Taylor Swift Announces Political Agenda

I was just fine with, "Love Story."

This past week, Taylor Swift announced that she will be getting more political in her album to come.

If you grew up in the era of T Swift, Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana), and Selena Gomez dominating pop culture of the early 2000s, you are probably just as disappointed as I am.

The Taylor Swift that used to write the love ballads we would all sing along to before we even had our first kiss are being replaced to fulfill a political agenda that so many have already tried to shove down our throats.

When will Hollywood separate their political beliefs from their talent?

When asked about it, Swift claimed that she vowed to torch half of her fan base. Is that what we have turned to? Are we so polarized that these young talents don't want fans that have different political ideologies than them?

Pathetic.

Swift had stayed out of politics up until the most recent midterm elections. According to my research, "She encouraged her 112 million followers to vote for Democrat Phil Bredesen for the Tennessee Senate, and also for Rep. Jim Cooper, a Democrat who was running for re-election. Her post was also highly critical of Republican Marsha Blackburn." https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-political-undertones-2020-election

Her Instagram post read as follows, "As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me." https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-political-undertones-2020-election

Well, what is more, terrifying than a bunch of Hollywood elitists that have the power and voice to influence a sea of voters?

What people fail to recognize is that these actors, actresses, singers, and songwriters are in their own little bubble on fire out in California and should not have any say in politics if they aren't out there physically trying to make a difference.

Stick to what you know best, T Swift, for the sake of middle school girls everywhere.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
