Meghan McCain Really Wants Taylor Swift To Be a Commie

Meghan McCain likes to front that she’s some sort of firebrand conservative provocateur, and in fairness, she does buck the whims of the Republican Party by being a vocal critic of Donald Trump. That is not nothing. But at the end of the day, Meghan always comes home to roost. Whether that’s taking up the party line on COVID measures after years of slamming anti-vaxxers, or in today’s case, coming after Taylor Swift, America’s #1 Nepo Baby will always go where the sh*t-winds blow.

For a quick refresher, the Right had a freakout over Swift when it became clear that her boyfriend’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, was heading to this year’s Super Bowl and the superstar artist would no doubt be in attendance. Despite the fact that Swift already has a massive platform at her immediate disposal and routinely performs at sold-out stadiums around the globe, America’s most brain-smoothed party was convinced that Swift’s presence was orchestrated by the CIA so she could endorse Joe Biden during the big game and perform some light satanism, as a treat. Notably, none of that happened, but it did put Swift in the same ranks as Bud Light in the Culture Wars.

Meanwhile, on the Far Left, Taylor Swift hasn’t said the words “Free Palestine,” and she committed the unpardonable sin of being loved by middle-school girls and wine moms (a.k.a. cringe), so she must be burnt at the stake at all costs. This dynamic has caused an endless stream of conspiracy theories, and because Meghan is an online creature, you’ll often find her horfing back social media sewer water like Jell-O shots between AK-47 rounds.

All of this brings us to the latest episode of Citizen McCain, where Meghan displayed her free-thinking bonafides by blindly regurgitating some crap she saw on her phone. In this particular case, the butt-stupid theory that Taylor Swift is “blocking” other artists from being #1 on the charts. We’ll circle back to that in a bit, but here’s Meghan’s caterwauling.

Via The Wrap:

“I read a tweet that said, ‘If ‘Thriller’ was coming out next week, Taylor would release another album to stop it from reaching No. 1,’” McCain said. “Like, my question is just, you are Taylor Swift, you are Elvis-level, Beatles-level. You are the greatest of all time, one of the greatest ever in American history.”

“And I do think if you are rounding the bases of being 35 and you are the greatest ever, and there are some people coming up that could have their first No. 1 and you have the power to let them have No. 1 or not, I just don’t know how classy it is, and I also think that karmically, I think you’re messing with some stuff.”

“And that, again, I get that this is, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ is, you know, doing this well, whatever. But I do think that, like, maybe more focus on music and art instead of, like, scoring, like, putting checks on a scoreboard is interesting. I didn’t even know this was a thing until recently, and then it was all over my Twitter and my TikTok,” McCain went on.

Where to even begin here? Like I said earlier, Meghan is squawking about the pervasive theory that Taylor Swift is somehow preventing other artists from reaching the top of the charts by strategically releasing variants of her songs. There’s just one small problem: Every single artist does this.

In this particular case, Meghan was latching onto the latest example that Swift blocked Charli XCX by releasing a variant to block Charli’s new album. This theory immediately falls apart for several reasons: 1. Taylor missed the album release by a full week because Swift’s variant was timed for her U.K. tour, which is standard practice. 2. Charli is currently releasing variants of her own because, again, standard practice. And 3. Charli is already telling online weirdos to knock it off because, stop me if you’ve heard this before, all of this is standard practice.

As for why Meghan latched onto this particular topic, well, it’s the old saying: No one hates women like Republican women. As for why this theory has taken off on the Far Left, well, same reason. Again, Taylor Swift is popular, and therefore, must be taken down even if it requires demonstrably false Mean Girl narratives where she orchestrates the demise of her contemporaries whenever she’s not getting her kicks by personally melting polar ice caps with her private jet. Everything is on the table when the cool kids of Twitter put a target on your back.

Swerving back to the headline, for someone who hasn’t met a piece of jingoistic red meat she won’t hungrily chomp onto, Meghan’s argument sure sounds like commie talk to me. Taylor Swift is a captain of industry, and Meghan thinks she should just not be the best because other people deserve a piece of the pie? Welcome to the revolution, My Father the Comrade.

Shockingly, Meghan’s podcast producer actually pushed back with a similar remark, which is a bold move considering her boss spent years screaming in Joy Behar’s ear that she loves guns and drinking.

“I think when it comes to her own career, I don’t think she should have to make sacrifices so that someone like Billie Eilish can have a bigger success or beat a record,” Ashley Digiacomo said. “If you wanna beat a record, beat the record. I wouldn’t want someone to let me win. I would want to win. I would want to beat her outright.”

Does it really surprise anyone that Meghan McCain thinks the solution to a problem is to just hand somebody something that they haven’t earned? Gosh, where could she have possibly learned that?
