It’s been largely memory holed, but back in 2014-2017 Taylor Swift started getting increasing amounts of media ire for being racist and homophobic.p. Her two videos, Shake It Off and Wildest Dreams, especially attracting articles for racial insensitivity.
In 2017-2018, while much of the country was attracted to Swift for being particularly apolitical and not attacking Trump or supporters, the media ratcheted up campaigns against her.
At some point, she cracked. She apologized for not endorsing a candidate or “speaking her mind”, she came out as a Democrat, and released the transgender-pandering song “Calm Down”.
And suddenly most of the media fueled controversy stopped, overnight. She became a Biden spokesperson, and national discourse around her skyrocketed.
Then the Travis Kelce relationship came along, ensuring football was also affected.
So yeah, I think she was extorted into doing this, but now she’s enjoying all the benefits of being a puppet.
