What will happen first, Swift endorsing Biden (unlikely) or Trump losing it and posting some smear of Swift (more likely)? I think the latter would really hurt Trump. And given how reluctant Swift is to endorse anything or anyone, it would be a pretty good result. Come on, Trump. Smear Swift.

Why unlikely? She endorsed him in 2020. Seems like it's likely she will, if anything.

Ooooo, I got it. Swift releases a catchy anti-trump tune. It can just be a song about terrible old men. It charts this summer and serves as a de-facto endorsement.

Yes, but as you recall, it was within an interview in a magazine. Trump had COVID and was looking like a loser, but she was careful not to make a huge splash. So I see her either going big with an endorsement live on the Today Show (or some other morning show), or Trump attacks her first. The Swift fans will then do her work for her. No endorsement necessary. Trump will be vilified by her fan base. Keep in mind, whatever she does will move her net worth. She was worth $500 Million in 2020. She's One Billion+ today. She has a whole team gaming this out. In 2016, that team told her to stay out of the race entirely.

The saddest thing is what Trump craves the most is the approval of people like Taylor. SheтАЩs rich, sheтАЩs powerful, sheтАЩs (most importantly) a celebrity. ItтАЩs all heтАЩs ever wanted.
