A fresh viral video on X (previously Twitter) has sent the internet into a tizzy, suggesting that Taylor Swift’s fandom, the Swifties, may be supporting Donald Trump. The clip went viral and controversially states that Vienna concerts of Switt were called off due to terror threats because there were not any past presidencies by Trump.
The vlogger of this video thinks that Trump brought peace to the world and if he was in power when this situation happened the concert could have been saved. Therefore, it has generated a lot of discussions and speculations among fanatics and political thinkers alike.
Taylor Swift commands an impressive following of 412 million across Instagram, TikTok, and X. In fact, her platform has historically driven significant voter registration efforts. Nevertheless she has made no endorsements for any candidates in this election cycle; thus leaving plenty of space for wild guesses about her political inclinations.
Emerald Medrano is known as a popular Swiftie with 70k followers who expressed disappointment at Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 presidential race in favor of Kamala Harris. He highlighted some conservative policies outlined in Project 2025 urging fellow fans to vote more actively. Medrano’s call led to the creation of Swifties for Kamala after it garnered14k likes.
Swifties for Kamala combines Taylor-themed activism with pro-Harris initiatives designed to counter right-wing agendas. Consequently, they upload Swift-inspired memes & clips while mobilizing phone banks against down-ballot races and volunteer opportunities or quoting her lyrics.
Even though this video poses interesting questions about aligning with trump it therefore seems unlikely given that swift has not endorsed anyone. Nevertheless, as the 2024 election approaches we see how much influence swift’s fanbase continues exerting over political conversations through groups like Swifties for Kamala.
