Does Taylor Swift Want To Be a Genuine US President?
Imagine cleaning out your basement, finding what appears to be a charming but unremarkable painting, then scratching its surface to discover a Frida Kahlo self-portrait beneath. In 2012, Taylor Swift was a prominent country music artist with crossover appeal, but not a major force in entertainment. Then came the Red album and the genius began to appear. Comparisons with Mozart are now more commonplace and understood, and universities teach courses on her. She occupies the same kind of status as Madonna and Michael Jackson in the 1980s and 1990s and, earlier, Elvis Presley and the Beatles. The Kahlo is now visible. Is there yet another layer?
Swift’s recent endorsement of United States presidential candidate Kamala Harris may conceal more than it reveals. After all, everyone knew her political allegiances lay with Democrats; none of her 284 million Instagram followers or anyone else would have been surprised that she wants Harris to win the forthcoming election. Maybe the endorsement is something more: advance notice that Swift intends to become a political presence in the future. If so, she could run for president in 2028. By then, she’ll be 39 years old. John F. Kennedy was 43 when he was elected in 1960, making him the youngest elected president in US history.
A new day?
Preposterous as it sounds, remember: In May 2015, Donald Trump was known principally for the NBC television show, The Apprentice, which he had fronted since 2004. He’d made his political views well-known, taking out full page ads in The New York Times and The Washington Post criticizing US foreign policy in 1987. In 1999, Trump briefly explored running for the Reform Party’s nomination for president in the 2000 election, though he withdrew.
So when Trump announced his candidacy as a Republican in June 2015, it came as an outrageous surprise. He’d never held political office of any kind. Only one other president had been elected without political experience: Dwight Eisenhower’s background as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe during World War II provided him skills that translated well to the presidency. He served two terms as president, from 1953 to 1961.
Eisenhower was a product of a different age in US politics. Trump is very much part of an age when the US struggles with a political bipolarity: Policy vs passion, logic vs emotion, wisdom vs relatability. Politicians are elected as much for celebrity appeal as leadership capability. Voters seem ready to believe they are much the same thing. How otherwise can we explain Trump’s success in 2016?
Two years after Trump’s election, Oprah Winfrey seemed poised to turn the 2020 election into a showbusiness extravaganza when she said she was “actively thinking” about running for president. At least, that was the inference from her speech at the Golden Globes. “A new day is on the horizon,” she prophesied. In 2018, Oprah was at her persuasive peak. She was arguably the single most influential person in the world and would have made a formidable contender, despite her political inexperience. Oprah was a rare celebrity, praised for her moral authority, venerated for her inspiration and respected for her support to countless women. She seemed kissed with purpose — her destiny was surely the White House.
Trump actually named Oprah as a possible running mate when he was considering putting himself forward with the Reform Party in 1999; it’s doubtful she would have been interested. She settled into a kind of trusted advisor role, dispensing wisdom and assistance without showing any ambition for power. Today, Oprah has lost her momentum, though her coruscating endorsement of Harris was a reminder of her presence. She remains an interested party.
Celebrity times and celebrity politicians
Traditional politicians like senators and governors have, in recent years, lost immediacy. They project personae and exude authority in a carefully stylized and practiced manner, using the media in almost the same way Bill Clinton (president 1993–2001) or George W. Bush (president 2001–2009) did. By contrast, figures from entertainment know how to make themselves believable. They engage audiences by sharing ostensibly private insights and exchange the experiences that shape or scar them.
Swift, like other celebs, makes no attempt to separate her public face from her private life. She surpasses arguably every artist in history in her ability to share personal experiences through her music. Her fans wax about how her music speaks to them personally with insight and vision. Many of her fans are too young to vote now, but not in four years.
Some readers will think I’ve stumbled Lewis Carrol-like down a rabbit hole leading to a land of magic and strange logic. I remind them that in 2016, Trump secured 304 electoral votes compared to opponent Hillary Clinton’s 227, winning the presidency. He may yet be re-elected. Swift will not feel intimidated by her lack of political worldliness, sophistication or practical knowledge. After all, Trump had none of these benefits.
In 2018, Swift publicly supported Democrats in her home state of Tennessee, causing a surge in voting registrations, especially from young people. It was the first sign of political engagement among her fans. The following year, she spoke out in favor of the Equality Act. In her 2019 music video for “You Need to Calm Down,” she promoted the petition for the act. She was an active supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement as well.
So perhaps it makes sense for her to maintain her positions on the sidelines and encourage advocates, but without risking what could be a damaging misstep. A-listers like Barbra Streisand and George Clooney have stayed in their own dominion while earnestly making their political preferences heard. This would be Swift’s safest choice. After all, you can have too much of a good thing and no one in history has ever been as ubiquitous, audibly as well as visibly. Could audiences just get sick of her?
One of the verities of celebrity culture is that it values change, freshness and novelty. Swift has been on top longer than most. Maybe she recognizes this herself and is already plotting a segue into politics. A more logical move, however, would be to take action. Not that this is without perils: Madonna crashed as spectacularly as she succeeded in cinema. Celebrity times demand celebrity politicians — or politicians who are prepared to greet Oprah’s “new day” and entertain as much as govern.
The sanest thing to happen to the US
In showbusiness, Swift has reached Parnassian heights: astral record sales, unsurpassable box office and unbelievable social media followings. Artistically and commercially, she is at her zenith, cleverly integrating critiques of patriarchy into her songs when she conveys how even unmistakably successful women are still liable to run into misogyny.
But is it all just too trivial? The state of the world is grim and nothing Swift does will change that right now. But the winds are blowing in her direction: The post-Harvey Weinstein tremors have destabilized patriarchy and the #MeTo movement remains a force. Would Sean Combs have met with instant condemnation and been reassigned as persona non grata were his transgressions known ten years ago? Censured, castigated, deplored, perhaps; but probably not canceled, as he surely will be. The historical privileges of manhood are disappearing.
Will Swift feel like culture-hopping from music to politics? It may be a leap too far, but no one can ignore her unstoppable influence. Much, I believe, depends on the outcome of the November election. If Harris wins, Swift will devote more time to championing her, perhaps closing the distance between herself and the Democrats, but not maneuvering into the political mainstream. If Trump wins instead, Swift may take the leap of faith and embrace the impossible, as giddily disturbing as this sounds today. Given modern America’s history, Swift’s leap could be the sanest thing to happen to the US.

A dissident freed by Russia in the biggest prisoner swap since the Cold War has vowed to return to the country.
Vladimir Kara-Murza told the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg he thought he was being “led out to be executed” during his release in Siberia last month.
The dual British-Russian citizen realised he was one of 24 prisoners to be freed in the exchange when he was on the plane.
But in his first joint interview with his wife Evgenia in Europe since they reunited, he defiantly reveals to the BBC that he plans to return to Russia.
“You know, when our plane was taking off from Vnukovo airport in Moscow en route to Ankara on 1 August, the FSB [Russian Federal Security Service] officer who was my personal escort sitting next to me turned to me and said, ‘Look out the window, this is the last time you’re seeing your motherland,’” he told me.
“And I just laughed in his face, and I said, ‘Look, man, I am a historian, I don’t just think, I don’t just believe, I know that I’ll be back home in Russia, and it’s going to happen much sooner than you can imagine.’”
Kara-Murza, one of the Kremlin’s most vocal critics, was held in solitary confinement in a high security jail after receiving a 25-year sentence in April 2023 on charges of high treason.
The full interview will air on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.
Lauren JohansenMore than 200 children across England, who suffer from chronic or life limiting conditions, have been taken to Disneyland Paris by some of the capital’s black cab drivers.
The trip is now in its 30th year and aims to provide some light relief for the children during difficult times, the organisers said.
Cabbie, Phil Davis said: “It’s a challenge but we all do it to see a smile on their face.”
Families arrived at Disneyland Paris on Friday evening after setting off from Canary Wharf earlier that day.
“We brought a child here five years ago, knowing he was in palliative care and his mother said he can go on whatever he wants in Disneyland.
“He went four times around Space Mountain,” added Mr Davis, who is on his 30th trip, and was the former chairman of The Magical Taxi Tour.
“When we returned she phoned and said he had sadly passed away on the Wednesday morning.
“But, when he came off Space Mountain he had a beaming smile, one she hadn’t seen for years. It is all about creating memories.”
Lauren JohansenAlso part of the convoy with the cabbies were London Ambulance NHS Trust and AA breakdown vehicles.
Police outriders from the City of London Police and from France’s Gendarme Nationale were also there to escort them.
Lauren JohansenAmong the families on the trip were 10 children from Birmingham Children’s hospital.
They are joined by consultant Dr Lauren Johansen, who is on the trip for the fifth time.
She followed in her father’s footsteps, as he used to participate on the same trip driving one of the cabs to Paris.
“We watch our families have to deal with so much and it is really humbling to see their strength. This is an opportunity for me to give something back,” she said.
Lauren Johansen“From the moment we pick everyone up, the trip is simply wonderful. There are surprises, treats and new magical experiences every step of the way.”
Dr Johansen said many of the families, including some from London, have not been on holiday before because of their children’s health but the medical support makes it possible.
“That for me is fabulous,” she added.
Mr Davis says that 90% of the parents and carers do not tell their children about the trip until the night before.
Early on Friday morning as the black cabs left Canary Wharf, the Royal British Legion band played music as they began their journey.
After taking the ferry from Dover to Calais they were driven to the theme park in Marne-la-Vallée, about 20 miles (32km) from Paris.
The children spent their day at the Disneyland theme park on Saturday.
The special event ends with a formal dinner and disco and they will head back on Sunday.
The event is organised by The Magical Taxi tour charity and The Worshipful Company Of Hackney Carriage Drivers.
The taxi drivers give their time and use of their vehicles for free – everyone on the trip is a volunteer.
BBC Weather Watchers / Jake AllisonThunderstorms and heavy showers have hit parts of the UK, as “unsettled” weather is expected to continue throughout the weekend.
A yellow weather warning is in place for much of southern England and Wales, with Cornwall experiencing the brunt of the storms.
The Met Office said that the county in south-west England had seen most of the thunderstorms on Saturday. Large hail and lightning has been reported in the region.
By Sunday, more heavy rain is forecast to spread – bringing a continued risk of localised flooding and travel disruption.
Met OfficeThe weather warning, which covers Wales, south-west England, the Midlands and parts of south-east England, is in place until midnight on Sunday.
Met Office meteorologist Becky Mitchell said there was “probably quite a lot of water on the road” in Cornwall – with about 30mm (1.2in) of rainfall reported in the area – which could lead to “tricky driving conditions”.
She said there had also been heavy showers across Wales and London, while Surrey and Oxfordshire had seen thunder strikes on Saturday morning.
Ms Mitchell added that there was the potential for more “widespread” thunderstorms into the afternoon, triggered by higher temperatures.
Further heavy showers, accompanied by hail, are expected across parts of Wales and southern England, with the possibility of 50-80mm (2-3.2in) of rain.
Thundery downpours
On Friday and into the early hours of Saturday, around 8,000 lightning strikes were recorded across southern England.
Intense downpours brought some localised flash flooding.
Damage was also reported in Hampshire where the Tornado and Storm Research Organisation confirmed that a tornado had ripped through Aldershot.
Further thunderstorms on Saturday could bring similar conditions, while gusty winds and hail may accompany the downpours with the possibility of local flash-flooding.
Ms Mitchell said the weather is expected to remain “unsettled” into next week, with the potential for some localised flooding.
Heavy showers and storms will continue through the night into Sunday, when there is another Met Office yellow warning for rain in place for the whole day.
Not everywhere will experience bad weather, however.
Throughout the weekend and into early next week, Scotland, Northern Ireland and areas around the Irish Sea are expected to experience drier and calmer conditions.
There will be plenty of sunshine and pleasant temperatures. However, make the most of it, as it will not be long before the autumn chill arrives.
A weather warning for rain will come into force on Sunday for Wales and central south-west England before another comes into effect on Monday, stretching to cover areas further east and further north as well.
BBC Weather Watchers / Stormchaser AlAutumn equinox and beyond
With the autumn equinox on Sunday – 22 September – it seems that Mother Nature has decided to end summer right on cue.
A change of wardrobe is inevitable for all of us next week. As the winds eventually swing from the north, cooler air will move in as low pressure systems bring widespread cloud and rain.
Daytime temperatures will typically range from 12C in Scotland to perhaps 16C along the England Channel coast. By mid-week, there is a risk of gales and even colder northerly winds.
However, it is entirely possible that an occasional spell of warmer weather may appear during October, which has historically even brought the odd hot spell.
Keep up with our latest thoughts on the coming weeks with our monthly outlook.

Pilot held captive by gun-wielding jungle rebels for 19-months finally FREED after fighters seized plane in West Papua
A KIWI pilot held hostage by armed rebels in Indonesia has finally been rescued after 19 brutal months in captivity.
Phillip Mehrtens was kidnapped by gun-wielding fanatics who stormed his tiny plane after it landed in the remote region of Papua.

The West Papua Liberation Army – the armed wing of the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP), snatched the pilot and set fire to his jet on February 7.
Rebel leader Egianus Kogoya kept him as a bargaining chip to push the Indonesian government to make Papua independent.
Officials refused and stood firm – insisting Papua would remain a “legitimate part” of the country.
Now Mehrtens, 38, is finally free to return home to Christchurch and reunite with his wife and young son after an international effort to secure his release.
Multiple government agencies in New Zealand worked with Indonesian officials to see him freed.
A joint military and police task force was sent to the village of Nudga early this morning to retrieve him.
Faizal Ramadhani, leader of a national task force working on the conflict in Papua, said today “We have picked up pilot Phillip, who is in good health, and we flew him from Nduga to Timika.”
He was taken to a police HQ in Timika to undergo a medical and psychological assessment.
Indonesian police released pictures of the gaunt pilot with a long beard following his rescue.
Footage on local media appeared to show him having an emotional call on FaceTime – possibly with loved ones back home.
The Foreign Ministry in New Zealand confirmed his safe release and said: “We are pleased and relieved to confirm that Phillip Mehrtens is safe and well and has been able to talk with his family.
“This news must be an enormous relief for his friends and loved ones.”
Foreign Minister Winston Peters said: “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, with staff in both Indonesia and Wellington, has led a sustained whole-of-government effort to secure Philip Mehrtens’ release, and has also been supporting his family.”
He had been working for an Indonesian aviation company last year when he was seized after landing a single-engine Susi plane on a remote airstrip in Nduga.
Chilling footage released by West Papuan rebels at the time showed Mehrtens flanked by gun-wielding militants in the mountainous region.
He said in the hostage video “It’s me,” nervously laughing, before directly addressing his wife Maria and six-year-old son Jacob.
“I’m OK, they are treating me well… I’m trying to stay positive and I hope that you and Jacob are healthy and doing OK and getting support,” he said.
“I love you both lots and miss you both lots and hope to be able to talk with you soon.”
Images showed Mehrtens arriving at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base in Jakarta in Indonesia late on Saturday.
During a press conference on Saturday Foreign Minister Peters said: “His family will be absolutely over the moon, I believe.
Speaking of the 19-month ordeal he said officials had to “hold our nerve, not getting too carried away and not doing anything that might imperil our chances”.
“There’s always a concern of ours that we may not succeed,” he said.
On September 18 the rebel group holding him captive asked the New Zealand government, police and army to collect him.
They also asked for local and international journalists to be involved.
It is not clear whether any kind of agreement or negotiations were made with the group to secure his release.

The UK is set to record temperatures above 20C at the start of October as the Met Office says ‘warm/mild spells’ are due to return after a wet and windy weekend
Rickshaw drivers are secretly shifting the decimal point on credit card machines to “swindle” tourists in London out of hundreds of pounds, newly released data show.
A dossier of complaints collected by Transport for London (TfL) reveals how some drivers have even charged £1,300 for trips of just a few hundred yards.
Others have billed customers twice to rip off those touring the capital’s landmarks in their garishly decorated pedicabs.
The complaints log was released following a Freedom of Information request and illustrates the techniques used by some unscrupulous riders who view tourists as easy targets.
One customer claimed she was swindled out of £1,300 for a 500-yard rickshaw ride.
She wrote to TfL: “I was swindled after taking transportation from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace.
“We rode a few blocks going towards the Palace and something broke. We exited the rickshaw, and I paid the vendor and asked for a receipt. He said: ‘No.’
“I called my husband immediately to make sure he charged me correctly. My husband called me back and said the vendor charged me £1,278.96.”
Another woman wrote: “I took a rickshaw from Mayfair to High Street Kensington, and I was charged £336 instead of £33.60. I believe that it was intentional.”
She added that she believed she and her friend were targeted because they were women, adding: “He was enjoying it.”
A couple who flagged down a pedicab to see Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cinderella at a West End theatre were told they would be charged £9.40.
The theatregoer wrote: “I tapped my card. It wasn’t until the interval when I checked my online banking app and saw that I had been charged £94.40.”
These examples suggest the vendor had added another zero to the bill, shifting the decimal point and hoping the customer would not check properly.
Two complaints stated that the driver insisted the fare was real because he had a “handheld meter”.
A mother contacted TfL with a picture of their crashed rickshaw saying: “Not only is it daylight robbery – he tried to charge me £130 for the journey – but it is also very unsafe.
“He tried to go through the cycle lane tunnel on Bermondsey Road and crashed at the end as there wasn’t enough space. He got very aggressive.”
There were also complaints from people who said that their payments had been pushed through twice – doubling the bill.
One couple was charged £296 for a 13-minute trip to the theatre.
They eventually agreed to pay £110 but reported the scam to their hotel, who encouraged them to make a formal complaint.
‘Pedicab industry should be banned’
Steve McNamara, general secretary of the Licensed Taxi Drivers’ Association, said “rip-off rickshaw riders” give London a bad name and the pedicab industry should be banned.
“TfL now have the powers they need to take action and stop this once and for all, and it’s high time they used them to keep visitors to our great city safe from these scam artists.”
The Conservative government brought in new rules allowing TfL to start regulating drivers who tout for passengers in the city’s tourist hotspots.
A TfL spokesman said it welcomed new “robust and effective” powers it will have under the Pedicabs (London) Act 2024.
“We are engaging with the pedicab industry and other interested parties to help us shape proposals ahead of a public consultation, including carrying out an impact assessment.
“Once these proposals are developed, we will launch a public consultation and we hope to do so in early 2025. Feedback from our consultation will help shape these important new regulations and will enable us to confirm a timetable for their introduction.”
In July, Henry Winkler, the actor who played the Fonz in the American comedy Happy Days, used social media to warn others about how he was ripped off by a rickshaw driver when visiting London with his family.
Winkler, 78, posted a “travel tip” saying: “Do not take one of those bicycle taxis without absolutely negotiating the price first.
“This person in London rode us around in circles then finally to our destination seven blocks away for $170!”
Traffic analysis by the Sunday Telegraph revealed that two rickshaw drivers carrying London visitors had shot red lights weaving between pedestrians on Westminster Bridge Road.
