Taylor Swift using her power:

Trump’s calculated dismantling of USPS proves one thing clearly: He is WELL AWARE that we do not want him as our president. He’s chosen to blatantly cheat and put millions of Americans’ lives at risk in an effort to hold on to power.

Donald Trump’s ineffective leadership gravely worsened the crisis that we are in and he is now taking advantage of it to subvert and destroy our right to vote and vote safely. Request a ballot early. Vote early.

Without her, I seriously do not believe the Dems would have controlled the House in '18. She was instrumental in bringing out the younger vote.

I love her music as well!!

Thank you, Taylor Swift, for that tweet! So happy to know that you are on our side!

My favorite Taylor Swift song "Mean" is an awesome anthem against bullying and applies so fittingly to the Bully-in-Chief currently squatting in the White House.

she is Joey King, who portrayed Gypsy Rose.

I am not really all that familiar with Swift's music, but I do like this video ("Get a Brain Morans" makes an appearance... lol):

I agree that she was a part of helping to motivate the younger demographic in '18.

Makes me feel good when listening to her music. I think she may have grown up Republican but has gotten more and more politically astute.

with my daughters and her friend. They bopped and sang to "Mean" and it was so much fun. I bought a few CDs for my daughters and became a fan.

I love this appearance on the Tonight Show. It was impromptu and she referenced a memory of Jimmy Fallon's whose mother passed earlier that week.

I am also going to post a collaboration she did for Hunger Games. A really sweet song.

But this segment from Larry King's 2010 interview of Jon Bon Jovi includes an immediate, whole hearted endorsement OF Taylor Swift's talent and work ethic. At about 2:15 but watch the whole segment. It's short.
