And it's ok for something claiming to be a "news source" to be political?

Fox News to Donald Trump: “Get involved in politics!”
Hypocrites.
How much Fox News cost and can she afford it?
She hasn't done or said anything political though? Is it just that she's a vivacious person and the ghouls are thinking "fuck, she's definitely not one of us".
She did endorse the Democrat running for Senate in Tennessee in 2018, so they're not wrong

Hey Fox, I'm not a Taylor Swift fan at all, but I trust her infinitely more than your lying fascist bullshit network.
Have you tried grabbing her by the pussy?
Taylor Swift to Fox News: "Don't get involved in journalism...oh wait"
Don't worry, Fox hasn't engaged in journalism in years.
Let me get this straight, you think that Taylor Swift, one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in the world, is secretly a liberal, who spends her nights fucking an NFL star, and your plan is to intimidate this person?
Good luck.
I read that in Morgan Freeman's voice and didn't even know why until the end.
LOL. Fuck off, Fox. She will do what she wants to do because she's a woman capable of making her own decisions. Not that you would ever understand or appreciate.
Shut up and dribble
They always say this stuff to liberal celebrities, but invite Ted Nugent and other absolute POS conservatives on
I, for one, am keenly interested in Kid Rock's opinion on the role of central banking in a post-pandemic economy. /s

Sonny Bono, Arnold, Glenn Jacobs, Reagan, Trump... I think I'm forgetting some.
Republicans love voting for celebrities when they have the chance.
Charleton Heston, Kelsey Grammar, Scott Baio, Clint Eastwood, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent...
I was limiting it to elected officials.
Fair enough.
You were right with Eastwood.

I mean seriously, she's not qualified like a reality tv con man, to be involved in politics!
Yeah, plus she's actually, like, good at business. Conservatives would prefer the guy who managed to bankrupt a casino.
Who also failed to sell red meat and alcohol to Americans.

For people who hate being told what to do, they sure love telling people what to do.
They love telling women what to do.
They hate women telling others what to do.
Uhg. can you imagine standing in line waiting to vote, with the swifties all having their favorite songs on blast from the phones?
never thought that would be a reason I'd appreciate vote-by-mail.
(I'm mostly kidding... but yeah. not having to stand in line and deal with...uh... people... is nice.)
Vote.gov is your place to sign up to vote.
Thanks. Checked a few days ago. I had been kicked off the roles 10+ years ago, never again.
Make sure you're actually registered, even if you think you already are. A lot of states have been "cleaning up" their voting registries .
well I wasn’t going to, but now that you mention it…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Right-wing activists have indulged in baseless speculation that Ms. Swift’s romance with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — a kind of ur-American couple of football star and wholesome pop icon — is a contrivance engineered by Democrats, or perhaps the National Football League, to trick unsuspecting Americans into boosting Super Bowl ratings or voting for Mr. Biden in November.
Swift flies on a private plane, “yet she constantly talks about climate change.” It was the sort of eco-scolding that rarely turns up on a cable network whose guests often voice skepticism about global warming.
Swift said that Mr. Soros’s son, Alex, helped fund the sale of her song catalog to the producer Scooter Braun.
Another “Hannity” guest, the Fox News contributor Charlie Hurt, told viewers not to dismiss the bizarre conspiracies about Ms.
“Republicans haven’t won the Popular Vote in 20 years so now we’re trying the novel strategy of attacking one of the most beloved pop stars on the planet & … the NFL,” Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump administration official and a co-host of “The View,” wrote on X.
On Brian Kilmeade’s Saturday show, he asked the Fox Sports analyst Jay Glazer about the Swift phenomenon.
