There’s some Evil Blood prominent as much as this election.
Taylor Speedy enthusiasts who’re balloting for Trump are being denounced by way of her lefty enthusiasts, who say the singer would “hate” them for his or her political choice.
Jenna Piwowarczyk, the varsity scholar dressed in a Swifties for Trump T-shirt in Trump’s Truth Social post, stated she was once criticized next posting a TikTok video concerning the Swifties for Trump motion, which she is now the face of.
“I got literally thousands of comments telling me Taylor would hate me, telling me I’m a betrayer, I’m a traitor,” she advised The Submit.
“But I also got some backlash from conservatives as well. Because they know Taylor Swift is liberal and a lot of them don’t like the message that she gives to young girls.”
Piwowarczyk, 19, whose TikTok submit were given 216,000 perspectives, stated the Swifties for Trump motion won momentum next Trump’s submit, which garnered 10,100 likes from a few of his 7.63 million fans.
“He posted two pictures of me wearing my Swifties for Trump shirt,” stated the political science primary at Concordia College in Mequon, WI. “My image was once blowing up and this motion began changing into a factor two weeks in the past.
“People come up to me . . . people are calling me, DMing me, telling me, ‘Listen, I love Taylor Swift. I was scared to admit that I might be interested in Republicanism, but you’ve encouraged me to dig deeper into that and I’m going to be voting for Trump.”
She was once contacted by way of the author of the Swifties for Trump X account, who “asked me if I could be the face of the movement because her job won’t allow her to partake in that stuff,” Piwowarczyk defined.
The author of the Swifties for Trump X account, who needed to stay nameless, stated she’s gotten her justifiable share of opinions at the social media maintain, which she created in July and now has 18,800 fans.
“Honestly, they aren’t very creative. Most just tell us that Taylor would hate us or that we shouldn’t be able to call ourselves Swifties if we support Trump. We’re also accused of being bots or buying followers. I assure you neither are true,” she stated.
“We’ve been, jokingly, accused of being @catturd2 [Right-wing X personality Phillip Buchanan] or Barron Trump incognito. Those were my personal favorites.”
Alexis Winters of Whitestone, Queens, stated she’s clear Trump supporters get bashed in Swiftie social media teams by way of anti-Trumpers who ship tirades and behavior in depth investigations.
“It’s crazy,” stated Winters, 24. “They’ll go on rants about it and post whole Twitter threads being like, ‘This person supports Trump because they liked this post back in 2016 about this.’”
Springfield, MO resident Ashley DiFonzo additionally has to place up with judgment from unselfish enthusiasts.
“I’ve had people say, ‘Oh, you’re voting for Trump, how could you be a Swiftie?’” stated DiFonzo, 27.
“I think it’s ridiculous to say just because you’re a fan of blank, you can’t vote for blank. I don’t see that logic.”
Swiftie Melissa Dudley, who lives in Hinesville, GA, has two daughters, “one, a Republican like me, and one, a very liberal Democrat.”
“My daughter who is Swiftie and a Democrat would say if Taylor knew her fans were voting for Trump she would not be happy,” Dudley, 49, stated. “She believes Taylor is so passionate about her political stand that she thinks her fans should vote Democratic.”
Speedy, who hasn’t counseled any presidential candidate this date, made her liberal-leaning resonance heard within the 2020 election, when she spoke out against Trump on X, pronouncing, “After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence?”
DiFonzo stated she was once disillusioned in Speedy’s anti-Trump submit.
“I just think it’s feeding misinformation,” she stated.
Months next, Speedy took to Instagram to mention she was once balloting for Biden.
“I wasn’t surprised, to be honest, a lot of celebrities, they live in their own little world. They’re not the rest of us who have to worry about if we can afford rent or groceries or gas and the implications of who’s president,” DiFonzo stated.
Winters stated Speedy’s political posts prominent as much as the 2020 election was once when she “started to get more turned off towards her.”
“Obviously, I’m still a huge fan of hers . . . but I don’t idolize her in the same way that I used to,” she stated.
“And it’s not even because she tends to be more on the left — I think everyone is entitled to have their own opinion — it’s that she feels that it’s her duty to preach this to her young fans.”
