White, blonde, Texan and country singer… Taylor Swift ticks all the boxes to become an unconditional supporter of the American Republicans. And yet no! The American singer has already hidden her political opinions for a long time. Loved by both the LGBTQ+ community and white supremacists… We had to wait until 2018 to have the superstar’s political opinion.
During the 2016 election, which pitted Hillary Clinton against Donald Trump, Taylor Swift did not publicly take a position. “In the past, I have been reluctant to make my political opinions public but after several events in my life and in the world over the last two years, I feel very different now,” the star finally wrote in an Instagram post in 2018, two years after the election of Donald Trump. From that moment on, she publicly supported the LGBTQ+ movement and declared that she would vote for the Democratic candidates for the midterm elections in her state of Tennessee.
At the dawn of a new presidential election in November 2024, Trump’s teams fear that Taylor Swift will publicly affirm her support for Joe Biden. Aware that his voice has power. At the end of January 2024, a survey carried out by the institute Redfield & Wilton Strategies for the media Newsweek revealed that 18% of voters say they are “more likely” or “significantly more likely” to vote for a candidate in the 2024 presidential election supported by Taylor Swift.
