    Democrats actively attacked her for not vocally taking their side virtually forcing her into this awkward position. I'm only stating reality that this may well alienate a certain portion of her fan base. Big difference between shut up and sing as I said or vocally take my position or you will be attacked as the left did

    Six words; Teenage girls, pop music and Millennals and Zoomers.

    Dixie Chick's fanbase was much more narrow as they were a niche band. Taylor Swift has fans all over the world and most of them could not pinpoint country if it was shoved down their throats. Add to this that Dixie Chicks made statements that went against the mainstream narrative whereas Taylor Swift has made ones that are fully in line with conemporary discourse.

    Taylor Swift will se no backlash. Neither from "Conservative fans" nor from mainstream media. Her status as pop princess is unthreatenned.

    Lol...All of trump's supporters suffer from tds.
    I gets aggravated whenever they have to run out to polish one of trump's turds.
    Obviously, the condition is only getting worse.

    Time will tell on this. Oprah had a huge fan base too but when she went political her ratings plummeted and she lost her show. Same thing with NFL players kneeling, they hemmoraged audience and finally had to shut up and play ball

    i see more middle aged, white, male Trump-fans who have TSDS (Taylor Swift Derangement Syndrome) than I see white, liberal men with TDS. The Trump fans are obviously pissed because the school's popular girl is not asking them out for the prom. ;)

    Over time I've come to the conclusion that you never add anything of substance to a conversation and are a waste of time in here. Welcome to my ignore list.:)

    Again, Taylor Swift's fanbase is 99.99% (not to say 100%) females in the age group of 12-30 where the older ones are those who grew up with her. Many of these fans also live outside the US and have no relation whatsoever to American politics and even her American fans are more interested in her songs than her political opinions. If politics matter at all, her fanbase consists of a group that is mostly Liberal anyways.

    I cannot see how this is an equation that equals plummeted ratings.

    A president ain't a "profession" and a president should not/cannot always say what is on his mind.

    There is no need to guess. It is pretty damn obvious from her songs and concert videos. She makes music for girls. Simple as that.

    So indeed you are guessing and can't back up your previous post with actual facts. As I suspected

    Hey, if you like her music, it is fine. I won't judge you. I am just saying that you then belong to a teeny-tiny minority of male Swifties. :laughing:

    Trump as President has never issued an unlawful order to the White House Marine sentries.

    Obama couldn't make that claim.

    Exactly what is Presidential ?

    Not wearing a shirt, tie and jacket while taking care of official business in the Oval Office ?

    Showing up in the White House situation room wearing golf shoes ?

    Allowing an office with in the White House to be the cocain den for White House staff ?

    Running a Motel 6 at night renting out the Lincoln bedroom ?

    Growing a watermelon patch on the White House grounds ?

    Hanging condoms as Christmas tree ornaments on the White House Christmas tree ?

    Only the minority were embarrassed by Dubya's lies. The mainstream media and most folks bought those lies hook, line and sinker. Toby Keith made a big deal about it, causing me to never buy another of his songs.

    Nice dodge but once again you can't back up your audience demographics claim with any facts which is as I suspected

    That's absurd.

    That's like screaming fire in a theater for Teh LULZ.

    But you already know this.

    Yes I'm serious. You can't back up your 99% claim with any actual facts but instead rely on anecdotal evidence and what you see in videos. Don't throw out specific numbers if you can't validate them

    Try this on for size. Now about your 99% are little girls claim? Here's the facts.

    "Taylor Swift, surprisingly, falls into almost the same category in that 59% of her fans are female and about a third of them are also over the age of 50."
