Conservative parents who are ponying up money for concert tickets that start at $1500, and in Miami, scalped for $20,000 may be reluctant to accommodate their little princesses now that Taylor has chosen to endorse Vice President Harris.
shareTaylor Swift has millions of fans who are now old enough to vote and they will vote for Harris. Too bad for Trump. It doesn't help when Vance called Swift a childless cat lady.
shareIt's a genuinely sad state of affairs if people of voting age make their decisions based on what a singer they like says.
shareMaybe it's sad but Swift fans are voting for Harris. How is this different from when Kid Rock, Ted Nugent and Hulk Hogan endorsed Trump?
shareI wonder how much, if any, difference it will make. Most of her fans were probably already going to vote Democrat no matter who the candidate was, simply out of party loyalty. Those who weren't probably aren't going to change their minds because a billionaire pop star told them she supports Harris.
shareThat's just too fking bad isn't it.
Anyone that pays thousands of dollars for their child to go to a concert isn't what I'd call "conservative". If conservatives like to see themselves as responsible and prudent.
Correct. My wife and I paid for both our sons college - free ride for both. They started their careers with zero debt and they are truly grateful (both now homeowners not in a small part due to their zero debt), but they also knew we would never pay for such wasteful things as expensive concert tickets - buy the DVD...
I'm sure they've both overpaid for concerts, but they paid on their own.
Hey why buy the DVD when they can pay huge amounts of money to go to the concert and watch it through their phones?
shareLast October I saw Tool in concert. There were signs and public address announcements stating that cell phones are not to be used for anything during the show. If caught you could be ejected from the arena. It was very nice watching a live performance without morons and their phones. I wish more musical artists would do that.
shareI'd be genuinely curious how that would affect ticket sales. There are I'm sure more than a few people who'd refuse to participate in something so detrimental to their human rights as having to go a couple of hours without their glowing dependency screen.
However it may also increase sales to people who really don't like going to concerts only to have their experience tainted by a thousand rectangular light sources obscuring their view of the action, held aloft by brainless dolts who can't work out that no one including themselves will ever want to see their pointless, shit quality recordings.

Talk to Clint Eastwood's empty chair.
shareOr read NBC's piece below. ;D

She should have just kept her mouth shut, eh ? Its a free country. You think she didn't expect there would be some negative consequences - do you think she's just plan dumb ? Or, maybe, do you think she thought this was an important enough choice to make her views known publicly - isn't that her right ? Doesn't that go to integrity - doing the un-safe, un-profitable thing ? Perhaps give her some credit, instead of, apparently, mocking her for doing so - or would that break something inside you. Never fear - you guys have Hulk Hogan lol.
MAGAts are kind of disgusting folks - they want to gang up on anyone who doesn't buy into their hateful bullshit, utterly transactional & cynical & unprincipled (their motives are those of the self-serving & crabbed - greed, racism, fear mongering, etc.)
Neither my OP nor the NBC link were hateful or even particularly partisan; merely observational. You, conversely, mocked a 90 year old film legend.
shareYou are pointing out her 'poll numbers' are dropping, as evidence for.... what ?
answer : she should have kept her mouth shut - what else ?
You're being clearly evasive.
Clint Eastwood is what he is, all 90 years of him - he did IN FACT talk to an empty chair, on stage, at an RNC convention. He didn't simply state his preference, nor was it any surprise, nor did he incur any risk or loss of box office appeal. I wasn't mocking him, I was describing his behavior. If you think talking to an empty chair is mock-worthy, I can't stop you, nor will I argue the point.
It's been known for years that Taylor is too afraid to endorse anyone other than the popular democratic candidate - there's no surprise here. It's the price she pays for her fame. If she gets any different political opinion in her pretty little head, she gets canceled.
shareThis woman is simply not worth mortgaging your fucking house for heaven's sake 🙄 Please get a grip
