Rumors of her potential departure began to circulate when Swift was spotted looking at luxury real estate in London and Paris, sparking speculation that she was ready to trade in the stars and stripes for a European escape. Friends close to the singer say she’s been grappling with the idea of leaving the U.S. for some time, feeling increasingly disillusioned with the country’s political and cultural climate.
“She’s been saying for months that maybe it’s time to go,” said one insider. “The criticism, the hate—she just doesn’t understand what she did wrong. And now, she’s thinking maybe the U.S. just isn’t the place for her anymore.”
It all started with what seemed like a heartfelt endorsement. Swift, a long-time advocate for women’s rights and social issues, publicly threw her support behind Kamala Harris, hoping to rally her millions of fans to support a candidate she believed in. But instead of applause, Swift was met with a wave of backlash, especially from conservative circles, who accused her of alienating fans with her political stance.
“What did I do wrong?” Swift reportedly asked, echoing the sentiments of someone who thought she was doing the right thing. But in the world of celebrity, it seems even good intentions can turn sour.
