New in PJ Media:
The core fact is not in dispute: Taylor Swift, a wildly popular singer, actually got booed at the Super Bowl. While other such incidents have been the occasions of heated dispute as to whether the boos were louder than the cheers or vice versa, in this case, both leftists and patriots have admitted that Swift got booed. Why exactly she was booed, however, is a matter of considerable dispute, and now the far-left Glamour magazine has come up with a theory that is as bizarre and ridiculous as it was predictable: it’s all the fault of one Donald J. Trump of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. If you didn’t see that coming, you’ve been asleep since 2015.
On Monday, I published an article entitled “Taylor Swift Summed Up What the Left Is Thinking After Three Weeks of Trump,” about how the booing of Swift, an enthusiastic backer of both Old Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, was just another indication of the weakening of the left’s stranglehold on American popular culture. Many commenters, however, insisted that Swift was only booed because she is linked romantically with Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, and the New Orleans Superdome, where the Super Bowl was played, was filled with many more fans of the Philadelphia Eagles (or “Elgses,” as Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker spells it) than of the Chiefs.
That may be all there was to it, but as I showed in that article, a poll showed that Swift suffered a clear decline in support after making her far-left views overtly known, and now Glamour magazine, approaching the issue from the opposite side of the political spectrum, has agreed that the booing of Swift had at least something to do with her politics. Glamour, however, goes much further than that and claims that the whole incident is yet more indication of the baneful cultural influence of Orange Man Bad.
Yes, it’s absurd. Of course, it’s absurd. This is the left we’re talking about.
Full of the left’s usual presumption, arrogance, and hysteria, Glamour entitled its article, which came out Monday, “Why Taylor Swift Getting Booed at the Super Bowl was Even More Chilling Than You Think.” Now, wait a minute. Taylor Swift getting booed was “chilling”? And Glamour is so certain of that fact that it assumes that its hapless readers will undoubtedly agree?
That’s only the beginning of the craziness. “Since Donald Trump took office,” writes author Stephanie McNeal, no doubt daubing the tears from her cheeks all the while, “there have been several times I felt chilled by the rapid increase in misogyny seeping in our culture. But watching Taylor Swift at Super Bowl LIX booed by a crowd of thousands on Sunday night was a new low.” And you thought it was all because she was a Chiefs fan. Come on, man!
There is more. Read the rest here.

I like Taylor Swift as a person, a beautiful child of God. This could be the wake up call that she needed. “What’s going on her?” is a question she might consider by looking in the mirror. Does she see herself as a child of God or something very different. So different that she needs to re-evaluate who she is, to herself. She has a great future if she does so and commits herself to our Creator not to His creation.

She’s not just pro-Abortion, but also pro-Trans. When she endorsed Kamala last year, her reason was Tim Walz and his state allowing minors to come into the state for the trans surgeries and separating them from parents who objected. Either she’s totally ignorant, or more likely, supported that ticked for precisely this reason
I was never much of a fan of her music, so don’t care

“Rapid increase in misogyny seeping in our culture?” Apparently Glamour’s not heard about Pam Bondi, Secretary Noem, or Tulsi Gabbard.
