37. Taylor Swift needed a "new market segment" in MAGA? Doubtful.

I don't think I've ever heard a word or chord of her music, nor could I care less about her dating escapades. However, even I know she's the most popular music person on the planet (or something like that). I doubt she's wanting for what one might consider an untapped market segment.

For all anyone knows, she's been quietly funneling millions of dollars to democrats. Just because someone isn't taking credit or blathering endlessly about it on social media doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I'm not defending anyone nor their billionaire status. I just think this is a bad take.
