Problematic Women: Taylor Swift Isn’t Political Enough for Marie Claire
Kelsey Bolar /
Women’s magazine Marie Claire has a problem with Taylor Swift: According to it, the songstress is not political enough.
“Taylor is not required to be open about her politics, of course, but it’s also fair to question her decision to remain silent in what was a particularly contentious and consequential presidential battle,” wrote Kayleigh Roberts in a piece for the magazine.
Like any good businesswoman, Swift, who released her new album “Reputation” this week, has stayed away from overt political statements throughout her successful career. But to Marie Claire, that’s problematic, which is why this week, The Daily Signal is crowning Swift the “Problematic Women of the Week.”
