VIDEO: Candace Owens criticizes Taylor Swift as the “most toxic feminist ever
Why Taylor Swift is the Most Toxic Feminist, According to Candace Owens
During Tuesday’s “Backstage” event on DailyWire+, Daily Wire podcast host Candace Owens explained why she sees Taylor Swift as “the most toxic feminist that’s ever existed.”
The show hosts — including Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing, Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro, and their fellow Daily Wire hosts Michael Knowles and Matt Walsh — touched on a wide range of topics, including pop star Taylor Swift, who has made headlines over the last year for her international concert tour and film, as well as her romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
When the topic of Swift came up, Owens did not mince words about her views on the pop icon.
“Obviously, if you’ve seen what she’s even done in business and how she tries to manipulate her audiences to get out of deals and contracts, she’s totally insane. She’s the most toxic feminist that’s ever existed,” Owens began before noting that if Swift doesn’t “get what she wants,” she has a legion of fans who will target her opponents.
Following a brief discussion of Swift’s tendency to write songs about her exes, Owens talked about the pop star’s battle with record executive Scooter Braun.
“They tried to kill Scooter Braun’s family, and he did nothing wrong other than purchase her catalog,” she said. “And he only had it for like six months before he let somebody else purchase it. But she hated Scooter Braun.”

Owens went on to cast doubt on the authenticity of Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce, calling it a “business move.”
When Walsh commented that calling Swift the “most toxic feminist” was a significant statement, Owens explained her choice of phrasing.

“Toxic feminism … She literally said, ‘Lena Dunham taught me feminism,’ which basically means that you can get whatever you want so long as you’re able to sell to people that you’re a victim because you’re a woman. And she has done it to the tune of a billion dollars,” Owens stated.
“She re-recorded her catalog and resold the same album because Scooter Braun legally purchased her catalog,” said Owens. “Her dad was sitting on the board of the company and she said, ‘I didn’t know it was getting sold.’ You didn’t know it was getting sold? Your dad is sitting on the board of the company. What are you talking about? But eight-year-old girls don’t understand business, so they then just tried to kill Scooter.”

How does Owens define feminism and why does she believe it has been hijacked by radical leftists?
“I think that we need to renew our understanding of what feminism is,” Owens continued. “Feminism is a term that has been hijacked by mainly radical leftists, and it really is just about the degradation of women. It’s about saying that women are victims and that we need special privileges and special treatment. That’s not empowering. That’s not feminism.”
Owens argued that Taylor Swift’s brand of feminism falls into this category, where she portrays herself as a victim and uses her platform to promote a narrative of inequality. Owens believes that this type of feminism is toxic because it perpetuates a victim mentality rather than encouraging women to take responsibility for their own lives and success.
“Taylor Swift is someone who has all the opportunities in the world, all the money in the world, all the power in the world, and yet she continues to paint herself as this victim,” Owens stated. “She’s constantly playing the victim card to garner sympathy and support from her fans, but it’s detrimental to both women and feminism as a whole.”
Owens further criticized Swift for her stance on politics, referencing her endorsement of Democratic candidates during the 2018 midterm elections. Owens argued that Swift’s political activism was based on emotion rather than informed decision-making, and that she was using her influence irresponsibly.
“Taylor Swift is not an expert in politics. She’s not an expert in policy,” Owens asserted. “And yet, she uses her platform to sway her young, impressionable fans into voting a certain way without having a true understanding of the issues at hand. That’s dangerous and toxic.”
In conclusion, Owens believes that Taylor Swift embodies a toxic form of feminism that promotes victimhood and uses her platform irresponsibly. She argues that true feminism should empower women to take control of their own lives and success, rather than encouraging them to play the victim. While Swift may be a talented artist, Owens sees her as a negative influence within the feminist movement.
It is important to note that these are Owens’ opinions and views, and individuals may have differing opinions on whether Taylor Swift is a toxic feminist.
