The rest of the comments are jokes. But this is really great news.

Taylor Swift is one of the most influential people on this planet. And she sings Country music—which often has fans that skew conservative.

When “The Dixie Chicks” spoke out against George W. Bush 20 years ago, it tanked their singing career.

Even Dolly Parton takes what happened to the Dixie Chicks as a sign that she has to be politically neutral.

Taylor Swift taking a stance is a huge win.

I thought it meant "Dixie Chicks took a stance and their careers tanked" ergo "Tay Tay taking a stance will tank her career", thus "good for the environment if she's no longer taking 16 private jet trips a week"

then I saw the .ee

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
