Donald Trump, who attempted to overturn the American people’s democratic vote in 2020, accused pop star Taylor Swift on Sunday of being “disloyal” if she endorses Joe Biden for president.
While the right-wing conspiracy theory machine fears that Swift is a Pentagon plant whose relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and his team’s Superbowl victory yesterday, was designed to give Swift a platform to swing the election in favor of Biden, Trump intervened. with his own thoughts.
He said there was “no way she could support corrupt Joe Biden” and that she would never be “disloyal to the man who made her so much money.”
Trump said Swift and other artists benefited from the Music Modernization Act, which helped artists earn royalties and licensing fees more easily through music streaming services, and which was passed during his presidency.
Swift endorsed Biden in 2020 race, although he has not yet publicly supported anyone in the last campaign. A recent Instagram post in which she encouraged his followers to vote reportedly resulted in more than 35,000 voter registrations. Trump said Biden “didn’t do anything for Taylor, and he never will” and said he liked Kelce “even though he may be a liberal and probably can’t stand me.” Kelce attracted the ire of the right for once appearing in a campaign to encourage people to get the Covid vaccine.
The Biden campaign had fun with the conspiracy theories, tweeting after the Chiefs’ win: “Just the way we designed it,” along with a photo of “Dark Brandon,” a demonic-looking right-wing Biden meme that his supporters have appropriated as their own. .
Other politicians have rushed to align themselves with Swift, with Chuck Schumer, the Senate majority leader, stating on social media that he was a Swiftie and that his favorite deep cut was White Horse from Fearless, his 2008 album.
Meanwhile, some Republicans have warned politicians on their own side about the dangers of going after the popular and influential singer.
The Music Modernization Act that Trump claimed was his idea updated copyright law to better adapt royalty and licensing payments to the era of music streaming. It was a strong bipartisan effort supported unanimously by both the House and Senate.
One of the lawyers involved, Dina LaPolt, told variety on Sunday that Trump “did nothing about our legislation except sign it.”
