Will Taylor Swift Support Biden Again?

Will Taylor Swift Support Biden Again? [Washington Scene]. Taylor Swift (34) is currently the most popular star in the United States. There may be an impact from the Super Bowl, the largest sporting event in the United States that ended just yesterday, but the number one and two most searched terms on Snapchat, the social media platform for American teenagers, are Swift and her boyfriend Kelsey ( of the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs).

Swift was also the ‘2023 Person of the Year’ selected by Time, an American current affairs weekly, last year. Of course, there are other celebrities who were selected as ‘Person of the Year’, but this was the first case where a person in the entertainment industry was selected for his or her main job. He recently won the Grammy Award for ‘Album of the Year’, setting a new record in that category. He is the only singer to have received this award four times. Swift’s Instagram followers reach a whopping 300 million.

According to a poll last month, half of American voters claim to be Swift fans. Support, especially among white young women, is overwhelming. However, with both Democratic and Republican parties mentioning ‘Swift’ in the run-up to this year’s presidential election, his stock price is rising even more. The Democratic Party is sending a ‘love call’ to Swift, while the Republican Party is warning her not to ‘cross the line.’ The Democratic Party’s Biden camp, which is already suffering from aging risks and stagnant approval ratings, is placing high expectations.

This is because in the last presidential election, Swift criticized then-President Trump for “igniting the fire of white supremacy and racism” and declared support for Biden. As the situation progressed, Trump’s passionate supporters in the Republican Party even came up with a ‘conspiracy theory’.

The contents are as follows. Swift is actually a secret agent for the U.S. Department of Defense, and Kelsey is also a fake boyfriend created to support the Democratic Party in the future. The fact that Kelsey’s Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl was also manipulated in advance, and that the couple would declare their support for Biden after winning the Super Bowl.

At first glance, it fits the bill and is appealing, but no matter how much you think about it, the idea that a specific team was able to win the Super Bowl, which is difficult to achieve once in a lifetime, is close to speculation.

Former President Trump also joined. On the 12th, when the Super Bowl was held, he posted on his SNS , “There is no way Swift would support Biden, the worst president in US history.” He also claimed that he was “the man who made Swift a fortune,” citing the Music Modernization Act (which amended copyright laws to allow musicians to earn money from streaming platforms), which he signed into law in 2018. did.

So, Will Swift Support A Specific Candidate In This Presidential Election?

We don’t know the correct answer, but if we look at his past actions, we can leak a similar answer. Swift’s childhood motto was “Be a good person.” So, he said about himself when he grew up, “I’m not a perfect person, but I think I grew up to be the kind of person that people around me, including his parents, expected.”

 This means that he did not take sides and only focused on the music he was good at and liked. It was in 2018, when he was in his late 20s, that he began to speak out about American real politics. At the time, he launched a campaign to lose the Republican Senate candidate Blackburn, who was running in his home state of Tennessee, because she was a woman and opposed the re-approval of gender equal pay and the Violence Against Women Act.

Despite the concerns around her, Swift declared, “Personally, it was painful to remain silent during the 2016 election when President Trump was elected,” and “I will do what I have to do this time.”

Swift’s acquaintances, including her father, and those in the recording industry were concerned about ‘repercussions’, but they could not break Swift’s will. This was partly because Swift started his campaign to be unelected rather late, and because this was a very Republican stronghold, Republican candidate Blackburn won the 2018 Senate election.

Pro-Republican media also ridiculed Swift by saying, “Even Swift’s actions didn’t do much good,” and said, “They could become the next ‘Dixie Chicks.’” At the time, President Trump said of Swift’s campaign to be rejected as a Republican candidate, “I am a fan who liked Swift.” He also said, “I will remove 25% of the deliberations.”

If there are people who still talk about the ‘Dixie Chicks’, I vote that Swift, who herself says that this is the golden age, has no reason to enter the political field at this point. In 2003,

When the Iraq War was in full swing, lead singer Natalie Maines of the popular female three-member country band ‘Dixie Chicks’ from Texas said during a performance in London, “It’s a shame that the President of the United States (President Bush, the son of a Republican) came from Texas. It sparked controversy by saying,

“I hate it.” Afterward, the Dixie Chicks received death threats, and country music radio stations in the United States even boycotted their songs. Some people may mention Time magazine. Time magazine named the ‘2023 Person of the Year’ This is because, when selecting Swift, he said, “Taylor Swift is the last monoculture left in a divided world.” It contains the hope that she will not jump into the political arena, which is already overflowing with hatred, division, and scheming.

But it is clear. There are also different opinions. They talk about  ‘Only The Young.’ As mentioned earlier, despite Swift’s campaign to be unelected in 2018, the Tennessee Senate race ended in Republican Blackburn’s victory. Swift was somewhat disappointed, but there it was. Instead, Swift released a song called ‘Only The Young’ and delivered the message, “Only young people can change the world of the future.”
