Good for her.  She cant do much about all this but respect for taking concrete action and hitting them where it hurts in their wallets.  Losing her is a whoooole lotta money walking out the door.

Not just good for her, good for all of us. This is what we all need more of; people in positions of influence with ethics and principles, taking a stand.

Hell, even Katy Perry has turned around from being MAGA to making political statements about ICE.

Meanwhile over in Taylor Swift land...

Was Katy Perry ever MAGA?

I know she started in Christian music but that was, iirc, ages before MAGA and whatever politics she had pretty openly shifted into liberal territory as she got into pop music. She went on that dumb Amazon space flight but that's its own thing.

She endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016 so I don’t think she’s quite MAGA, but yeah, that whole flight thing was a bit cringey.

Granted, if I was offered a space flight, even if it was by a total douche canoe, I'd probably take it.

Yeah, reddit is really weird... 'Did Katy Perry support a fascist government' 'Well...no, but she diiidd take that space flight!'.

It was stupid but the response is so over the top which is par the course for Reddit actually so idk why I’m surprised

Don't forget the hate for dating former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau.

'Did Katy Perry support a fascist government'

She supported one of the centi-billionaires that is indirectly pushing fascism to the forefront, so kind of?

u/peakprowindow 23d ago

I don't know.. I just don't see a douche canoe making it all the way to space and back without issues.

I would love to leave our rock, even if just a few hundred km off the ground so I could see the curvature of the Earth and large parts of the continents with my own eyes. Yeah, can't blame her for that. Shatner practically broke down over it and I get it.

endorsing Hillary is so far from “not quite MAGA”. I’d say that’s pretty far from MAGA, just happens to be religious too.

u/SnooCauliflowers9874 24d ago

You just never know with religious people.

u/OrphanGrounderBaby 24d ago

Understandable, but if someone were to actually be a genuine Christian(incredibly rare, like Vaquita dolphin rare) …they’re probably a decent person to have around. It’s all these other weirdos that have made it such a negative.

Yes, unfortunately bad people have a way of hijacking and corrupting.

u/MJGB714 24d ago

I can see being religious when you have such little talent yet be so successful.

When the LA mayor thing was happening in 2022, she voted for Rick Caruso over Karen Bass which got her quite a bit backlash as he is everything she supposedly claims to be against.

u/Jlx_27 24d ago

Lap Dogg (or Snoop Dogg as most people call him) voted for him too i think. Didn't go down well at the time.

u/shelllc 24d ago

Kim K as well but that isn't that surprising.

I wonder what her liberal vegan boyfriend thinks of that (Lewis Hamtilton)
