Im so fucking tired of hearing about Taylor Swift. In any capacity whatsoever.

You sound jealous of her success tbh

It's a shame Biden can't make any good policy decisions that might save himself. Good thing the media is here to fully cover his complete incompetence!

Swift has demonstrated her ability to mobilize her overwhelmingly young (Millennial and Gen-Z) fanbase, encouraging them to invest in merchandise, concert tickets and albums. In 2024, she may leverage this influence to guide them to the polls, building on her previous (and sometimes tepid) forays into politics

This was not the first time Swift entered the political arena. In the 2018 midterm elections, she openly endorsed Tennessee Democrats, highlighting her concerns about Republican Marsha Blackburn’s (R-Tenn.) voting record on the issues of equal pay for women and same-sex marriage. Although the endorsement failed to yield a better outcome for Democrats in deep-red Tennessee (Blackburn easily won her Senate race), the landscape for Biden in 2024 appears more favorable, with lower hurdles to overcome nationally than those faced by Tennessee Democrats.

Kevin Monnin, a doctoral fellow at George Mason University, holds a keen interest in politics, education, and Taylor Swift

Why did this guy's father buy him a doctorate? What possible value does writing this nonsensical power of wishes article have? He has a child's fantasy of his favourite celebrity saving the day by reminding people that voting exists. Right after making that wish, he acknowledges that it didn't work for a right-wing democrat last time because there was no fucking reason to pokemon go to the polls.
