Okay everyone, Mike Huckabee has weighed in on Taylor Swift's political leanings, so we can consider the topic officially closed!

In case you missed it, late on Sunday, Neo-Nazis' favorite music artist Taylor Swift took to Instagram to decry Tennessee's GOP U.S. Senate candidate Marsha Blackburn's Trumpian agenda, and to explicitly endorse Democratic candidates Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper.


After spending her entire career silent on politics--despite claiming the mantles of feminism and LGBTQ rights in her persona and work--and ignoring her status as the alt-right's favorite pop goddess--the announcement was met with no small amount of surprise from all sides of the political spectrum.

And for their part, Republicans and alt-right figures were furious with what they clearly saw as Swift's betrayal, from GOP figures accusing her of being in an "ivory tower," to Neo-Nazi users of internet message board 4chan theorizing that she was paid off to make the statement.

And as always, Mike Huckabee just couldn't help himself. The former Arkansas governor-cum-Twitter's most celebrated comedic voice took to the platform right away to issue one of his typical laugh-riot takedowns.


Oh.

Sick...burn?...I guess?...

Anyway, actual comedian of stage and screen Chelsea Peretti wasn't having it:

And from there, Twitterfolk were off and running, pointing out in brilliant detail just how dumb Huckabee's tweet was:











But it's not just Chelsea Peretti and Twitter who think Huckabee's a bit off-base--the actual data seems to indicate it too.

Kamari Guthrie, Director of Communications for voter registration and information non-profit Vote.org, told Buzzfeed News that Swift's Instagram post incited a massive spike in voter registrations on her site.

"We are up to 65,000 registrations in a single 24-hour period since T. Swift's post," she said, adding that in Tennessee itself, her organization received 2,144 new registrations since the post. Contrast that with 2,811 new Tennessee voter registrations for the entire month of September and the effect of Taylor's post seems crystal clear.

Your move, Huckabee!

The 'La La Land' Poster Was Just Officially Edited To Fix Ryan Gosling's Bent Hand—And Fans Have Thoughts

If you've spent the last decade unable to unsee Ryan Gosling's oddly bent hand on the La La Land poster, you're not alone. The visual quirk became an enduring talking point among fans. And now, for the film's 10-year anniversary, it's officially been fixed.

The poster for the iconic 2016 musical has been subtly adjusted ahead of its theatrical re-release on August 16 to celebrate its 10th anniversary. While the original artwork shows Gosling's character, Sebastian, with his hand tilted downward in the famous dance pose, the updated version straightens it to mirror Emma Stone's Mia.
