It will get heated. Can't take it, don't open the forum.

We tolerate extreme views, assuming no actual discrimination against board-members occurs. We will let snowflakes melt from the heat.

So imagine that minus eleven years of life experience. MySpace, dude. MySpace.

Leftist celebrities tend to lecture you on why this viewpoint is terrible and how wrong you are for siding with it. I am a fan of plenty of celebrities with liberal viewpoints. But when you come from a place of malice, I feel less inclined to support you because you clearly would not like me if we ever met.
she looks like a tranny. hahaha! shut up and sing! <-- nothing to do with her politics. it's stupid and i'm never gonna like it.

He's a toxic presence in politics and it's a pretty shitty thing that he has such a following, especially among young people.

It's possible. Except when she was like 19 or something she posted "Republicans do it better" on her myspace page and her liberal fans outraged over it. Now the reverse is happening and I think celebrity status is about 100% of the reason why the flip occurred.
Actually, she just gave a reason why she "seemed to lean" Republican. It's because in country music the past 20 years they are not really allowed to be liberal. So, is that cool in your book? Isnt that the same thing? Fuck man....Willie Nelson....big time liberal. Johnny Cash fought against oppression of black people in the prison system. Garth Brooks....liberal. Emmylou Harris, liberal. Kris Kristopherson.....liberal. Steve Earle.....has always been super liberal and is a Bernie fan. And the list goes on.

That's a great point. The pressure specific to the country music industry where you have to appeal to conservatives could very well have been the reason for her early "beliefs".

Here is the article- https://tasteofcountry.com/taylor-swift ... -backlash/

She saw what happened to the Dixie Chicks, so she didn't want to share her political views. Toby Keith was a registered Democrat and voted for Obama. Now, he says he is independent. Gotta keep them record sales up, I guess lol.

The other point to note is that a decade ago the Republican Party was different from the current party. At least in a few clear ways. Could be that’s informed her view?

Yeah, that's fair. And that happens to a degree in these forums, too. Politics can be disgusting if you let yourself get too wrapped up in it...

Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard are two of the biggest names in the history of country music and they are some of the most outspoken liberal celebrities as well.

Not buying that for a second. She clearly grew up in a Conservative household and becoming a celebrity changed her viewpoints. Nobody will ever admit to that, left or right.

i have no doubt that she was raised conservative. how many people come into adulthood with different beliefs than they were raised into? it's not that big of a deal how she came into it.

donald trump made the shift from dem to republican pretty late in life. get over it! :P

What's her motive for this oddly time movement against "Anti-LGBT" in The White House? What equality is she even talking about?

If she was truly conservative, why didn't she align herself with more conservative celebrities? Maybe she was attracted to a more liberal way of thinking?

Conservative celebrities tend not to be looked upon so highly in Hollywood. You should hear the shit people say about Clint Eastwood. I mean, he could've totally done what other celebrities do and whine about people talking shit, but he addresses it every now and then by firing back and calling millennials the biggest pussies who ever lived. lmao.
