Kid Rock CLAIMS Taylor Swift only wanted to be a Democrat ‘to be in the movies’ in crude, SEXIST tweet that suggests the hugely successful singer will sleep her way to the top in Hollywood.
Kid Rock accused Taylor Swift of being a Democrat solely to advance her aspiring movie career.
‘Taylor Swift wants to be a democrat because she wants to be in movies….period,’ the musician, who supports Donald Trump, tweeted on Friday.
Kid Rock, 48, then suggested the 29-year-old would perform a sexual act – namely oral sex – to get more starring roles.
‘And it looks like she will suck the door knob off Hollyweird to get there. Oldest move in the book. Good luck girl.’
It’s not clear what prompted the tweet, but thousands flock to social media and blasted Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, as ‘sexist’, ‘misogynistic’ and ‘unoriginal’.

‘I’m boycotting Kid Rock’s music because of stupid s**t like this,’ one user wrote. ‘It’s America so, people have the right to pick what party they want to belong to.’
‘And Kid Rock is now block for unnecessary vulgarity born out of jealousy,’ another tweeted. ‘Other celebrities celebrate the success of other celebrities. Not this guy.’
One Twitter user joked: ‘Literally any rock is better than Kid Rock. Fraggle Rock, Jailhouse Rock, the Rock, Chris Rock, a small rock that flew up from the road and cracked my windshield.’
Kid’s Rock’s sexist comments come after Swift’s Vogue cover story for the September issue was released on Thursday, in which she explained why she wasn’t politically active before during the last presidential election.

‘Unfortunately in the 2016 election you had a political opponent who was weaponizing the idea of the celebrity endorsement,’ she said of President Trump.
‘He was going around saying: “I’m a man of the people. I’m for you. I care about you.”‘ I just knew I wasn’t going to help.’
She told Vogue that her then-feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian prevented her from endorsing Hillary Clinton.
‘Also, you know, the summer before that election, all people were saying was: “She’s calculated. She’s manipulative. She’s not what she seems. She’s a snake. She’s a liar,”‘ Swift said.
‘These are the same exact insults people were hurling at Hillary.’
Swift then said she thought endorsing Clinton would make herself a ‘liability.
‘Look, snakes of a feather flock together. Look, the two lying women. The two nasty women.’ Literally millions of people were telling me to disappear. So I disappeared. In many senses,’ she said.
However, recently, the singer-songwriter has found more of a voice and has spoken up in favor of LGBTQ rights and against sexism in the music industry as well as gun violence.
