Singer’s tour on the eve of the Argentine second round has been used by opponents of Javier Milei
In the presence of Taylor Swift at Argentina on the eve of the second round of face-to-face elections in the country, it has been used as a slogan by voters. Several posters spread across the city have associated the singer in opposition to the right-wing candidate, Javier Mileiassociating it with donald trump – whom the singer opposed in the last US presidential race, in 2020 (via G1).
Around the stadium Monumentalin Buenos Aires, where Taylor gave her first Argentine performance this Thursday (9), posters read: “Swiftie no Vota Milei” (“Swiftie doesn’t vote for Milei”).
Taylor Swift’s visit to Argentina comes at a turbulent time in the country’s politics, when the populist and self-declared anarcho-capitalist appears to be leading voting intention polls over his opponent Sergio Massa, current Minister of Economy. Although the singer has never spoken out about the Argentine electoral race, her image has been featured on posters supporting Massa.
The association with figures like Trump comes from Milei’s controversial statements, especially regarding environmental policy and the so-called politics of customs, which affect minority groups. Among the policies defended by the candidate are, for example, opposition to sexual education in schools and public funds to assist the transgender population.
A APthe young Juliet Bracamontes, 17, explained: “Taylor stands for things and positions that Milei does not. The posters are correct and I agree.” Another source consulted by the publication, Constanza Trunskisays: “I think Trump is very similar to Milei.”
A The Eras Tour stays in Argentina for two more performances this Friday (10) and Saturday (11), before coming to Brazil, where six dates have been confirmed on November 17, 18 and 19 in Rio de Janeiro and 24, 25 and 26 November in São Paulo.
