She knows that when she is attending these events she is performing - all cameras are on her and didn't VMAs had like a separate camera just dedicated to her last year despite her not even performing at the event, just attending. So yea, it's very calculated in all aspects.

Picking a side will only open up the floodgates for more hatred and vitriol towards her. Taylor doesn't need to fix anything so I hope she stays quiet on the matter if she feels it's in her best interest to. She shouldn't have to cater to the whims of a few lunatic fans. I'm not worried about Swifties, I'm worried about republicans using her silence for their gain:

This is sooo fucked up, let the woman live her life, people really act like she's not real or something. This completely sums up my thoughts on the issue. This is something that has bothered me for a while with her even aside from just this issue. I love how clever she is and how she gives us crazy complex Easter Eggs, but people acting like every single thing she does is some calculated master plan is a grossly unhealthy standard to hold somebody to. She is human and not everything she does is for the public gaze. For the Trump issue, I have complicated feelings on it. I absolutely despise Trump, and have certainly had moments of feeling like "I don't have time for anybody who supports a bigot like Trump." On the other hand, life is complex and it's not really reasonable to cut out everybody in your life that isn't voting for Kamala. As much as I vehemently oppose the far-right crap Trump supporters believe in, I also don't want to live in a world that's so bitter and divided that we can't even speak to people who don't share our views. That will just make things so much worse imo.

The chronically online/jobless people who are melting down over this "scandal" have never held any meaningful position in the adult professional world where one needs to constantly interact and be cordial with people who have different personal politics and values.

She can obviously do whatever she wants, and Twitter stans desperately need to touch grass, but since we're on the topic: I'm so over the whole "rising above political differences" thing. I have no need for friends who are Trump supporters. It isn't 2016 anymore--anyone who can sit there and support him in 2024 after everything that's happened is a fucking lunatic or just a terrible person. Now, I'm not out here grilling people on their politics lmao (I'm sure I have acquaintances/work friends with whom I don't align at all), but I have to draw the line at vocal support. I have friends with whom I disagree on plenty of things, but I have no time for disagreements on human rights. Agreed. You can disagree on a house design, ways of raising kids (e.g. around phone usage or bed times), a choice in garden design, favourite colour, favourite artist, etc. But I think supporting Trump and not supporting Trump is so much bigger than just a simple difference in opinion, political or otherwise

It's a good thing some of y'all not from the South or it'd be not as simple or as easy as disconnecting from casual friendships. You'd be cutting off your own family, mom, dad etc with that mentality. I am a trans woman who lives in the south and most of my family are Trump supporters, which directly conflicts with my interests obviously.
In my eyes I won't be cutting off family or close friends just because they vote differently than me or may think differently than myself politically. Not everyone believes every topic/area should have the same degree of importance as others depending on their own day-to-day and situation. If they are being directly intrusive, rude, disrespectful, and pushy about their beliefs to where it directly affected my everyday experience, I might be inclined to do so for my own mental health. Otherwise I'm fine with being cordial in that respect and just knowing we feel differently even if I do think they're inherently wrong. At the end of the day we all need to understand that everyone doesn't know nor has experienced what we have to form the opinions we hold. We can't condemn others for not utilizing knowledge or experience they might not even have or understand. As in most cases if they truly knew better, they would do better, and I firmly believe that.

I think there is a big difference from people voting for Trump, and being an extreme-MAGA conservative. There is a political spectrum, it isn't just red vs blue, left vs right, or Conservatives vs Democrats. People can have opinions and views that touch both sides of aisle.
For instance, I don't agree with everything the left is doing right now. However, you need to decide for yourself - what side better aligns with your personal thoughts/fears/hopes.

Anyone who didn’t think she’d endorse Kamala was delusional, lol. It was always going to be strategically timed and she was likely in communication with Kamala’s campaign over it. It was also really smart to phrase her endorsement around people doing their own research and watching the debate to avoid discourse on telling people how to vote.

Well, I was half right about a calculated endorsement. But I was off my a full month.

The Harris/Walz campaign is already selling friendship bracelets and the product description says “are you ready for it?” lol
Harris also played “The Man” as she exited her post-debate speech so…

Glad she posted when she did. In theory, she wanted to know Kamala was the correct candidate for the job. After this debate, there is no doubt that she is.
Proud of Taylor and Benjamin. Hope she gets thousands of young voters to register and vote.

The Harris campaign said Taylor’s endorsement came as a surprise to them so it sounds like they weren’t in communication. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna170547
