Taylor Swift isn’t exactly the most liked person in music due to her penchant for throwing rocks and hiding her hand, (See Kim Kardashian exposing her for lying about not being told about a music video she’d be depicted in) but that doesn’t mean she should be used as a free for all punching bag, either. She just did an interview with Vogue for her cover story where she talked about why she didn’t endorse Hillary Clinton which seemed to draw the ire of Kid Rock.

Unprovoked, Kid Rock tweeted, “Taylor Swift wants to be a democrat because she wants to be in movies….period. And it looks like she will suck the door knob off Hollyweird to get there. Oldest move in the book. Good luck girl. -Kid Rock.”

And as for what she said about not endorsing Hillary, she said, “Unfortunately in the 2016 election you had a political opponent who was weaponizing the idea of the celebrity endorsement,” speaking of the President without stating his name.

“He was going around saying, ‘I’m a man of the people. I’m for you. I care about you.’ I just knew. I knew I wasn’t going to help,” she recalled. “Also, you know, the summer before that election, all people were saying was: ‘[Taylor Swift’s] calculated. She’s manipulative. She’s not what she seems. She’s a snake. She’s a liar.’ These are the same exact insults people were hurling at Hillary [Clinton].”

“Would I be an endorsement or would I be a liability?” Swift also told Vogue, explaining why she couldn’t be outspoken about a presidential candidate.

“Look, snakes of a feather flock together. Look, the two lying women. The two nasty women. Literally millions of people were telling me to disappear. So I disappeared. In many senses,” she said.

That was a relatively smart decision. At the time she was being pushed constantly to comment on some things politically and she refused. Our stance is the same today is it was then. The same way people have been upset that A$AP Rocky hasn’t taken the political stance people want him to, let these people do their jobs and quit trying to drag them into political and social issues. It simply isn’t for everyone. And Kid, please do better.

Chrissy Teigen chimed in to offer support by leaving a two word response to the matter tweeting, ‘you’re pathetic. – Chrissy Teigen.’ Let’s all do better, people. Seriously. And Kid, you can be a supporter of the President without being this level of nasty.
