Some Republicans are concerned about Taylor Swift’s potential influence on the 2024 presidential election due to her large, liberal-leaning fan base and her ability to motivate voter registration.
Swift has been critical of former President Donald Trump and has supported Democratic candidates.
Some conservative commentators have speculated about her influence and questioned her relationship with Travis Kelce, an NFL star.
“Any woman who is accomplishing what she’s accomplishing is a sitting duck to them. It’s easy to fight against her,” writer Amee Vanderpool said.
“Having the nerve to warn a younger woman, who is much more rich and powerful than you are, that she needs to ‘think twice’ about making a personal endorsement of Biden, is peak 2016 White Male Privilege,” she said.
“When you have someone registering 30,000 votes at a time, it absolutely can have an impact,” Vote.org CEO Andrea Hailey said.
“Traditionally, women’s hobbies have been constructed as annoying and inferior,” Oregon State University student Miranda Findlay said. “It goes to this idea that if the men are not enjoying something, it’s probably not worth enjoying.”
“This is a country that was built for white, straight men, and Taylor Swift as a presence directly threatens that. She is a uniting force, and that is part of what terrifies them, honestly, whether they want to admit it or not.”
Republicans also criticized Kelce for his involvement in vaccine promotion and support for transgender rights.
Swift’s presence at football games has drawn attention and criticism from some viewers.
Despite this, Swift’s impact on voter sentiment and her ability to mobilize her fan base remain a concern for some Republicans.
