Thanks to Donald Trump the United States of America is now the upside down. We lost Kanye West, but it looks like Democrats have gained an ally in white America’s darling Taylor Swift.
Look what they made her do.
Usually very apolitical, the mega pop star has thrown her name in the hat in the political circus and announced in a passionate Instagram post that she is voting for Tennessee Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections and spoke out against systemic racism. The announcement of who she is going to cast her vote for follows the abysmal decision to appoint lying, beer-loving Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
Right on cue, the white conservative tears began to flow, and the backlash ensued as they saw Swift whom they considered their white privilege queen, side with the “enemy.” Now we won’t be inviting Taylor to BBQ yet, but she is definitely taking a step in the right direction. Will her Swifter’s follow her lead to voting booths across the country? That is the million dollar question.
This is definitely the first Taylor Swift song we liked ever. To see the reaction to Swift’s decision both negative and positive hit the gallery below.

Taylor Swift cares more about black people than Kanye West and now I need to lay down because I got a headache just from tweeting that.
A big shout out to @taylorswift13. for speaking out. You can single handedly change this country. Impress on your fans how critical and powerful their voices are. If you get them to the polls on Nov.6, everything you care about will be protected. #VOTE
Did you read her post? She backed up her statement with facts. Based on her voting record, she IS voting against women. And you trying to tell a woman her opinion or how she should vote is exactly how we got here. Only weak and insecure men are threatened by strong women.
The funny thing is: Taylor Swift is the celebrity whose endorsement Republicans / conservatives probably coveted more than any other. If she had backed their candidate, Charlie Kirk would be trying to set up photo-ops, Trump would be tweeting about it, it'd be all over Fox
read it/weep, ya old saltines. artists like @taylorswift13 & hell, even my band... we’ve all worked hard to build community using our music & our voices since we were 16. many ppl who support us grew up WITH us.
WaPo pointyhead thinks braying millenial mobs--menacing old people, threatening to kill cops, gloating about terrorizing GOP families, and hounding conservative campus speakers--will turn to anodyne pop tart Taylor Swift to lead the midterm election charge.
So, over the weekend Taylor Swift announced that she doesn’t support women and endorsed a rich old white privileged man who supported the Kavanaugh SCOTUS confirmation instead? Weird and extremely tone deaf. #irony Please don’t shave your head next 🙏 #twilightzone 🤷🏽♀️
Fox & Friends don't think @taylorswift13 could have written her Instagram post about voting on her own. [She's just a female, after all.] They advise Taylor Swift to "stay away from politics," expressing preference for Kanye West. Self-explanatory, no?https://t.co/kofc2rLfPT
