Hillary Clinton compliments Taylor Swift and criticizes Elon Musk for being creepy.

At a time when Taylor Swift is facing backlash from Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and more MAGA supporters, Hillary Clinton is throwing her support behind the pop star.

During a discussion about the 2024 presidential election on Kara Swisher’s podcast, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed her admiration for Taylor Swift’s recent endorsement of Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. Despite facing criticism and negativity from political figures like Trump, Clinton believes Swift’s endorsement carries significant impact.

Clinton highlighted Swift’s strong influence over her dedicated fanbase and praised the singer for her resilience and courage in various public battles, from standing up against sexual harassment to fighting for ownership of her music masters.

Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris came shortly after a presidential debate, where she not only showed support for the Vice President but also called out false representations of her political beliefs by the Trump campaign. This prompted negative responses from Trump and Musk, with the former even threatening that Swift would “pay a price” for her stance.

Clinton criticized Musk’s response to Swift’s endorsement as “rotten and creepy,” questioning the motivations behind such reactions from right-wing conservatives. She highlighted Swift’s positive impact on her audience, particularly girls and women, and suggested that those who oppose her values may be threatened by her success and influence.

In a candid conversation with Swisher, Clinton expressed bewilderment at the negativity directed towards Swift, especially from figures like Musk, whom she likened to “saying rape” in his remarks towards the singer. The discussion shed light on the complexities of celebrity endorsements in politics and the power dynamics at play.

As the debate around Swift’s political stance continues to evolve, Clinton’s support for the singer serves as a testament to the importance of using one’s platform for advocacy and empowerment. Listen to Clinton’s insights on Swift’s endorsement in the podcast below.
