How Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris affects her conservative fans
Swift’s post to Instagram on Tuesday explained that she decided to back Harris “because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.”
Angel Sobolewski doesn’t take political advice from pop stars — not even her favorite, Taylor Swift.
That’s why Sobolewski, who regularly promotes Republican candidates through her profile on X, is voting for former President Donald Trump in November despite being a Swiftie.
“I think you can like an artist without, like, agreeing with their politics,” Sobolewski, 21, said. “You know, if we had to agree with their politics, we’d probably be left with, like, two people.”
Swift’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday after Harris’ debate with Trump has rankled and disappointed some of her many fans on the conservative side of the political spectrum. Others said they’re not thrilled about the endorsement — but they were “Ready for It.”
“We learned last night that she’ll be supporting Kamala Harris in the election, but that’s OK, and that, you know, diversity of ideology and diversity of opinion in the United States are important, and we should keep our horizons open,” conservative Swift fan Jenna Piwowarczyk told NBC News.
