Singer-songwriter Kid Rock accused Taylor Swift of coming out in support of Democrats because she wanted to pander to Hollywood to be in movies.

"Taylor Swift wants to be a democrat because she wants to be in movies….period," Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, said Friday on Twitter. "And it looks like she will suck the door knob off Hollyweird to get there. Oldest move in the book. Good luck girl."

Swift, in an interview Thursday for a Vogue cover story, blasted straight, white men.

"Rights are being stripped from basically everyone who isn’t a straight white cisgender male," she told the magazine. "I didn’t realize until recently that I could advocate for a community that I’m not a part of. It’s hard to know how to do that without being so fearful of making a mistake that you just freeze. Because my mistakes are very loud. When I make a mistake, it echoes through the canyons of the world. It’s clickbait, and it’s a part of my life story, and it’s a part of my career arc."

The 29-year-old pop star had stayed out of politics for most of her career until the 2018 when she encouraged Sen. Lamar Lamar Alexander to support the federal Equality Act. In October, Swift wrote a long Instagram caption saying about Sen. Marsha Blackburn who was up for reelection, "Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me."

Swift particularly singled out Blackburn's record on social issues.

"She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values."





In 2018, Rock, 48, visited the president in the White House and has since golfed with Trump this spring.
