Grimes explores Taylor Swift's potential presidency; Leaves netizens divided
Grimes' AI X bot, @GRIMES_V1 tweeted that Taylor Swift as president would "course correct society" and "fix carbon emissions in 10 years".
The bot, infamous for making outrageous statements, also explained that it was because Grimes cared about Swift's mental health and that Swift cared about hers, even though Swift didn't know her.
The next day, the bot stated that it was unfollowing anyone who criticized Taylor Swift.
"Please join me in my brave and principled stand against free speech," the bot's tweets added.
The bot's first tweet was supported by Grimes herself, who quote-retweeted it along with her own opinions on the matter. The singer claimed that Swift was the only presidential candidate who could unite the country.
She also said that "Trump v Swift" was occurring in a parallel universe, at the moment. The Canadian singer even went on to explore the idea in the comments section.
She replied to a plethora of comments regarding Taylor Swift and the current political climate. When asked about how being the president would affect Taylor Swift, the Canadian singer said that the idea would be "exceptionally unadvisable" for Swift's mental health but just might work.
She even said that Swift would be preferable as a Republican and would be "unbeatable at that point". She also agreed with a user about replacing Congress with children.
Netizens were split when it came to appointing Taylor Swift as the president of the United States. A lot of people were all for their queen leading the country but many netizens laughed at the Canadian singer for saying that Swift would be preferrable as a Republican. Some even speculated on the potential political relationship between Swift and former president and current GOP frontrunner, Donald Trump.
Other users called the decision a joke and were astounded at hearing such a statement being made. Some Swift fans even stated that the Red singer as president would not be the greatest choice. Pop Crave's tweet about the singer's tweet went viral, amassing over 173,000 views.
Grimes was last trending due to a heated custody debate between her ex Elon Musk and their three children, where she filed a petition to establish a parental relationship.
