Taylor Swift is the most influential voice in music. Could she be the same in politics?


Taylor Swift is one of the most popular performers of all time -- and now speculation is rampant about whether she'll try to use her pop-star status to influence the 2024 election with a Joe Biden endorsement -- harnessing the power of her millions of Swifties to sway the outcome.

Former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy implied in a post on X that their high-profile romance is a sinister concoction

uproar by the GOP. Especially because she supports Democratic values.

However, I think it is strange that a celebrity can have such an influence on our politics?

Reminds me of our situation here in Texas with Matthew McConaughey. He sent our feelers that he was considering a run for political office last year and the response was very positive. He refused to say whether he would run as a Dem or a Rethug? Didn't seem to matter to folks. Really?
