I don't listen to much in the way of pop music, and just
the impages of the endless parade of Pop Tarts pretty much
repels me, so I don't care to hear what they're singing.

Though someone asserted that all her songs are about her

her political endorsements are in character.

 I'm not a Swiftie either, though she seems pleasant enough,
and it helps that she aligns with me against Trump.
 After her endorsement, I dropped into a pro-Trump reddit
sub to see how they were taking it. There was one thread
which probably deserved a prize for Cleverest Title of the Year:
 "Woman who made career singing about her bad choices chooses Harris"

Actually nearly all singers, no matter the genre sing about
bad choices that someone made, not necessaritly the singer. The
blues are full of angst about this and so is Country and Western,
popular ballads and Rock & Roll including punk rock. Oh and I
nearly left out Folk Music but it is full of bad choices that
some other possibly fictional character made. "Bow down your
head, Tom Duley, poor boy about to die", just off top of my head.
As you might guess from my age I have not been in tight contact
with the music scene as I was 50 years ago and earlier

 I couldn't help but smile.

She has made herself a billionaire I understand with her
singing unlike Trump who started as a multi-millionaire and tries
to pretend he was a successful business man while losing money
and going bankrupt multiple times to avoid paying his bills.
Prediction:
Someday soon the survivors of this time will begin
singing songs about the bad choices Trump and his MAGA party
have made. It will likely be folk music.  We could do one or
more about the bad choices Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee
made.
