Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift: two music giants, each with their own vibe. One’s all about country roots, while the other’s the pop queen who’s never afraid to speak her mind. Remember when Brooks sent his well wishes to Trump in 2017?

He blended unity and respect in a way that seems almost old-school. But he kept it chill and focused on love. Meanwhile, fast forward to 2024, and Swift is on the grind. Last month, she promoted and endorsed her favorite candidate, Kamala Harris.

Garth Brooks Took a Neutral Stance on Politics

Garth Brooks always knows how to drop the right words. When it comes to politics, he’s all about that unity and love vibe. The 62-year-old even performed Amazing Grace at Joe Biden’s inauguration in 2021.

But the catch is that he didn’t perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration in 2017. So why the snub? During his Facebook Live session, Brooks got real with fans who were upset. There, the singer explained that he was already booked for shows.

Brooks added that Steve Wynn (the casino mogul on Trump’s team) had reached out to him about performing, but he had to focus on his tour. Since his Cincinnati shows were selling out, he ended up adding three more, which clashed with inauguration weekend.

The star even clarified it wasn’t a political thing, but more like a scheduling mishap. He said, “Let’s stay together. Love, unity — that’s what it’s all about.” Seriously, Brooks preached that good ol’ love gospel. He also shared his thoughts on the new and old administrations, hoping for more unity and peace, saying:

We can’t thank the Obamas enough for serving this country. And may God hold Trump’s hand in the decisions that he makes in this country’s name as well.

Brooks wasn’t picking sideshe’s just hoped for a peaceful transition. That’s right—no drama here! He’s the person who reminds us that music and love are universal. So, while Chris Gaines is staying neutral on politics, that’s definitely not how T-Swizzle rolls. And as for Brooks’ statement for Trump? Nah, don’t expect to hear that from Swift.

Taylor Swift is the Queen of Clapbacks

Now let’s talk about Taylor Swift—the pop diva who’s never shy to drop a truth bomb. After the latest presidential debate, she took to Instagram and served up some hot takes.

Swift didn’t just endorse Kamala Harris—she also dragged Donald Trump, calling out some seriously bizarre AI-generated images of herself. In her statement, the 34-year-old got real about the dangers of AI and misinformation.

Swift even signed off as “childless cat lady”—that’s some real internet humor right there! Unlike Garth Brooks, the Bad Blood star is unfiltered and ready to call out anyone who crosses her. She’s got that fierce vibe, making sure everyone knows where she stands.

While Brooks hopes for unity, Swift is all about standing firm and taking a side. Swift’s fans are here for it, and her message is loud and clear: get involved, vote, and don’t let misinformation slide.
