Of course, not all of Taylor Swift’s fans have abandoned her. In fact, her more politically aligned supporters are doubling down on their love for the pop star, praising her for using her platform to speak out on important issues. “Taylor’s doing the right thing,” said one die-hard Swiftie. “She’s standing up for what she believes in, and if people don’t like it, that’s their problem.”
But this division within the fanbase has led to a new kind of tension—one that Swift herself may not be able to mend. On social media, Swifties are now at war with one another, debating whether or not their queen has strayed too far from her music roots.
“Music is supposed to bring people together,” wrote one fan on Twitter. “But now, I feel like Taylor’s driving us apart. I used to come to her concerts to escape politics, not to be reminded of it.”
The controversy has also spilled over into the media, with pundits weighing in on whether or not celebrities should stay out of politics altogether. “Taylor Swift is a perfect example of why musicians should stick to singing,” said one commentator. “The second they start endorsing candidates, they lose the one thing that made them great: their ability to unite people through music.”
So where does Taylor Swift go from here? The pop star has yet to publicly address the sharp decline in concert attendance, but insiders say she’s well aware of the backlash and is “devastated” by the response.
“She thought her fans would rally behind her,” said one source close to the singer. “She didn’t expect this kind of backlash. It’s been a real wake-up call.”
For now, Swift seems to be focused on finishing her Eras Tour, though whether or not she’ll be performing to empty arenas remains to be seen. Some have speculated that Swift may even cancel the remaining dates of the tour, citing “personal reasons,” though no official announcement has been made.
