Taylor Swift shouldn't talk politics

-

Singer Taylor Swift endorsed two Democratic congressio­nal nominees in Tennessee on her Instagram account. According to Vote.org, her post has inspired a surge in voter registrati­on. I don’t really care what celebritie­s think when it comes to politics. If I want to hear or know about that I will tune in to CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, local news, etc. When it comes to celebritie­s, they should just entertain. I couldn’t care less which side they’re on. Beth McGlamery King Conservati­ves celebrate Kanye West for being political but demonize Taylor Swift for being the kind of political they don’t like. And yet, the “depolorabl­es” dare call us snowflakes. Ian Blake Of course Swift is voting Democrat. She doesn’t want to lose all of her celebrity friends and endorsemen­ts. People, decide for yourselves! You don’t need a celebrity to tell you what to do. Linda Reyes Wright Swift will persuade millions of firsttime voters to vote Democrat. Hey, if Trump has Kellyanne Conway ... Bruce Miller Independen­t voter here! What is perplexing to me is that movie stars, musicians, athletes and other entertaine­rs even feel the need to share their political views. Maybe I am alone here, but I could not possibly care less what their political leanings are. Keep your mouths shut and entertain us. Nothing more, nothing less. Chad Miller Wow, so many Republican­s complainin­g about Swift’s comments, but they eat up Scott Baio, Kid Rock and Stephen Baldwin’s nonsense. Dave Christian
