Travis was paid a huge sum for being a vax shill. One can only hope like hell that he got not only THE shot but the boosters too. Then we'll let karma take its course. I can't diss Swift as I like her music VERY MUCH but she is young and very, very impressionable like we all were at her age, so her politics is ignored by me. She's just going along to get along in the industry that built her.

Not young enough for "yourh" to be an excuse for her low information decision-making. She is 34 years old. Will be 35 in December -- the minimum age to serve as President of the U.S. More should be expected of someone at this age.

Don't know, I have followed Swift since her country music days and I'm afraid I still see her as that young thing of 20 years ago. She's changed a lot as she has matured and lost the innocence she used to appear as. But like Michael Jackson who grew up in the entertainment industry, you are definitely effected by the strange people around you and when young you are very impressionable. I don't blame any of the young today for being misled, they are blank slates being written on by anyone but their parents. I remember that age myself.

Yet she feels it is her place to very publicly endorse Kamala while urging her fans to register and vote (however they choose).

She knows exactly how much influence she has and Pfizer knows how many millions they reached by paying Kelce to push the shots. Brilliant marketing, really, if only it weren't so deadly. No doubt he reached his own sports fans, but also millions of Swifters around the world.

Fortunately, her endorsement of Kamala backfired and she lost hundreds of thousands of fans across the various platforms.

#SwiftiesForTrumphas also gained steam.

I am one who believes that the relationship was a set-up to achieve this goal of influencing the fanbase of the most popular entertainer around the world. Many said it from the beginning.

Some good points here. I'm at that age where I can look at the youth around me and see where I was in my late teens and 20's (without the tatoos and green hair). I'm a zillion miles away from where I was then and have something of a kaleidoscope of events to compare to. Each generation thinks its smarter and wiser than the gen. before it...unfortunately, they will realize as they mature, they were wrong, older DOES make you wiser. I can enjoy Swift's music without listening to her music industry environment rhetoric. Thanks for the SwiftiesforTrump info, I didnt know that. Remember the firestorm Jane Fonda got herself into in the 70's? Didnt pay any attention to her then and don't now but I always loved her films....
