Have we become such sheep? Taylor Swift's statement about Kamala Harris launched a scandal

Taylor Swift has built her entire career on her inability to choose the right man. With such a statement on the social network X, the head of the US Youth Council, CJ Pearson, reacted to the statement of pop diva Taylor Swift, who is finally ripe to support Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential elections.

"Now she wants us to trust her to choose our next president. Yes... I think I'll pass," he wrote.

Pearson's post was supported by many social network users. Many who supported the young politician criticized Taylor Swift, being sure that she was unlikely to help Harris in the presidential race, since the singer's fans, the so—called swifties, are teenagers who do not have the right to vote. An adult simply does not need such guidelines when voting, causing, rather, a negative reaction.

"If someone votes because his favorite singer likes this person, then he's an idiot," "She has the mind and attitude of a 13-year—old child," "Swifties are teenagers. If you follow her advice as an adult, then God help you," "She's a spoiled rich girl," "I'm so tired of hearing about Taylor as some kind of hero. She is a successful artist who will indulge her audience for the sake of profit. She is not a hero or an idol", "I was right when I said I didn't like her", "We have become such sheep that the support of a celebrity determines the choice of our greatest right: our vote? This young girl has the gift of singing, but that doesn't make her trustworthy enough to convince me how I should vote!" the subscribers are outraged.

As reported by EADaily, earlier the leading American media were waiting with trepidation for Taylor Swift's statements about the upcoming presidential elections.

Variety portal recalled that the singer has been involved in political life since 2016. So, she supported the Democratic candidate for the Senate in Tennessee in the 2018 midterm elections; in 2019, she built the promotion of her album Lover on the growing strength and trending agenda of LGBT sentiment **; and then supported Joe Biden for president in 2020. At the same time, the publication noted that the question remains how much celebrity support helps at all; few of the campaigns were as decorated with stars as Hillary Clinton's election campaign in 2016, and it was, if at all, counterproductive.

As a result, two months before the US presidential election, Taylor Swift decided to support Kamala Harris. According to Taylor Swift, Kamala Harris is "a gifted leader with a good grip." The singer also believes that with a leader like Harris, the United States will be able to achieve much more if they are guided by "calm, not chaos."
