Should Musicians Get Political? Celebrity Endorsements & Music's Role in Activism

This week on Educate Your Earbuds, we tackle the question: should musicians speak out on political issues? We kick things off with a look back at the history of celebrity political endorsements and dive into who big-name artists like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Eminem are endorsing in the 2024 election. We also discuss Chappell Roan’s recent decision to stay neutral. Finally, we bring Gerald back for a lively debate on whether musicians should use their platforms for political and social causes. Perfect for fans of music commentary, celebrity news, and political influence in pop culture!
