Taylor Swift’s New Song Attacks Ron DeSantis’ View of Florida!
As well known for her leftwing views and support of Joe Biden as she is for her Grammys, Taylor Swift’s new song “Florida” paints a very different, dark, and depraved view of the Sunshine State than the one held and promoted by Governor Ron DeSantis.
The song, featuring Florence Welch with Florence + The Machine, depicts the state as an old frontier town – disorderly and dark, with murder, binge drinking, and drugs – the opposite of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ tough “law and order” stance on crime.
“We’re proud of being a law and order state,” DeSantis said last week before Swift’s album dropped as he signed five public safety bills in St. Petersburg.
The governor has repeated the mantra at almost every press conference this spring. Whether it was signing a bill that would allow homeowners to remove squatters from their property or warning spring breakers in Miami, DeSantis has criticized blue states like California and has compared them to Florida.
“What passes muster in New York and California is not passing muster here,” he said when he signed the “Property Rights” bill (HB 621) in Orlando in March.
However, Taylor’s version of “Florida” is quite different. Her lyrics echo the Sunshine State stereotypes that DeSantis has been trying so hard to change. Her lyrics paint a vivid, if not so appealing, portrait of the Sunshine State as a place of sweltering heat with the ever-present scent of weed. Not to mention a place where men and women both go to cheat on their spouses, with “no questions asked.”
She also calls “Florida one hell of a drug.” However, If Taylor is talking about literal drugs, that’s an issue DeSantis and Florida’s lawmakers have continued to crack down on. As far as the smell of Weed, DeSantis has also been quite clear that medical marijuana is as far as he wants to go and does not support the legalization of recreational pot.
In 2020, Swift endorsed Joe Biden for President one month before the elections, but neither she nor her representatives have said if she plans to do so again this year.
Editor’s note: Not really a Taylor fan, but I was inspired by this article to listen to the song and read the lyrics of the song. I can’t help but think the lyrics were written by someone with bipolar disorder, depressing, depicting an unstable person. Made me cringe. My two cents…
Taylor swift is just another liberal cunt. The bitch did well for someone with a flat voice. Her early teenybopper songs were cute but now she’s just another political hack
Taylor Swift’s comment, songs, political views and everything else about her mean SQUAT to me.
Just another left Wing hack entertainer
it’s going to rain on her parade and KARMA will get her sooner or later
Another fake Christian who is a child of Satan and Taylor is guaranteed going to hell.
She is not a American or for the American people, Maybe she could go to China to sing, see how well her songs will go there. She act, s like a little kid., You know she cant have a brain, she likes Biden.
Taylor Swift is the recipient of our capitalistic system and doesn’t appreciate that she has a forum to earn “boatloads” of money! She has tunnel vision when it comes to appreciating the greatness of this once great nation! Now let me see….what are the 3 entities that will bring down a person faster than anything (just ask Ms. Houston): Oh yeah…power, money (fame) and sex!! That’s the ticket! Ms. Swift has NO authority to lecture us about a “brave new world”! She has a God given talent and doesn’t appreciate or realize as much! Ms. Swift, I live in Florida and you need to keep your damn little mouth shut about my governor! If you’re going to open your mouth, just sing damn it and leave to prognostications to we constitutional conservatives that understand the big picture!
Well, if she is so smart and gifted, she should help DeSantis figure our sweltering heat and then maybe head to Alaska to fix the bitter cold in the winter! Just saying…..!
