Folks, I'm telling you now. If Kamala comes out to this song, the song of the summer in clubs and festivals all over the US, the song that ended the Drake/Kendrick rap battle, a song slamming Drake for his proclivities that could just as easily apply to Trump...if she came out to this song and danced at the DNC, we'd lock up the Gen Z/Millennial vote. Having Taylor endorse Kamala would obviously be huge, but I'd love to see Kendrick endorse Kamala and the campaign tap into "Not Like Us" fever.

(26,968 posts)He has, in recent years, had to apologize for casually using the N word in a leaked video (he also donated $300k to a black music organization in response), flouted COVID guidelines quite publicly, and gotten arrested for throwing a chair off a building in the direction of two police officers.
I guess it depends on where he falls on one's notoriety/popularity scale and whether he's worth the baggage.

I think if Beyonce endorsed Kamala with the song "who run the world" girls do....
Will also be effective.....Beyonce is friends with Kamala.....
We shall see🤞

(23,997 posts)Getting Taylor Swift on board would be enormous, she would lead a movement of young people to the polls. Her publicly endorsing Kamala could end her career. What they did to the Dixie Chicks was childs play compared with the death threats Taylor will get.

(260 posts)vote/educating on Taylor's sub on reddit and have been for awhile. They already know which side she's on.

(17,477 posts)Taylor's following completely eclipses the Dixie Chicks and I say that as a fan of the Chicks who supported them on their tour after the backlash in the early 2000's.
