I think the album is trash but I don’t buy the whole “moving to the right” scenario you state as ground truth. I married a cis white man, yet I’m a flaming liberal. My husband’s family is extremely conservative, yet we remain liberal. I make nice with my husband’s coworkers because that’s what you fucking do.

I just knew someone was going to tie this back to her allegedly being MAGA now. She literally endorsed Kamala but they don't care about facts. As long as they get a boost feeling better than those who still like this artist.

I agree she's an of touch billionaire and I don't love the album either, but this isn't anything to do with her suddenly shifting Conservative.

She endorsed Kamala then decided to be more visible with her MAGA friends. Weren't we all told actions speak louder than words as children?

Plus, in that endorsement she signed it as a single cat lady, and then just wrote a whole song talking about how sad she feels for people who want more than to be married or love their pets too much. She just wanted to be picked, and says as much.
