Sore winners mock Taylor Swift after the candidate she endorsed loses in midterm elections

It's one thing to take pride in your party's candidate winning an election, but it's another to be an insufferably sore winner.

On Tuesday, after Republican Marsha Blackburn won Tennessee's Senate race over Democratic candidate and former Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen, fans of Blackburn not only celebrated the victory, but mocked singer Taylor Swift, too. Just a few weeks before the election, the artist publicly endorsed Bredesen for office.

Swift, who in past elections notoriously kept her political opinions to herself, surprised fans in early October by when she urged Tennessee voters to support Bredesen in the midterms.

There were even reports speculating that Swift's endorsement might have inspired a surge in voter registration, so when Bredesen lost the race by a significant amount, fired up conservatives like Laura Ingraham, Joe Walsh, Candace Owens, and more were quick to mock the 28-year-old.

Many tweeted the results of the race directly at the singer, and some even used her own lyrics against her and discussed her relationship history.

Amidst all the Taylor trolling, others simply noted that celebrity endorsements don't always have a serious impact on election outcomes.

Other celebrities like Will Ferrell, Oprah Winfrey, and even Beyoncé publicly endorsed candidates in this election who lost on Tuesday, as well.

While celebrity endorsements do have the potential increase excitement around races and possibly even persuade people to vote for certain candidates, there isn't much known about the direct impact (if any) that celebrity support has on election results. People will likely vote for the candidate they favor, regardless of which celebrities back them. This doesn't mean celebrities should remain silent when it comes to sharing their political beliefs.

And no matter the election results, the winning party always has the option to rise above petty gloating and targeted mocking of a single individual's endorsement.
