Why Taylor Swift Should Be Our Next President

Honestly, there is nothing this woman can't do.

Why Taylor Swift Should Be Our Next President
Lexi Jocelyn

With the primary elections underway, the pressure is on for all Americans to do their civic duty and participate by voting in the 2016 presidential race. There are good candidates… and some not so good ones. With every other conversation right now having to do with one contender or another, it can be pretty overwhelming. So how about I make things really simple for you and introduce an entirely new candidate? Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Taylor Swift.

OK, so she’s not actually running, but could you imagine if she was? That would make all of our choices a lot easier. Here’s why.

She knows how to handle a feud in the classiest of ways

Taylor has had her fair share of debates between her celebrity peers and colleagues. No one can forget her ultimate Twitter throw-downs with Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj and her on-again-off-again beefs with Kanye. Through it all she has held her own with nothing but the utmost class and respect. As president, she would do the same. No trash talk or rude comments that could potentially spark tensions between the U.S. and another country. Plus, she’d probably bring fresh baked cookies to all the conferences and international visits she’d attend.


She’s great at making allies

Taylor Swift’s friendship-making skills are magical. She’s constantly adding peers and colleagues from the entertainment world to her circle of friends, and if she was president I’m sure it would be no different. It’s pretty hard to resist her bubbly personality and big heart. Political figureheads from across the globe would be lining up to form alliances with the U.S. World peace would be a cinch in no time. Honestly, who wouldn’t want to be a part of her #squad?

The first man would be gorgeous

This is non-debatable. Calvin Harris would be the sexiest first spouse to ever live on Pennsylvania Ave. Just think of the smoking hot family portraits that would line the halls of the White House. Celebrities and the president are already two of the most paparazzi-flocked professions, so Taylor and Calvin would already be well accustomed to the constant flashing cameras and never getting a moment's peace.


She’d be even more of a role model than she already is

Just being a platinum-selling, sold-out touring artist is enough to have thousands of girls around the world dreaming of being in her shoes someday. But imagine if Taylor Swift was the president too. She’s already a lead spokeswoman for female empowerment. She’d be the first female president and an even bigger inspiration to girls everywhere.

So while the rest of the nation continues to bicker over Trump, Clinton, Sanders and the other candidates this election season, I’ll sit back and cast a ballot for #TS2016.

Disclaimer: As great as Taylor Swift is, I do not actually want her to be president. That would most likely be the end of her musical career, and no one wants that. #Feelinthebern

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up.
