A mother is making headlines after deciding to sell three Taylor Swift concert tickets she had purchased for her daughter’s 13th birthday. The reason? Swift’s public endorsement of Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. In a viral video shared on social media, the woman expressed her frustration with the pop star’s political stance and “non-Christian beliefs,” stating that she no longer wanted to support Swift.

Addressing Taylor Swift directly, the mother explained that she had originally bought the tickets for the Toronto leg of the Eras Tour as a special gift for her daughter, who had long been a fan of the singer. However, Swift’s recent support for Harris during the political campaign shifted the woman’s perspective. She criticized Swift for being out of touch with everyday Americans and for using private planes, echoing recent comments made by political figures such as JD Vance. She also voiced concerns about the potential economic impact of a Harris presidency, claiming that it would negatively affect not only the U.S. economy but also Swift’s career.
The mom’s video included strong political opinions, as she praised former President Donald Trump, calling him “the right guy for the job.” She argued that a struggling economy would mean fewer people could afford to attend Swift’s concerts, potentially hurting the singer’s livelihood.
Swift, known for her political activism in recent years, publicly endorsed Kamala Harris following a recent debate. In her endorsement, Swift praised Harris for championing causes she supports, such as LGBTQ rights and women’s rights. The singer’s endorsement led to an increase in traffic to vote.gov, as many of her fans responded to her call for civic engagement.

The mother, however, took issue with Swift’s stance, suggesting that the singer lacked an open mind. She went on to say that a Trump administration would not threaten abortion access or LGBTQ rights, adding that a “believer” would not support abortion. In a dramatic conclusion to the video, the mom referenced Swift’s hit song “Shake It Off,” saying, “so with that, I’m gonna shake it off, and I’m done with you.”
