Taylor Swift's fans are mad that Kamala Harris had a fundraiser hosted by Scooter Braun

The Taylor Swift vs. Scooter Braun feud has taken a political turn.

Last month, the pop star accused Braun — a talent manager whose clients include Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber — of “incessant, manipulative bullying” after it emerged that he had purchased Big Machine Records, gaining ownership to the rights to her pre-2017 music catalog along with it.

Phil Bredesen in Tennessee’s Senate race last fall didn’t help him win. Despite Swift’s backing, Bredesen lost to Republican Marsha Blackburn in November.

Long story short: Harris is unlikely to take a huge hit from any perceived slight to Swift, who, for the record, has retweeted the candidate in the past. Katy Perry, on the other hand ...
