Was Taylor Swift dropped from music services Spotify and iTunes after endorsing two Democrats in the Tennessee midterm elections? No, that's not true: the claim was made up by a liberal satire page on Facebook looking to troll conservatives and Trump supporters into sharing fake news. It is not real.
The story originated from a post with a meme image published on October 9, 2018 by a Facebook page named "America's Last Line Of Defense " (archived here) with following text:
SO MUCH HAPPENS ON HOLIDAYS!!
The caption on the meme read:
In response to Taylor Swift's anti-Republican remarks,
Spotify & iTunes have dropped all of her songs from their playlists.
This will cost her $millions.
However Swift is definitely still available on iTunes and also on Spotify:
Which makes sense since the Facebook page that originally published the meme has an "Info" tab that reads like this:
Info
Nothing on this page is real. It is a collection of the satirical whimsies of liberal trolls masquerading as conservatives. You have been warned.
Colofon
Use the force and the truth shall reveal itself. Just not here. Ever.
Producten
Good Old Fashioned Liberal Troll Provided Fantasy presented as comedy to the left and a social experiment to the right. Please don't hurt the Trumpanzees. they'll be gone in a few years back to the shadows from whence they came and we'll be back to trolling Tea Turds.
