Taylor Swift took a significant risk and was told she would face considerable backlash beforehand.
Not only that, but her bold and bombshell decision might have consequences for her NFL boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
The pop star made the grand gesture of jumping headfirst into this year’s tumultuous presidential election. Swift wholeheartedly endorsed Kamala Harris for president.
Swift was warned that her loud political move would set a storm in Donald Trump‘s golden towers. It did.
The former president attacked the singer in the most vile way, and his supporters followed suit.
The 78-year-old grandfather screamed from the top of his lungs on social media, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT.”
The act of hatred has transformed and converted into concrete actions. Raw data via Yahoo and The Wrap has shown that Swift is losing millions of streams and views since announcing her backing of Harris.
According to the media outlets: “Swift has lost more than 2 million Spotify listeners, according to data shared by Chartmetric, a music streaming analytics company. According to Chartmetric’s data, the number of people viewing Swift’s YouTube videos in the U.S. dropped by nearly 10% after Harris’s endorsement.”
That also implies that the singer has hundreds of thousands of fans leaving her side. The drama surrounding Taylor Swift has rolled over to Travis Kelce.
Swift is receiving threats and has stopped attending his football games. In the past few weeks, the entertainer skipped two Kansas City Chiefs games: one against the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and another against the Chargers at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Insiders told Page Six that while Swift’s busy schedule played a part in her decision to cancel her appearance, it was mainly due to security concerns.
The person in the know stated: “She has worked with Arrowhead so many times that they feel at ease and comfortable. Going to all kinds of different stadiums, you need to send a team in advance.”
All the political and career drama have taken a toll on Kelce, who has not been performing well. According to Next Gen Stats: “Travis Kelce is off to a feeble start to his season. The star tight end has generated just eight catches for 69 yards, both the fewest in any three-game span within a single season of his career. Kelce ran 82 routes in 2024, averaging 0.8 yards per route run.”
However, in the words of the late civil rights leader John Lewis, Taylor Swift was ready to get in some good trouble for what she believed in.
