Even tho she is not maga her silence speaks volumes. I tried to include a link but not sure how to do it. It's from last November. Not all of her fans are children and some have questioned why she has not spoken out about this. She has done so in the past when both political parties have used her music.

I see nothing showing she is becoming MAGA JI7 Dec 2025 #4

She has no integrity SamuelTheThird Dec 2025 #6

She doesn't need to do anything to benefit her career. She is the biggest pop star on the planet. FascismIsDeath Dec 2025 #12

You're right, she doesn't HAVE to SamuelTheThird Dec 2025 #49

No, she doesn't. She never had to endorse anyone for President. She didn't have to endorse Phil Bredesen either. FascismIsDeath Dec 2025 #54

Literally everyone that knows her and has worked with her would outright deny she is a narcissist. FascismIsDeath Dec 2025 #90

Its gotten worse since this article was posted SamuelTheThird Dec 2025 #91
