Why can't Republicans be normal about Taylor Swift?

Some right-wing commentators, like Charlie Kirk, said Taylor Swift’s engagement to Travis Kelce means she’s turning into a tradwife... wrong! I’m breaking down why Taylor’s love life isn’t a conservative turn at all, why her relationship represents a fantasy for single women and how pundits are twisting this to support their anti-feminist talking points. Even if you are not a Swiftie, you’re sure to get something out of this culture war conversation. Author Lyz Lenz also joins the conversation.
