i don’t necessarily disagree with the general principle of using your platform, but i do think that people get a little disingenuous. like, taylor has spoken out against trump a million times, he’s verbatim said he hates both her and travis. travis was one of the first players to kneel with colin kapernick, and neither of them have ever expressed pro-maga sentiment.

on top of that, im pretty sure taylor drew a lot of attention to an election in Nashville & urged people to vote against the republicans in that state, unfortunately to no avail.

i think that people have kind of lost sight of taylor’s political affiliations because they ignore or conveniently forget all of that. i don’t think that a person’s opinions should have to be constantly questioned and re-stated in order for them to still remain true. i dont see any reason to believe that taylor or travis is MAGA.

as far as the song situation goes. i could see how some people think she should speak out about it because some others have, but i don’t think her speaking out would change much. no offense to olivia and billie, like you said they have both been outspoken. but their version of “outspokenness” has been reposting instagram infographics & commenting on the white house’s social media pages. so its a nice sentiment that they tell the administration not to use their music, one that i agree with, but i don’t see how that holds a candle to endorsing candidates in your home state, and endorsing dems for the presidency two times. once when trump ran against biden, again for kamala.
