The collective leftist celebrity freakout over Trump’s second presidential win has been absolutely insane — and delightful.
While a bit muted compared to Donald Trump’s stunning presidential election victory over quintessential D.C. insider Hillary Clinton in 2016, the gnashing of elitist teeth since the Blue Wall’s fall has been GLORIOUS! Especially for an old conservative boy from flyover country.
Not So Swift
It turns out the Taylor Swift endorsement wasn’t as important as the self-important pop star and the easily impressed thought it to be. The Swiftie constituency didn’t make a noticeable difference in the end, despite fawning headlines like, “Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris shows how big a role music is playing in the 2024 election.” Well, not so much.
Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, and others threw their celebrity weight behind Harris. “All the Single Ladies” didn’t drag Harris’ fatuous campaign over the finish line. Beyoncé never did perform for Harris rallygoers, although it would have been fitting for the superstar to open for the vice president’s concession speech.
Swift has had all kinds of things to say about the 45th — and soon to be 47th — president, none of it very nice. As of late Wednesday afternoon, the childless cat lady held her fire.
Not so for so many other celebrities, who clearly need to up their Trump Derangement Syndrome prescriptions.
