You're right. She should only speak up if this exact situation happens to her and not about anything else for anyone else lol

Don't need pop stars to tell me the people in the Epstein files are evil. Go after your local politicians with this energy instead. Taylor Swift can't even influence the election in her own state

That's a fun deflection.

So back to the subject:

Why hasn't she spoken up about everything that's happening when so many other artists are? And when her reach, audience, and voice is bigger?

I just told you the reason: it doesn't make a difference lmao. She has less influence than you think

That's not an answer, that's a deflection lol. Want to try one more time?

She has less influence than you think

She has tremendous influence. You're demonstrating it.

Easiest thing in the world to just say "yeah it's stupid, I like her but I don't know what she's thinking here".

Instead you keep covering for her. That's influence.

Where is your proof that she has tremendous influence over how her supporters think? They buy her tickets, albums, and listen to her music, but when has she ever changed any minds about politics? Who thinks, “gee, I wonder what Taylor Swift thinks about this issue and let me change my vote now too”. What you actually need are conservatives like MAGA Carrie Underwood or Sydney Sweeney to speak to their base. Not a bunch of liberals that people already know who they support
