I would have lost that bet…

why, she endorsed biden in 2020.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Yeah I actually thought she wouldn't ever officially do it unless it was being timed and pre planned to occur just after the debate in order to have maximum impact. Which - I would guess that it was. Not that it's a bad thing.

Anyway I didn't think she would because I'm certain she lost some fans tonight - deciding to step into this race in such a major way. And the cynic in me thought she was more interested in money and wouldn't risk her image. I'm glad I was wrong.

i mean she endorsed biden in 2020, why would kamala be so much different?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago

Wait she did? Wow I have a lot to learn about Taylor Swift. Okay I would have definitely deserved to lose that bet.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

I think she can afford to lose a few fans.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

She endorsed Biden in 2020. There are no fans that didn’t understand her political leanings.

Yeah I actually thought she wouldn’t ever officially do it unless it was being timed and pre planned to occur just after the debate in order to have maximum impact.

After the AI image ordeal she released a statement saying "for the safety of her fans" and being mid-tour she wouldn't release a statement until after he tour ended....which coincidentally was after the election.

Maybe she got some blowback because that would be the coward's way out (publicly denounce the orange turd if he lost, or just make it a minor, non-issue if he won), but also being more concerned with the $$ her tour makes by staying out of it.

I'm glad she nutted up and chose a side in this and has some sway with her non-tween rapid fan base. It certainly won't make me atart listening to her music though.
