You know, I have to admit I’m not a terribly big fan of Taylor Swift.  I don’t actively dislike her, or even hate her music.  She makes perfectly decent pop music.  But there is this sort of cult of personality that surrounds her that I admit I’m kind of wary of.  Because it’s that same kind of cult of personality that made someone like Donald Trump possible. Not that I would put Trump and Taylor on the same playing field.  I mean, at least Taylor Swift works very hard for everything the has.  But she has a very real power to mobilize people, both her fans and her “squad” of celebrities.  She’s more than just a tastemaker.  She controls a narrative.  She reminds me of the popular girl in High School, but on a MUCH grander scale.  And the GOP is feeling the weight of that after she made a plea to her fans to register to vote, and to vote against Trump’s Republicanism.  Seriously, if Tennessee sees the effect of a blue wave in the midterms, Taylor Swift will have had a very calculable effect on that.  As it turns out, if Taylor Swift tells people to vote Democrat, they’ll do it.  The Dems may have just found their 2020 candidate against Trump….
