The same day Taylor Swift posted a message encouraging her followers to register to vote, over 35,000 people reportedly made a “Run (Taylor’s Version)” to do so on Vote.org.
“Vote.org saw record-breaking traffic to our site this week as we celebrated National Voter Registration Day, a highly encouraging sign of voter enthusiasm especially among newly eligible voters. Time and time again young people are showing up and demonstrating they care about their rights and access to the ballot box,” Andrea Hailey, CEO of Vote.org said in a release.
The American multi-genre singer-songwriter’s post also linked to the organization’s website, according to the release. In the Instagram post, Swift called on her army of fans, also known as “Swifties” to “[r]egister to vote in less than 2 minutes” via the nonprofit’s site.
A broken clock is right twice a day. She’s still a capitalist multi-millionaire and complicit in the corrupt music industry and has defended TicketMaster/LiveNation for their monopoly of live music. Like everything she does, it’s all performative.
So she is a product of it, was raised in it, succeeded in it and is working to make it better for others and you are mad about that?
She’s another Hollywood multi-millionaire nepo baby whose only success came from whose legs she slid out of.
I don’t give a fuck that she’s a multi millionaire. You know why? Let’s look at some math:
Why the hell should I be upset at her advocating for people to go register to vote? Is 10M-100M too much wealth? Yeah, but I’m far more concerned about the people making billions by sitting on their asses than I am about someone making millions by being an immensely popular song writer and singer (whose music is awesome).
This is like yelling at a retail worker for their return policy instead of yelling at the executives, who the worker is actively agreeing fucking suck. You’re falling for a talking point that the billionaires love to use to spread division. Like it or not, Taylor Swift not only works for her money, but she’s also been fucked over by billionaires in recording studios. She is closer to working class than she is to the filthy rich.
I hope she sees this dude.
Her complicity in the TicketMaster/LiveNation monopoly is reason enough for me to hate her. Sorry but you’re not gonna change my mind. I appreciate the effort you put in your comment though
Eh, have an upvote for appreciating the argument even if we still disagree.
Look, I slid out of a poor’s legs. I too am jelly.
Everything we all do is performative, especially your outrage.
Also isn’t she the single worst person for private jet usage on the planet or something?
