John Lennon's son admits lyric in Taylor Swift song made him feel 'uncomfortable'
He does think the world needs 'more not less Taylor Swifts' even if he's not personally a fan of her music
The son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono has been praising Taylor Swift, though he admitted there was one lyric in one of her songs which made him 'uncomfortable'.
Seán Ono Lennon took to social media recently to say that, while he'd never been a fan of Swift's music and didn't really know her songs, he thought she 'should be respected and in fact treasured'. His post seemed to hit out at Donald Trump's Truth Social post on 15 September where he wrote: "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!"
That had followed Swift's endorsement of his opponent in the US presidential race, Kamala Harris. Plenty had been waiting to see whether Swift would go as far as endorsing the Democrats as she did at the last election, and in a lengthy Instagram post she hit out at AI generated images of her claiming she was endorsing Trump.
Instead, Swift has endorsed Harris to be the next US president and signed off as a 'childless cat lady', mocking a comment made by Trump's vice-president pick, JD Vance.
Now you've got all that context, Seán Ono Lennon wrote on Twitter: "I have never been a fan of her music, although I can’t think of a single song so I don’t really know if I like it or not. "But I know she is a uniquely successful American. A young woman who has done things in a way that no one has done before her.
"She is the kind of American that should be respected and in fact treasured. We need more not less Taylor Swifts in our world. People who thrive continually and consistently are exactly the kind of person both parties should embrace.
"So for some old grumpy dude to get angry at her, no that’s not a good look."
