In a recent episode of her DailyWire podcast, conservative speaker and documentary filmmaker Candace Owens launched a blistering critique of pop superstar Taylor Swift.

Owens accused Swift of manipulating her young fanbase for personal gain and injecting liberal politics into her music, branding the singer’s approach as “toxic feminism.”

“She’s the most harmful feminist that has ever existed,” Owens declared, setting the stage for a comprehensive takedown. “What she does is essentially, the threat is if she doesn’t get what she wants, she writes a song about a guy and then has 15 million girls sing the tunes and drops little hints so they know who it’s about. It’s absolutely insane when you think about it.”

Owens’ criticism centered around Swift’s alleged use of her music to publicly address her personal grievances, particularly her past relationships.

Owens argued that Swift’s tendency to write songs about her ex-boyfriends and other personal experiences is manipulative and sets a poor example for her impressionable audience.

“I genuinely want to believe that you truly appreciate how maniacal it is if you can’t go two weeks without writing a song about your dating history,” Owens continued.

She referenced Swift’s past high-profile relationships and the songs that followed, such as her rumored tracks about John Mayer.

Owens asserted that Swift’s influence extends beyond just her music, claiming that Swift uses her platform to promote liberal politics and “poisonous” ideologies. She accused the singer of embedding political messages in her songs and public statements, thereby influencing her young fans’ political beliefs.

“Taylor Swift’s ‘toxic feminism’ is crippling women for generations,” Owens said. “She’s using her massive platform to push a narrative that victimizes women, instead of empowering them. And these young girls hang on her every word, believing that the only way to handle a breakup or a setback is to broadcast it to the world through a song.”

The conservative commentator did not hold back in her assessment of Swift’s impact on her fanbase, portraying the singer as a self-centered figure who exploits her personal life for public sympathy and commercial success. Owens suggested that Swift’s approach is not only detrimental to her own image but also harmful to her fans, who may emulate her behavior.

While Owens’ comments have sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with many Swift fans rushing to the singer’s defense, others have supported Owens’ viewpoint, agreeing that celebrities should be mindful of the messages they send to their followers.

Swift, known for her passionate and loyal fanbase, has not publicly responded to Owens’ remarks. However, the controversy has certainly ignited a conversation about the role of celebrities in shaping public opinion and the responsibility they hold in their public and private lives.

As the debate continues, it’s clear that Owens’ comments have struck a nerve, drawing attention to the broader discourse on feminism, celebrity influence, and the intersection of politics and entertainment. The full impact of her statements remains to be seen, but they have undoubtedly added fuel to the ongoing conversation about Taylor Swift’s role in popular culture.

For now, fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see if Swift responds and how this controversy will unfold in the coming days.
