Whoopi Goldberg defends billionaire Taylor Swift after Vance says she’s unaffected by high prices: ‘Shut up’

“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg unleashed on Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, on Thursday for saying that Taylor Swift would not be affected by high prices or housing costs, because she’s a billionaire. Swift, who endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president on Tuesday, joined Forbes’ list of billionaires in April; the outlet reported the pop star’s personal fortune amounted to an estimated $1.1 billion. Vance, the running mate of billionaire former President Trump, cited Swift’s immense wealth while responding to her endorsement of Harris. “When grocery prices go up 20%, it hurts most Americans, it doesn’t hurt Taylor Swift. When housing prices become unaffordable, it doesn’t affect Taylor Swift or any other billionaire,” Vance said Wednesday on Fox News.
