Barstool Sports’ charismatic founder Dave Portnoy openly declared his continued admiration for Taylor Swift despite her recent political endorsement. An avowed “Swiftie,” Portnoy shared that Taylor Swift’s choice to back Vice President Kamala Harris does not sway his personal views of her as an artist and an individual. He emphasized the freedom everyone holds in their voting decisions, stating, “I’m voting the other way but to each their own.”
Swift announced her support for Harris just after a presidential debate, turning to Instagram to communicate her decision to her substantial following. She explained her endorsement by highlighting Harris’s dedication to issues Swift feels passionately about. Additionally, Swift encouraged her followers, especially first-time voters, to engage in the electoral process and provided resources for voter registration and early voting information.
On a related note, Portnoy also clarified his own political stance. In a discussion on Fox Business, he confirmed his support for Donald Trump, citing a lack of better candidates as his reason for this decision. Trump, for his part, responded to Swift’s endorsement with indifference during a Fox & Friends interview, suggesting that Swift’s liberal leanings made her support for Harris predictable and stating she might face repercussions in public opinion for her political expressions.
