I don’t know of any guaranteed ways to make TSwift respond to/refute something, but this has got to be right at the top of the list.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
In many countries, falsely claiming support from an influential person can get your political party is deregistered for the next election.
Well here in America we have jerbs and.... And freedom! So.... Murica!
back in the pile!
Don't forget about guns
We can also sue for pretty much anything.
Wouldn't this qualify for a lawsuit? She's a preformer so I'm pretty sure you can't use her likeness without consent.
The mockery from Democrats was swift.
That got a chuckle.
A sensible chuckle.
I, too, have not been endorsed by Taylor Swift. I'm not so weird about it that I feel the need to fake it.
Hello fan and friend. It is I, famous singer Taylor Swift. Here today to endorse (insert name), a very good friend and fan. Please private message me for postage/payment information and to receive your signed endorsement from me, Taylor Swift.
It's me, (Kan)ye, and I do not approve this message. Imma let you finish, but Kamala had one of the best endorsements OF ALL TIME. I am of course referring to Donald Trump donating to Harris's campaign when she was running for AG.
Insert antisemitic sign-off here.
Nice try, George Santos!
“I think she’s beautiful — very beautiful! I find her very beautiful. I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump. I hear she’s very talented. I think she’s very beautiful, actually — unusually beautiful!"
I don't think it's with her popularity that the creepy old serial sex abuser is preoccupied...
The fact that she has been completely silent on this... I really wonder if she's waiting to respond until she's on stage. At the DNC.
Or maybe it's just not even been a day yet and she's working on a response with her lawyers and/or PR person.
She'd want to get the full effect, which would be doing it at the DNC. Even her statement might get lost if it's right before. Plus, let Trump and the rest keep saying more stuff the days before and digging the hole deeper, it will give more to work with.
She'll only do it at the DNC if she's ready to endorse, but this could be Trump shooting himself in the misshapen dick again.
I doubt she'll be at the DNC. She'll grab all the headlines for even being there. She's too big of a star.
I doubt she'll be at the DNC. It won't even be very useful if she does. I don't know how many fans are even interested in politics, let alone watch the DNC.
He's obsessed with her because she reminds him of his daughter
And because she has bigger crowds than he does.
And more money, too
Now that's weird
This is going to be an extreme week for Trump. All eyes on Harris and Walz, he’s going to try really hard to get some attention.
Next week he's gonna be in a star spangled cape singing Elvis tunes in front of a cgi audience.
That's pretty fitting, considering dying on the toilet is a risk at his age.
He never asks ladies for consent, first.
Neat! I know next to nothing about her, but it's refreshing seeing a celebrity simply speaking out in a casual environment. Didn't expect to watch the whole thing.
Who are the people she's defending herself to?
EDIT: It's her family.
The Manager (Dad? Idk): WHAT IF THEY WRITE YOU'RE AGAINST DONALD TRUMP
Swift: I don't care if they do, I should have 2 years ago
The Manager :O
LMAO
I k ow nothing about her either but I always got stuck watching the whole thing when I stumbled upon this. I believe it’s her family and entourage like manager, agent, etc…
I’ve always been in that camp that doesn’t listen to her music but gets the impression that she’s a decent person. After watching that video I can confirm that Taylor Swift is a MF real one.
Remember when the weirdo right wing thought she was their white queen?
Trump probably thinks women should be occupied with housework. I’m looking forward to Taylor cleaning the floor with him in court.
Anything in court won't be resolved until years after the election. She should do a benefit concert for the Harris campaign to make her position clear and have a meaningful impact.
Why not both?
Both is fine; legal action on its own isn't useful here.
The old creepy weirdo did what now?
Has she endorsed Kamala yet? I want to see the brain rot that spews from trump when that happens.
