The old mantra of ‘never discuss religion or politics’ is still pretty relevant in 2024. The reason being that it often leads to awkward social situations, and in the worst-case scenario, takes a toll on friendships and relationships. But that has not been the case with Taylor Swift. Despite having her leanings toward the left wing, Swift is best friends with Brittany Mahomes, who has allegedly identified as a right wing supporter. However, Swift’s fans were not exactly happy about it.

Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes were spotted hanging out on the final day of the US Open recently, along with their significant others. While the two seemed to have no qualms about being besties despite their apparent differences, fans saw it as a betrayal from the pop queen, whom they thought had changed sides. Fans jumped to conclusions and accused Swift of backing Donald Trump, which led to a storm of backlash, until the pop star clarified her stance with a social media statement. This has now led to a war between fake and real Swifties.

Taylor Swift made it loud and clear that she would be supporting Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. Her clarification also meant that there would not be any controversy at her anticipated VMA appearance, should she really choose to attend. The confusion first began when some AI-generated fake campaign materials, suggesting Swift supported Donald Trump, were shared by the former president. Now, those Swifties who jumped the gun and thought Swift was on Team Trump have had to eat their words.

The true fans, meanwhile, have proudly taken to X to spread the word in support of Taylor Swift.

From the get-go, Taylor Swift has been pretty upfront about her political views. In fact, the 2024 elections were the first time the pop star took so much time before publicly waving her support flag. Not that she had to, but with all the rumors flying around and the backlash piling up, she had to step in and defend herself. And Swift’s supporters have not held back from giving the haters a taste of their own medicine.

Fans’ love for Taylor Swift only grew stronger, especially among the left-wing crowd, which makes up the bulk of her fanbase.

Taylor Swift’s impact on politics and her power to draw in voters is undeniably strong. And now that she has endorsed the Democratic Party’s nominee for president, it is pretty safe to say that Kamala Harris might have the better half of the odds in her favor. However, with a good chunk of Hip Hop artists stepping down not just to support Trump but also feature him on their tracks, the turnnout will be quite an interesting watch.
