fucking roasting them TSwiftie.

Couldn't give two shits about all these Pop Star positions. I do delight in this specific one because Trump's campaign fucked with her, and drew a line in the sand with regard to Generative AI bullshit in a campaign.

They deserve all the negative press that comes from this, and much more. I don't care for Taylor Swift, but I like this move.

I love the focus on the 'childless cat lady' line.

I think that line epitomises the pointless spite that characterises MAGAism. The constant bullying and insults are entirely unnecessary to their agenda but they just can't stop themselves, and if we end up post-November with them wondering how things might have gone had they not insulted tons of voters this way then I'll find that delicious.

I suppose the counterpoint is that the insults and bullying might well be necessary, that their 'othering' and painting opponents as lesser, more ridiculous, less human enemies is a core part of how such populist fascist movements gain traction. "The cruelty is the point," as some say.

Her statement was impeccable. She mentioned the AI generated fake image which appeared three weeks ago. This is the response that had to be made by her. She signed it Childless Cat Lady. Perfect.

Now the Biden administration needs to follow through and declare election day a federal holiday.

Some folks here really seem to think that her fans don't have any political opinions without her. This is actually as much about her politically engaged fan base wanting her to use her platform for good, than it is about swaying people who might be very young or unsure about voting.

Lots of swifties are millenials who lean left and liberal and some have criticized her in the past for not speaking up or for leaving her views ambiguous in a way that left room for the right to coopt her image. This is not about silly pop fans needing to be told what to think. People aren't ignorant. It's exactly because she's powerful and very wealthy, that it's important for her to use her power to be very clear about where she stands. Especially in light of the ai thing and the Brittany Mahomes weirdness.

If Taylor Swift spearheads voter registration drives in swing states and Pennsylvania specifically, the race could be over.

Perfect. Now she'll do a voter registration drive.

Also if you've been sitting on a donation for Harris between now and the next 24 hours will give Harris another big news cycle bump.

Dear Trump

We, are never ever ever, getting back together.

Sincerely, The White House

Can't wait for Trump's reaction. I guess the pictures of support for him were fake, huh?

Been waiting for this since Trump decided to attack her and her fanbase, and misuse her image without her permission.

Go on, you MAGA idiots, start shouting at Taylor Swift. I dare you.

Why on earth would he poke that bear?

Taylor Swift absolutely can drive voter registrations at levels that would easily supersede the 10-20k that swing states will be decided by, just based on her word. And her fanbase spreads across multiple demographics.

I'd be shocked if her announcement alone doesn't drive 100k registrations nationwide in the next 48 hours.

Instead of posting a screenshot and a link, they posted a broken Instagram embed instead. Come on.
