Recent rumors claim that Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris after the Trump-Harris debate on September 11th negatively impacted her career. Following Trump’s unbothered reaction on Fox News, he later posted on Truth Social, stating, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,” which sparked backlash from both sides. Reports suggested Swift would face significant declines in music sales, ticket sales, and social media following, especially among her Republican fans.
An NBC poll indicated a drop in support from Republican voters, with many now viewing Swift negatively. The poll showed that after she endorsed Harris, 47% of Republicans held unfavourable views of her, up from 26% last year.
However, Hollywood All conducted a detailed fact-check of the claims being circulated and found most of them to be false. Below is a breakdown of the results:
Fact-Checked Claims:
- Claim: Taylor Swift’s ticket sales have plummeted – False.
Despite the rumors, Swift’s Eras Tour continues to sell out worldwide. Tickets are in high demand, with many concerts selling out within minutes. There is no decline in her tour sales, which remain record-breaking. - Claim: Taylor Swift lost Instagram followers – False.
Instead of losing followers, Swift has gained over 2 million followers on Instagram since endorsing Harris. Additionally, Spotify confirmed that she gained over 2 million new listeners in just one week following her political involvement. - Claim: Taylor Swift lost her spot on the Forbes Billionaire List – False.
Contrary to claims that she was removed from Forbes’ list, Swift’s net worth has actually risen. As of the latest update, she is ranked 24th on the America’s Self-Made Women list with a net worth of $1.6 billion. This indicates no financial downturn. - Claim: Swift has suffered market setbacks due to losing Republican fans – False.
While it’s true that Swift’s favorability among Republicans has declined according to recent polls, this has not impacted her overall market performance. There is no significant loss in fanbase or allegiance, and her music sales remain strong.
Conclusion:
Except for the poll showing a dip in favorability among Republicans, all other claims of Taylor Swift’s career taking a hit are false. She continues to thrive both financially and in her musical endeavours, maintaining a strong global fanbase and breaking sales records.
