Is Taylor Swift promoting white supremacy?

“Criticism is never pleasant,” the ACLU says in its letter, “but a celebrity has to shake it off, even if the critique may damage her reputation.” The blog’s claims about Swift don’t constitute defamation, “not even in your wildest dreams,” the letter says. “Shake It Off” and “Wildest Dreams” are Swift hit songs, while “Reputation” is the name of her upcoming album.

The original PopFront article pointed to Swift’s lyrics in “Look What You Made Me Do” in which she says, “I don’t like your kingdom keys. They once belonged to me.” The blog viewed the lyrics as an echo of the white supremacist chant, “You will not replace us.” In a music video for the song, the blog said, “Taylor lords over an army of models from a podium, akin to what Hitler had in Nazis Germany. The similarities are uncanny and unsettling.”
