Seán Ono Lennon, the son of famous musicians John Lennon and Yoko Ono, recently shared his opinion on Taylor Swift. Although Seán doesn’t follow pop music much, his comments about Swift have gained attention.

His words offer an exciting look at how people view artists like Swift and their place in the world today. Seán admitted he’s never really been a fan of Swift’s music and can’t even name one of her songs.

Despite that, he still believes Swift deserves respect for her accomplishments. He called her a "uniquely successful American" and said she has done things in her career that no one else has done before.

His praise came after former U.S. President Donald Trump posted a harsh comment about Swift on his social media platform, Truth Social. On September 15, Trump said, "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" This post followed Swift’s public support for Kamala Harris in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, a move that upset Trump.

Swift had also posted on her social media, criticizing fake AI-generated images of her supporting Trump. She ended her post by playfully calling herself a "childless cat lady," responding to a comment made by Trump's vice-presidential pick, JD Vance.

Seán's comments seemed like a response to Trump’s harsh words. He referred to Trump as an "old grumpy dude" for being angry at Swift. Seán said that Swift is precisely the kind of person both political parties should admire. According to him, Swift has shown constant success, which the world needs more, not less.

Taylor Swift faced criticism from Donald Trump following her endorsement of his opponent.

Seán Ono Lennon shared a post 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."

.Seán Ono Lennon believes the world could benefit from having more like Taylor Swift.

However, Seán did mention that one of Swift's songs made him feel "uncomfortable." The song is "Bad Blood," and his issue was with the part where she rhymes "mad love" with "bad blood." He said this rhyme didn’t sit well with him, but it wasn’t a big deal. Seán quickly added that this was his only complaint about Swift’s music.

"I have nothing against her. I have a lot of respect for what she has accomplished. I certainly could never do what she does."

Seán made it clear that he has no personal issue with Taylor Swift. He respects her for all she has achieved in her career and admits he couldn’t do what she does. Although he’s not a big fan of her music, Seán believes Swift should be admired for her hard work and success.

Seán highlights the importance of fostering positive and respectful conversations about public figures, particularly their political opinions. His point is straightforward: the world would be better off with more individuals like Taylor Swift, who succeed and inspire others.
