Taylor Swift: Mocked by Pundits, Comedians for Failed Political Endorsement
Taylor Swift shocked most of the free world several weeks ago when she came out of the woods and threw her support behind a pair of Democratic political candidates in Tennessee.
In a heartfelt and lengthy Instagram post, the singer endorsed Jim Cooper for House of Representatives in her native state and Phil Bredesen for Senate.
How did her preferred nominees do? Well…
Cooper defeated Jody Bell by a whopping 35 points in what was clearly a not very competitive race.
But Bredesen failed to help Democrats gain a majority over Republicans in the Senate. He lost by about 14 points to Marsha Blackburn.
Oh well, right?
You can’t win ‘em all and the important thing is that Swift used her platform for something she believes in, prompting an enormous surge in voter registration by doing so.
Nope, sorry. That wasn’t the important thing according to at least one Conservative pundit out there.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham took to Twitter after Bredsen’s failed bid to rub his loss in the face of the pop star, something totally normal and mature for her to do.
“Hey @taylorswift13, haters gonna hate. #shakeitoff,” Ingraham wrote following the election results.
Ingraham has a history of going after young singer, as she previously labeled Ariana Grande as spoiled and entitled.
In this case, however, she wasn’t the only famous person to cite Swift’s endorsement in her summary of the midterm elections.
Stephen Colbert also poked fun at the Tennessee Senator outcome during his live episode of The Late Show.
“I guess Tay-Tay didn’t have that much sway-sway, and Blackburn’s support for the Trump administray-stray eventually outweighed-weigh the president’s support for higher teacher pay-pay at the end of the day-day,” he joked.
He poorly joked, we should add.
After failing to offer her support for Hillary Clinton in 2016, and after remaining silent for years on basically all social issues, Swift took social media followers by surprise exactly one month ago.
“In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now,” she wrote at the outset of her unexpected endorsement at the time.
She continued:
“I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country.
I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG.
“I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.”
What issues did Taylor have with eventual winner Blackburn?
“She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape.
“She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry.
“These are not MY Tennessee values.”
In the end, Swift’s message earned her mockery from Donald Trump and a few others out there.
But we hope she was not dismayed from getting more involved in the future.
She has a very powerful voice. It would be a shame if she chose not to use it.

Blac Chyna Loses Stroller Endorsement Deal Over Six Flags Fight!
It turns out that Blac Chyna’s recent Six Flags throwdown is impacting more than just her reputation and possibly her custody arrangement; it’s hurting her business.
You know how the video shows her allegedly hurling her daughter’s stroller? Well, she had an endorsement deal with that company. Emphasis on had.
That deal has been terminated.
If you’re getting paid to endorse a product, be sure to use it as intended. At least when you’re in public.
TMZ spoke to a representative for Momiie, the stroller company that makes the cute toy stroller that baby Dream Kardashian was riding in during the Six Flags trip.
They’d apparently grown uneasy because of other recent behaviors — including Chyna’s leaked sex tape, which was not her fault but nonetheless might have impacted their brand.
But brawling at an amusement park?
“[We] cannot excuse that sort of reaction and behavior particularly in a family resort around children,” the rep told TMZ.
In particular, Momiie can’t have loved seeing their sponsored celebrity hurling their product as an improvised weapon.
As you may recall — honestly, it’s hard to forget — a series of short videos went viral, showing Blac Chyna engaged in a heated confrontation at Six Flags.
April 1 was Easter Sunday, and Chyna had intended to take her children, Dream and King, on a peaceful trip to a theme park.
Instead, she ended up looking like an April Fool.
The video shows her partially disrobing so that she won’t have any of her expensive clothing holding her back when she, as she presumably intended, threw down.
Her entourage — which included employees as well as her 18-year-old boyfriend — managed to physically hold her back from going after the subject of her fury more than once.
But she definitely managed to hurl that stroller. It’s not a good look.
The Six Flags fight victim has spoken out about the viral incident.
She says that she saw an adorable baby and, not recognizing the baby or knowing who little Dream’s mother was, touched the baby’s cheek.
She had interpreted that the nanny who was pushing the stroller was likely the mother and that she had given permission to touch Dream.
When Chyna learned that a stranger had touched her baby, however, she was reportedly incensed and sought to confront this woman.
The woman says that as this heated confrontation went down, she instinctively slapped Chyna.
As the gifs above show, that did not go over well.
Still, in the photos that Chyna shared from that day, you can see why she had been selected as a celebrity endorser.
Dream is as cute as a button, and seeing King so enamored with his baby sister is enough to warm even the coldest of hearts.
Apparently, Chyna had hoped to eventually launch her own stroller line with Momiie.
It looks like that won’t be happening, either.
However, even though she is no longer the face of these strollers, TMZ reports that Blac Chyna’s headphones endorsement deal remains intact.
In the (hopefully unlikely) event that she’s caught on video trying to, say, strangle someone with with her headphones, that might change.
It’s worth noting that Wendy Williams recently mocked Rob Kardashian over his response to this whole incident.
During all of that, she shared that if she knew anyone who was pregnant, she would buy them that stroller.
Why? Because she noted that it didn’t seem any worse for wear, despite having been flung around as a blunt weapon.
We don’t usually say this about Wendy, but … she has a point.
In fact, we wonder if the real winner of this nasty Six Flags spat might be Momiie. Despite everything, that stroller’s gained a tremendous amount of attention.
But we don’t expect to see Momiie writing Chyna a thank-you note any time soon.

Ivanka Trump: Sued Due to Kellyanne Conway Endorsement!
Remember when Kellyanne Conway abused her power and position by going on Fox News and telling Americans to buy Ivanka Trump’s products?
If your head exploded at the sight of a government official going full-QVC during a policy interview, you have our condolences.
Unfortunately, the rest of us are left to ponder the implications of such an abomination of democracy, and now some modern day John Adamses are taking the matter to court:
Modern Appealing Clothing (okay, so like, John Adams if he worked for that fashion company from Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead) is suing Ivanka over what it calls an “unfair advantage” in the marketplace.
The San Francisco-based retailer says Ivanka’s sales have been boosted by 700% due to her father’s influence as P–sy-Grabber-in-Chief.
(No word on how the company came by those figures.)
Conway’s endorsement came on the heels of Nordstrom’s decision to remove Ivanka’s clothing line from its stores.
The Trump administration (by which we mean Donald’s tweets) has argued that Ivanka’s business interests have actually suffered as a result of her father’s presidency.
However, MAC and the rest of the world is all like, “Nah, bruh.”
While Trump has proven to be an expert at losing money (USFL, we hardly knew ye.), no family has ever been made poorer by the presidency.
Jimmy Carter sold his peanut farm in 1976, but in the decades since, he’s become America’s favorite kindly grandfather, and ironically, he probably has a place reserved in heaven that’s decked out with more gold than Trump Tower.
Okay, almost as much gold.
Trump’s getting the best of both worlds, as he’s become the most powerful man in the world without making good on his promise to divest from his business interests.
Can you imagine being a foreign leader traveling to D.C. and not staying at the Trump Hotel?
You can just forget about a handshake after pulling that stunt, hombre.
The reality is, we’ll probably never know how much the Trump family has enriched itself at the expense of the American people.
If only there were some sort of document that revealed how much individuals and corporations earned in a year, as well as how much they paid in taxes.
Sigh. Maybe someday …
