Fox hosts and guests have spent recent weeks warning Taylor Swift not to get involved in politics, but the network has a history of enlisting D-list celebrities to do just that. Whether discussing inflation with Pauly D or asking Larry the Cable Guy for his election predictions, Fox News and Fox Business have been eager to let any vaguely famous person weigh in on politics — so long as they support a right-wing agenda.

    As a democracy, everyone should be involved in politics whether that person is poor or rich or famous. They’re just further showing how they only want the “right people” to have political power.

      Ironically, the main exception is news networks. Fox, not Taylor Swift, should stay out of politics. Just stick to the facts, please. Editorials should be relegated to small dedicated segments with multiple visual cues to make it clear that the current bit is an opinion.

      I’ve started thanking places that don’t have fox news on in the waiting room. Most recently, urgent care had cooking shows on, and another medical provider had HGTV.

    Even if Taylor doesn’t say a thing…

    Telling her to stay out of it is going to have the same result on the Swifties.

    They’d be better off just never saying her name, but conservatives can never keep their mouths shut

    I love her shows. It’s so awesome when the mosh pit starts, and she screams HAIL SATAN into the microphone and then they spray pig blood into the crowd

        Ah yes, the sacrificial bloodletting performed at the Altar Of The Wretched. She usually does it right after singing Lover from her 2019 album of the same name. A timeless masterpiece!

    How rich is that. A news entertainment group is telling a musical entertainer to stay out of politics.

    How about you take your own advice FOX “News”?
