    The whole “she’s a billionaire” status is influence in and of it’s self, doesn’t need to be political, in my opinion.

    Edit: actually, it’s in the definition that an oligarch would have to have a large amount of political power. My bad, lol.

    I would argue that she gained political power when she suggested that her fans should register to vote on social media (which is a good thing). I would also back that argument with the notion that Fox and/or right wing media being worried that Swift might endorse a president that isn’t the orange Hershey squirt, is evidence of political power as well.
