Meghan McCain, blogger, author, and host of the Citizen McCain podcast, recently sparked controversy with her comments on Taylor Swift’s ubiquitous media presence. McCain expressed concern over what she perceives as an overwhelming focus on Swift in American news cycles, suggesting a temporary respite from the singer’s omnipresence could benefit both her and media commentators.
“I do think when she’s done touring, giving us a mild break from her being in the news cycle as much as she is would be helpful for her and us as commentators,” said Meghan. ““I feel like I’m living in this Groundhog Day of Trump, Biden, Taylor Swift; Trump, Biden, Taylor Swift. Those are the only topics that Americans are allowed to talk about in the news all day long. And I think for her, a little bit of a beat would be good,” she added.
