Taylor Swift is one of the biggest pop stars in the world.
The musician has always kept her silence on issues surrounding the political spectrum.
But she just broke that silence and now Swift made one move that should make her fans furious.
Taylor Swift is one of America’s biggest celebrities.

At age sixteen, she scored a top 40 hit.
Now the 28-year-old is a ten-time Grammy award winner.
Swift has never inserted herself into politics like the rest of the Hollywood elitists.
Even when probed about President Trump, Swift refused to comment on his presidency.
But Swift just went against that mantra and decided to endorse Democratic candidate Phil Bredesen in her home state of Tennessee.
Shockingly, Bredesen was one of the few Democrats who ended up supporting Kavanaugh.
His senatorial opponent, Marsha Blackburn, who also supported Kavanaugh, skewered Bredesen for taking too long to make up his mind.
But that didn’t stop Swift from writing a really long Instagram post about the upcoming election.
Swift wrote, “I’m writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which I’ll be voting in the state of Tennessee. In the past, I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now.”
Of course when she says the “past two years,” Swift is talking about Trump.
Clearly, she does not support our president.
She continued, “I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.”
This is probably why Swift should’ve stayed silent.
Breseden’s support for Kavanaugh is phony.
If he wins this race, Democrats will most likely control the Senate.
That means Chuck Schumer controls the levers of power.
If Trump gets a chance to nominate another justice then the Democrats will block anybody Trump chooses.
Bredesen is down in the polls and he is calling in the Hollywood big guns.
Bredesen is an obstructionist Democrat.
And the so-called fight for “human rights” that Swift mentions exactly what Trump is doing right now.
Part of our president’s Make America Great Again agenda is about putting Americans first.
We can’t help the entire world.
We need to take care of our own first.
That’s what Trump is doing.
After that, she attacked Blackburn’s voting record.
Swift said, “Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values.”

But Bredesen supported Kavanaugh.
So how does that fit into her narrative here?
Swift’s endorsement was surprising,to say the least.
Swift’s endorsement was surprising
Most people thought of her has a secret Republican.
We all know how Hollywood blacklists Republicans.
Being a Trump supporter in Hollywood is almost certainly a career death sentence.
Look at the backlash against Kanye West right now.
West wore his MAGA hat on stage during Saturday Night Live’s curtain call and liberals were furious.
The superstar rapper even said that he was bullied backstage by the cast for wearing his Trump hat.
That should tell you all you need to know about the state of Hollywood right now.
They’re close-minded to all of this.
Swift might have lost a lot of fans due to this endorsement.
Many of them are Trump supporters and Republicans.
It was a terrible career move.
