she is a huge taylor swift fan. a politics for that. it's divided, why can't you go to a concert without that? she can vote how she wants, talk about it offstage. but when people pay to see you, just performed. this is just my take on that picture, if your backup dancer, why are you in a suit? you can see those are a blazer and pants. however it is, they're wearing a suit. is there a song where she sings "i went to the corporate office?" i don't know. >> morgan: my friend, kendall, who is watching, knows everything about taylor swift and william and kate and the royals. she swears to me this is a male backup dancer. who knows? i can't imagine being swayed based off a celebrity or an artist on who i'm going to vote for. maybe somebody is. i don't really see evidence of that. also, i'm pretty sure that trump is somewhat of a swiftie. it's reported he was caught listening to her album on his ipad and he said nice things about her. so maybe everyone is a swiftie but me. i would rather go to the opera. >> bill: i don't r
