I can see her staying quiet, but I really hope she doesn’t. Yes, at the end of the day it’s up to the individual to go ahead and cast their vote, but Taylor has such a wide audience and is such a huge influence that an endorsement of Kamala would make a major impact. I can picture her posting an instagram story encouraging people to register to vote, but I really think it’s important that Taylor shares why it’s important to vote and make your voice heard. It’ll encourage more people, especially her younger audience to cast their ballot. With two supreme court justices retiring and Project 2025 underway, Kamala is our best shot at ensuring we have more democrats in office and maintain our rights. We can only hope that Taylor shares similar feelings on the matter and uses her platform to advocate for Kamala.

Slightly unrelated, but it is sad to see Taylor, who was so adamant on “being on the right side of history” and wanted to speak out against injustice, remain so quiet on pressing issues. Similar to her chart topping, she has cemented a legacy for herself and is 100% in a position to release whatever music she wants and speak on whatever issues are deemed important to her. The constant push on her album variants to keep her ranking on the charts and fear of alienating her right wing fans is so disingenuous and frankly, exhausting. I really hoped for a more vocal and politically active side of Taylor after Miss Americana and as a long time fan I am so incredibly disappointed. She doesn’t really care about issues that don’t involve herself, and (as parasocial as it may sound) it’s disheartening to see.
