Taylor Swift‘s political statement cleared her current stance on who she’s supporting for the Presidential elections this year. Though she earned a lot of praise from fans for supporting the right leader, she’s also been at the other end of receiving harsh criticism from the Republican party.
After getting attacked by J.D. Vance over her political stance, Swift is getting defended by comedian Whoopi Goldberg who responded to Vance’s statement against Swift. Here’s what she said.
J.D. Vance Hits Back At Taylor Swift Over Kamala Harris Endorsement
Donald Trump’s running mate, Republican JD Vance, mocked Taylor Swift for supporting Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the November election after she came out in Harris’ support. He played down the significance of the pop star, referring to her as a “disconnected billionaire” who was oblivious to the issues that the average American faced.

“We admire Taylor Swift’s music, but I don’t think most Americans, whether they like her music or not, are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and problems of most Americans,” Vance told Fox News on Wednesday. Further adding an example he said, “When housing prices become unaffordable, it doesn’t affect Taylor Swift or any other billionaire. It does affect most middle class Americans all over our country.”
Furthermore, Trump also responded to Swift’s support for Harris and said, “I was not a Taylor Swift fan, it was just a question of time. She couldn’t, uh, you couldn’t possibly endorse Biden. You look at Biden, you couldn’t possibly endorse him. But she’s (Swift) a very liberal person, she seems to always endorse a Democrat, and she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.”

Whoopi Goldberg Defends Taylor Swift After J.D. Vance’s Remark
J. D. Vance’s remark against Taylor caught the attention of Whoopi Goldberg, who defended the pop star and her ‘disconnectedness‘ – as Vance phrased it. The comedian spoke on The View and said, “You don’t know what affects her, you don’t know about her money. Shut up, J.D.” She then added, “When we come back, we’re going to talk more about this. I’m sorry, that was very rude. Stop talking, J.D.”
She later continued after the break and said, “The reason I apologized is because I hate when pundits tell me to shut up and it’s not a nice thing to say but I do take it back. But the implication is… hush! We were just talking about how Taylor Swift endorsing Harris-Walz is triggering Republicans. It’s a big deal. It’s really freaking them out.”
