GUTFELD TAKES SHOTS AT SWIFT: IS THE LEFT'S 'MATRIX OF HOAXES' FINALLY IMPLODING?
In a recent episode of his Fox News program "Gutfeld," personality Greg Gutfeld took aim at pop sensation Taylor Swift, labeling her "a six at best" and implying that she's not particularly smart due to her string of high-profile break-ups. The jest was met with loud cheers from the audience.
Gutfeld, a comedian, host of "Gutfeld," also discussed his concept of the "Trump Effect," describing it as the freedom to say what people knew without fear of retribution in response to the media and its influence on society. He believes the election of Donald Trump marked a turning point, leading to safer expression of opinions without consequence.
This was Gutfeld's second hosting gig in two months, after taking paternity leave for his daughter's birth. Known for his biting humor, he has previously targeted powerful figures like President Biden and fat-shamed The View's ladies.
The pop star has often been subject to Gutfeld's mockery, with him having criticized her endorsement of Kamala Harris in the past. Similar criticisms have also been leveled against other celebrities by Kelly, a former Fox News journalist, who believes that when they try to redefine their public image, they ultimately fail and are met with disdain from fans.
This criticism highlights the ongoing debate over the blurring of boundaries between politics and entertainment. Both Gutfeld and Kelly suggest that Hollywood's "big loser" celebrities have been rejected by audiences in favor of more relatable concerns like appearance over a celebrity's political stance.
The incident serves as a reminder of the growing divide between those in show business who try to inject politics into their platforms and fans whose priorities lie elsewhere.
