Glad she's supporting kamala and using her influence, but that being said the celebrity worship nonsense is silly. Not breaking news.

Yeah, the fact that I keep seeing this as breaking, or important, news makes me want to break into a broadcast center and pull a "The Network".
Dear Trump
We, are never ever ever, getting back together.
Sincerely, The White House
Some folks here really seem to think that her fans don't have any political opinions without her. This is actually as much about her politically engaged fan base wanting her to use her platform for good, than it is about swaying people who might be very young or unsure about voting.
Lots of swifties are millenials who lean left and liberal and some have criticized her in the past for not speaking up or for leaving her views ambiguous in a way that left room for the right to coopt her image. This is not about silly pop fans needing to be told what to think. People aren't ignorant. It's exactly because she's powerful and very wealthy, that it's important for her to use her power to be very clear about where she stands. Especially in light of the ai thing and the Brittany Mahomes weirdness.
and some have criticized her in the past for not speaking up or for leaving her views ambiguous in a way that left room for the right to coopt her image.
This seems important to her, especially considering her timing – she mentioned that the right has been circulating deep fakes of her falsely claiming she endorsed trump.
obviously a lot of them are engaged, but the US is famously bad at actually voting, so this might make a significant difference in who votes.
