Is Taylor Swift a MAGA girl now? 

Published



Taylor Swift’s new album is polarizing its listeners — and even some of Swift’s die-hard fans. Its lyrics aren’t resonating like they used to, and with selections such as “Did you girl-boss too close to the sun?” and “But I’m not a bad b**** and this isn’t savage,” it’s not hard to see why.

But the most controversial song on the pop star’s album is not “Wood,” the one where she sings about, um, her football-playing fiancé’s skills (and not with carpentry). The songs that have been drawing the most ire from fans are “CANCELLED!” and “Wi$h Li$t,” two fairly benign tracks that have got some corners of the internet screaming “MAGA.”
