Taylor Swift sucks almost as much as the people who like her music.

I don't actually think that but I'd rather see that than all this 'taylor swift fans are the mightiest force in the universe' crap good lord. Causes headaches on account of all the involuntary spastic eye rolling.

Kpop too lol

It's not so much a special capacity of swifties, but that they're probably the only large unified bloc anywhere on the electoral left. I like them because they're a large enough group of progressive liberals to prove that a unified front is absolutely effective

Being fan of a spoiled billionare who charges thousand for a gig and who takes 40 seconds private jets flights to avoid traffic jams is quite right wing and conservative mentality if you ask me

Do you think swift is setting ticket prices and slinging tickets before she hits the stage?

Lmao you want to be taken seriously so badly, but all your (overly-abundant) comments are laughable at best.

They are fully aware and ok with it, trying to defend a billionare won't get you much. There are better and poorer artists who play gigs for free.

For some reason you're applying some moral attachment to something that is purely about the size of the group.

Her endorsement is powerful because of the numbers of people it drove to voter registration, and therefore some significant percentage of them to actually vote. Not because she's awesome, or good, or whatever you're upset about

do you know anything about her or do you hate her because she's Taylor Swift? she actually seems to be an empathetic and good person. i don't listen to her music, but that doesn't stop me from recognizing her values.
