    This is not “breaking news” under any circumstances.

    Glad she’s supporting kamala and using her influence, but that being said the celebrity worship nonsense is silly. Not breaking news.

      I mean she is probably the most popular pop star in the world, so I think it is breaking news if it helps the disenfranchised youth vote for Kamala over Trump.

      Unfortunately celebrity worship is influence, and influence is the key in elections. No influence, no vote. It is power. And the amount of influential power Taylor swift has is absolutely staggering. I wouldn’t be surprised if her endorsing kamala brings in tens if not hundreds of thousands of voters to register.

        I’m skeptical that the kinds of people that would be swayed to vote for Kamala solely due to Taylor Swifts endorsement, are the kinds of people who see breaking news on NBC.

        It’s not breaking news, which was my OP LOL. She could probably have the intended effect on tik tok and Twitter.

        But still, I don’t really care, if it gets more votes against trump I’m all for it.

        It ain’t breaking news though LOL. Putin launching a nuke is breaking news.

      Yeah, the fact that I keep seeing this as breaking, or important, news makes me want to break into a broadcast center and pull a “The Network”.
