In response to Swift’s endorsement, some fans took to social media to express their disappointment, with a segment of Swifties even launching a campaign to “cancel” her. The hashtag #CancelTaylorSwift began trending on platforms like Twitter and TikTok, with users sharing memes, videos, and posts criticizing the singer for her political stance. Some fans argued that Swift should stay out of politics, while others claimed that her support for Harris signaled a disconnect with the values they believed she once represented.
One fan tweeted, “Taylor Swift used to be about the music, now she’s just another celebrity trying to tell us how to think. We didn’t sign up for this.” Another wrote, “It’s sad to see someone I admired so much pushing an agenda I don’t agree with. She’s lost me as a fan.”
