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.

Karlie Kloss Marries Josh Kushner! (And Gets Snubbed by Taylor Swift?)
Karlie Kloss is a married woman.
But is she also a scorned friend?
The 26-year-old supermodel exchanged vows this week with her 33-year-old businessman boyfriend, Joshua Kushner, sharing a photo from the couple’s special day on social media.
“10.18.2018,” she wrote as a very simple caption to the above image on Instagram.
A represenative for the stars has confirmed to People Magazine that Kloss and Kushner held a small, Jewish ceremony in upstate New York on Thursday, with fewer than 80 people in attendance.
(They will also host a larger celebration for friends and loved ones some time this spring.)
The Project Runway host donned a custom Dior gown for the ceremony and was “beaming with happiness,” claims a friend who was in attendance.
But this friend was NOT Taylor Swift.
Swift was not at her close friend’s wedding, raising many questions among fans who have been wondering if these two are still close.
Kloss’ new husband, it ought to be noted, is the brother of Jared Kushner.
Jared Kushner is married to Ivanka Trump, who is the daughter of President Donald Trump.
President Donald Trump is an evil, mentally imbalanced human being who is feuding with Swift due to the latter’s endorsement of two Democratic candidates in Tennessee.
So, it’s only natural to wonder whether Kloss’ connection to the Kushner family has caused a rift in her friendship with Swift.
Heck, maybe Swift was afraid a member of the Trump family would actually be in attendance at the ceremony.
It turns out that Taylor was simply in Australia on Thursday, as she noted herself on Instagram.
This trip was likely planned for several weeks, if not months, in advance, but we still can’t help but speculate over why she couldn’t cancel the visit in order to attend Kloss’ wedding.
Something does seem to be amiss here.
Kushner proposed back in July with a high-carat cushion cut diamond in a platinum solitaire setting with a diamond pavé band.
As you can see above, Kloss was not shy about showing the rock off at the time.
But she also said some nice things about Kushner, focusing on who he is as a person more than just the diamond he could afford to get for her.
“I love you more than I have words to express,” Karlie wrote this summer as a caption to the picture immediately above.
She added:
“Josh, you’re my best friend and my soulmate. I can’t wait for forever together. Yes a million times over.”
In September, Kloss opened up about her engagement a bit more, telling Vogue:
“The proposal was romantic and sweet. We spent the weekend in upstate New York, just the two of us.”
Congratulations to the newlyweds!
But not to Karlie’s new brother-in-law.
That guy sucks so very much.

Taylor Swift Sends New Message About Voting, Prepares to Be Killed by Republicans
There may now be bad blood between Taylor Swift and many Republicans, but the singer knew there would be trouble as soon as she posted to Instagram last week.
Nevertheless, she came out of the non-political woods and sent a message to young voters who think that a change in the direction of the country can only happen in their wildest dreams.
Yes, she received backlash.
But Swift has clearly shaken it off and is now prepared to receive any more.
This is all a long-winded way of saying that the artist shared two new photos on Instagram today, along with a very important caption affixed to each.
“Something I wish I knew about when I was 18 and voting for the first time: EARLY VOTING,” Swift wrote along the images above and below.
She added:
“It makes it so quick and easy to go and cast your vote before November 6. Early voting starts TODAY in Tennessee and goes to Nov 1.”
Taylor even included with these words a link to a Vote.org page that offers information on early voting across the country.
Swift, of course, remained notoriously quiet about her political affiliations and preferences during the 2016 Presidential Election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
She came under an unusual amount of fire for this indecision as well.
Apparently inspired to put an end to the misogyny/insanity/racism/total and complete chaos under the Donald Trump administration, however, Wfit stunned the world several days ago when she posted an endorsement of two Democrats in Tennessee on her social media page.
This is what Swift wrote at the time:
I’m writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which I’ll be voting in the state of Tennessee.
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.
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
I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love. Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn.
As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me.
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. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives.
Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values.
For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway
In response to Taylor’s unexpected foray into the world of politics, thousands and thousands of people registered to vote.
Despite endlessly promoting and bragging about Kanye West’s love of President Trump, however, Republicans for some reason decided to slam Swift for expressing her view.
They dismissed her as an out-of-touch and ignorant musician who is rich and famous and who therefore cannot relate to the common voter in any way, shape or form.
This is what Trump himself said about the pop star:
But Swift appears to be undeterred.
As she accepted the artist of the year trophy at the American Music Awards last week, Swift again reminded her fans to vote.
“I just wanna say to the fans … you have been so nice to me and fun, and you’re so funny and you’re so cool and so loyal,” she said om stage, adding:
“Every time that you have made me lucky enough to ever get to stand on a stage and have something really sparkly in my hands … it means something different.
“This time, I just want you to know it means encouragement … for me to be better, work harder and to make you guys proud as much as I possibly can.
“This award and every single award given out tonight were voted on by the people, and you know what else is voted on by the people is the midterm elections on Nov. 6.
“Get out and vote. I love you guys!

Taylor Swift Returns! See Her First TV Performance in 3 Years!
In a powerful and candid Instagram post this week, Taylor Swift urged citizens to take action next month and vote in the midterm elections.
Not long afterwards, the singer took an action herself that she had not taken in three years:
She performed on stage at an awards show.
Indeed, Swift opened the 2018 American Music Awards on Tuesday night with a rendition of "I Did Something Bad," reminding viewers everywhere that she deserves the honor she would later win at the ceremony.
(Swift was named Artist of the Year and, in the process, became the most decorated female artist in American Music Awards history.)
The 28-year-old pop sensation donned a sparkly long-sleeve leotard with over-the-knee leather black boots for her wildly-anticipated performance.
She also brought the drama with smoke and a giant snake (!!!!!!!) – which has been her Reputation tour logo and which has been a response to being called a snake years ago by Kim Kardashian – behind her on stage.
It was clear those in attendance were psyched to have Swift back in their lives.
"They’re burning all the witches, even if you aren’t one/They got their pitchforks and proof,” Swift sings in the featured track.
Having received some criticism from Republicans for not supporting any of their candidates in her aforementioned social media message, Swift did not back down at the AMAs.
In her Artist of the Year acceptance speech, she didn"t take any side… but she did remain political.
“Thank you so much for this," she said on stage, adding:
"And I just wanted to make a mention of the fact that this award, and every single award given out tonight, were voted on by the people. And you know what else is voted on by the people?
"The midterm elections on 6 November. Get out and vote – I love you guys.”
And we love you, Taylor.
We hope this was not a temporary return to the spotlight.
Check out her performance now!

Donald Trump on Taylor Swift: Her Music Sucks!
Years ago, Taylor Swift released an album titled "Red."
Nevertheless, this beloved solo artist stunned the universe this week when she made her political opinion known for the first time in her professional life, revealing herself to be…
… a democrat!
Or at least to be supporting a pair of democrats in her home state of Tennessee: Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives.
Cooper is running against Marsha Blackburn, who Swift wrote on Instagram has a voting record in Congress that "appalls and terrifies me," explaining thusly:
"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."
Asked about these comments on the White House lawn on Monday afternoon, President Trump said, sort of humorously:
“Let’s say that I like Taylor’s music about 25 percent less now."
He added more specifically:
"Marsha Blackburn is doing a very good job in Tennessee. She’s leading now substantially which she should.
"She’s a tremendous woman. I’m sure Taylor Swift doesn’t know anything about her."
Swift actually outlined her take in a very detailed, calm and fair manner.
But she"s been pilloried by republicans nevertheless, of course.
They apparently think Kanye West is a well-educated political guru who should be listened to and respected when it comes to his opinion…
… but Swift is a vapid moron whose viewpoint she be scoffed at, naturally.
“So @taylorswift13 has every right to be political but it won’t impact election unless we allow 13 yr old girls to vote,” Mike Huckabee tweeted for instance. “Still with #MarshaBlackburn.”
Okay, but — who wants to do the math for the former Governor and explain to him how old Taylor Swift fans who started following her after the release of her first album in 2006 are now?

President Trump Fires Back at Taylor Swift, Likes Her Music "25 Percent Less Now"
It’s official … President Trump’s got “Bad Blood” with Taylor Swift … ‘cause he just took a shot at her, responding to her diss of a Republican Congresswoman. Trump was on the South Lawn Monday afternoon when he was asked about…
Taylor Swift Stuns the World, Endorses Two Democrats in Tennessee
She’s sorry, but the old Taylor Swift can’t come to the phone right now.
Why?
Because she’s busy knocking on doors and canvassing neighborhoods in Tennessee to make sure everyone is informed and registered to vote in the 2018 midterm elections.
Indeed, the singer has broken from an often-criticized tradition and done more than merely dip a toe in political waters.
She’s gone right ahead and jumped in with two feet.
On Sunday evening, the beloved solo artist shared the photo above, along with a lengthy Instagram message that endorsed a pair of candidates in the November 6 election for various important offices.
“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,” Swift said to open her statement.
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.”
In the eyes of many critics, Swift had come under fire many times in the past for never using her famous platform for the greatest good.
While fellow superstars such as Beyonce had not only backed certain candidates, but given speeches and performances on their behalf, Swift had remained out of the political arena entirely.
Some were especially appalled by this decision in 2016 when there was such a clear choice between a candidate who supported women’s rights (Hillary Clinton) and, well… Donald Trump.
“I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent,” Taylor added in this new message.
“I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love.”
Why is Swift speaking out now?
Likely because Republican senators just confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court — despite one notable accusation of sexual assault against him, along with pretty clear temperment concerns.
Perhaps with this in mind, Swift went on to specifically throw her support behind two candidates from her home state.
“Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn.
“Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me.
“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 races that appear rather close and which could legitimately impact the country, Swift therefore announced the candidates who have her backing:
“I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives.
“Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway.”
As you might expect, taking a partisan side has elicited mixed reactions on Twitter.
A handful of users are for the move:
Others have scoffed at the move:
(Editor’s Note: Since Kanye supposedly “ended” Swift by interrupting her speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, the two highest-grossing tours in the world belong to… Taylor Swift.)
This, of course, is the danger of getting involved in politics: you may engender some serious opposition.
But Swift must think it is worth the fight and the criticism in order to speak her mind and espouse her values.
This is how Swift concluded her unexpected post:
So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do.
October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting!
We wish the very same to you, Taylor.

Joe Alwyn FINALLY Opens Up About Dating Taylor Swift
There was a time when the idea of Taylor Swift stepping away from the spotlight in favor of a more pedestrian existence would have seemed absurd.
Following the release of her 1989 album, Swift was one of the most visible people on the planet, and the adoration from her legion of fans seemed to be mutual.
In those days, it seemed impossible to imagine Swift living a more low-profile existence.
Even if she had wanted to, the idea that the singer would be able to evade the prying eyes of the social media hordes seemed unfathomable.
But somehow, Taylor Swift has managed to execute the world’s most unlikely disappearing act in recent months.
In fact, Taylor’s love life — once a subject of rampant tabloid scrutiny — has been something of an enigma as of late.
We know that Taylor is dating Joe Alwyn, but prior to this week, neither party had spoken publicly about the relationship.
The London-based actor recently gave an interview with British Vogue in which he finally acknowledged that he’s dating Swift.
But if you were hoping for a slew of details about the ups and downs of life with Taylor, you may be sorely disappointed.
Alas, it seems Alwyn is just as keen as Swift on the idea of keeping their romance on the DL:
“I’m aware people want to know about that side of things,” Joe said when asked about Taylor.
“I think we have been successfully very private and that has now sunk in for people … but I really prefer to talk about work.”
Joe’s cryptic comments seem to confirm a longstanding rumor about the couple — namely, that he doesn’t want his private life to distract from his career.
Though he’s certainly not as a big a name as Taylor, Joe has been receiving a lot of attention for his film work in recent months.
While dating Taylor doesn’t seem to have harmed any of her ex’s careers, it makes sense that Joe would prefer to focus attention on his work and not his love life.
As for Taylor, she has ample reason to keep this relationship as private as possible.
After all, the opposite approach has backfired on her on numerous occasions.
So for now, Taylor and Joe are both attempting to keep this thing as quiet as possible.
That said, if they break up, you can be sure Taylor will be quick to deliver a few dozen scathing breakup ballads.

Taylor Swift Stalker Yearned to Rape, Murder the Singer
WARNING: The following content is graphic in nature.
We’re not talking about a graphic photo or graphic video or any sort of image that may haunt your dreams.
We’re talking about the mere summation of what one man says he wants to do to Taylor Swift.
It’s truly horrifying.
According to TMZ, Swift has been dealing with a stalker for the past two years or so.
His name is Eric Swarbick. He is 26 years old. And he’s been sending letters to the musical superstar since September of 2016.
According to legal documented filed by Swift’s legal team, the message have become increasingly alarming over the past few months.
They have caused the artist immense levels of stress, fear, concern and anxiety.
Taylor is worried that Swarbrick will make good on his threats — and it’s very easy to understand why, once you read the content of these letters.
We’ve published excerpts below and, once again, want to warn readers that this is disgusting stuff.
I want to rape Taylor Swift. This is why I hate Taylor herself … This is how I know I am Taylor’s soulmate, reads one passage.
I have learned to absolutely repress the metaphorical monster in me, but, very soon, I will become completely responsible for myself …
What logical conclusion is there other than death, reads another.
I will not hesitate to kill her … and there’s nothing you, your lawyers, or the law will be about to do about it. Remember who I am, reads another.
We truly can’t imagine what it must have been like for Swift to receive these letters, can you?
In response to the barrage of ugliness, a judge ordered Swarbrick this week to stop contacting Swift immediately,; he’s not allowed to go near her or her property, either.
No matter what anyone thinks of Taylor Swift, you must be a truly evil individual to think she deserves anything such as this.
Moreover, it’s not the first time the singer has had to deal with a crazed fan.
Swift recently won a five-year restraining order against a man who was arrested for trying to enter her home in Los Angeles, armed with a knife.
In April, Julius Sandrock was arrested and charged with felony stalking after he was spotted at the singer’s estate… wearing a mask and rubber gloves while carrying a rope, knife and live ammunition.
Swift was granted a five-year long restraining order against him.
Taylor was not at home at the time (thank goodness), but the incident left her in “extreme distress” and made her fear for her “personal safety,” according to court papers.
ALSO earlier this year, a 23-year-old named Justin Christoph Lilly was arrested for attempting to scale a wall outside Swift’s residence.
He was sentenced to three days in jail and a year of summary probation, on the condition that he stays away from Swift’s home.
If this is the price of global fan, one has to wonder if it’s even worth it.
Hang in there, Taylor.
