Do Celebrity Endorsements Matter? Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, and the 2024 Presidential Election Hysteria

In this timely episode, Nix dives into the world of celebrity endorsements and their influence, or lack thereof, on U.S. presidential elections by comparing and contrasting Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris vs Chappell Roan's refusal to endorse anyone, the public response to each, and my thoughts about it all.

I also discuss:

• The influence of celebrity endorsements on presidential elections,
• Issues with political discourse surrounding high-profile endorsements,
• What celebrities "owe" us when it comes to their platforms,
• And the overall harm of the internet's fixation on celebrity endorsements.

Additionally, I address the recent execution of Marcellus Williams and the upcoming execution of Robert Roberson.
