The pop singer told the Rolling Stone that “really racist, horrific undertones” are “now becoming overtones in our political climate,” and said it was “disgusting” that a white nationalist website claimed she was on their side.
“There’s literally nothing worse than white supremacy. It’s repulsive. There should be no place for it,” she declared. “Really, I keep trying to learn as much as I can about politics, and it’s become something I’m now obsessed with, whereas before, I was living in this sort of political ambivalence, because the person I voted for had always won.”
"We were in such an amazing time when Obama was president because foreign nations respected us. We were so excited to have this dignified person in the White House. My first election was voting for him when he made it into office, and then voting to re-elect him. I think a lot of people are like me, where they just didn’t really know that this could happen. But I’m just focused on the 2020 election. I’m really focused on it. I’m really focused on how I can help and not hinder. Because I also don’t want it to backfire again, because I do feel that the celebrity involvement with Hillary’s campaign was used against her in a lot of ways."
As Fox & Friends noted that Swift called Barack Obama’s presidency an “amazing time” when America was respected by foreign nations, Brian Kilmeade countered by blaming Obama for the Russian invasion of Georgia (which happened during the Bush administration) and the annexation of Crimea.
Steve Doocy also noted that Swift used part of her interview to condemn a white nationalist website that claimed she was on their side. This concluded with him asking Fox viewers if they still want to buy her stuff now that she’s doing this.
