At the recent Grammy Awards, Taylor Swift was honored by a healthy-looking Céline Dion with the Album of the Year award, a crowning achievement for the singer. Beyond her musical successes, she wields considerable political influence, as evidenced by the attitude of former United States President Donald Trump. Swift gave a speech in favor of current President Joe Biden during the last presidential elections.
Taylor Swift has become a true social phenomenon. With 534 million followers on social media, she represents an undeniable force in the media landscape. In 2020, her encouragement to vote for Joe Biden had already demonstrated her influence on the electorate, particularly among young people.
Her impact is such that some conservative media outlets have strongly criticized her, urging her to stay away from politics. However, the artist does not buckle under pressure. Her promotion of voter registration even led to a spike in registrations.
Taylor Swift’s tour has also been an economic driver for the United States, generating billions of dollars. Her ability to mobilize young people could prove decisive for the upcoming elections. Some ‘Trumpists’ even go so far as to spread conspiracy theories about her.
Despite these criticisms and theories about her, Taylor Swift remains to this day a pivotal figure in American popular culture.
