Whoopi Goldberg Tells J.D. Vance to ‘Stop Talking’ After He Said Taylor Swift Is ‘Disconnected’ From Most Americans: ‘You Don’t Know What Affects Her’

As a seasoned movie critic with decades of observing the intricacies of human nature and politics, I find myself deeply engrossed in this latest tussle between Taylor Swift, J.D. Vance, and the political arena. It’s not often that we witness such an exchange of words between a music icon, a political hopeful, and a movie critic like myself – it’s almost as if I’ve stumbled upon a scene straight out of a Hollywood screenplay!


During a conversation, Whoopi Goldberg advised J.D. Vance, Donald Trump’s vice-presidential candidate, to “hold back on the comments” after he criticized Taylor Swift following her endorsement of Kamala Harris for president. Swift made this endorsement shortly after the September 10 debate between Harris and Trump concluded. In response to Swift’s stance, Vance expressed his view that she is not in touch with most of America on Fox News.

Taylor Swift’s music is appreciated by us, but I believe that the average American, whether they’re fans of hers or not, won’t be swayed by a wealthy celebrity whose concerns and issues seem to differ greatly from those of most Americans,” Vance expressed.

“You see, an increase in grocery costs by 20% affects ordinary citizens significantly. However, this isn’t something that impacts Taylor Swift or other billionaires. Conversely, when housing prices become unattainable, it doesn’t affect wealthy individuals like Taylor Swift. Instead, it has a substantial impact on the middle class across our nation.

Goldberg countered Vance’s teasing on “The View” by stating: “You have no idea what influences her! You don’t even know the details of her finances! How dare you speak about her like that? Be quiet, J.D. I apologize for my rudeness. Please stop talking, J.D.

Goldberg later explained that his apology stemmed from disliking when commentators tell him to be silent, not from agreeing with what he said. He regrets the harsh words but stands by the point that Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Harris-Walz is a significant topic, causing considerable unease among Republicans. It’s quite a stir, really.

Goldberg’s “The View” co-hosts commended Taylor Swift for urging her supporters to cast their votes. Swift made this call to action evident in both her endorsement statement and during a speech at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. It was found that approximately 337,826 of Swift’s fans followed her lead by clicking on the link she provided to vote.gov.

As a movie enthusiast, I myself responded to Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris by stating, “I suspect she might face some consequences for that in the world of entertainment.

In her endorsement of Harris, Swift praised the current vice president and wrote she “fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”

In response to Trump’s vice presidential pick commenting on Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris, the hosts of ‘The View’, including guest host Chelsea Clinton, engage in a discussion about it. J.D. Vance, in this case, characterizes Taylor Swift as a “billionaire celebrity” to dismiss her influence.
