Swift shift? Taylor Swift shocks Glenn Beck — and not how you would expect
Glenn Beck is stunned that a story involving none other than Taylor Swift — the LGBTQ ally, abortion-supporting pop star — is bringing not only a smile to his face but also a little hope for the future.
A video of the newlywed singer cheering as her husband, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, scored his first touchdown of the season, is going viral. In the clip, Swift points to her wedding ring, screaming, “That’s my husband!”
While Glenn “[doesn’t] care” about Swift as a celebrity, he knows that she has an unprecedented ability to shape the culture.
“The countless women who have never been told the power of supporting their husbands’ passions are seeing that video. They have never been told that it's a good and honorable thing to support their husbands, and they don't know how much that means to men,” he says.
“Now Taylor Swift is doing that. This is a cultural moment — an important one. It will give more women permission to point to their wedding ring and go, ‘That's my husband,”’ he adds.
But before Swift made it cool to support one’s husband, Glenn was encouraging women to do just that.
“I said at my speech for Charlie Kirk's memorial at TPUSA that women have forgotten the influence they hold over men, the power they have to shape the lives of the men that they love and to make sure they're on God's path,” he says.
Women, Glenn explains, bring out the best in men when they see and call out potential.
“You look at us as the man that, somewhere in all of us, we want to be. We will be that man. We will. Without nagging, without saying anything, you just see who we want to be and encourage us by … pointing to a ring and saying, 'That's my husband,'" he says.
Spouses encouraging each other, he says, is “rocket fuel.”
“You want to change your marriage? You tell your wife every day how proud you are that you're married to her. You tell your wife every day how amazing she is. It will transform her,” says Glenn.
“Women, you tell your husband how proud you are of him and what he does and what he accomplishes, how hard he works. You'll transform him.”
The culture, Glenn explains, is framing the latter as “trad” — internet slang for the traditional-wife trend that treats supporting a husband as a 1950s homemaker aesthetic of aprons, from-scratch dinners, and stay-at-home submission.
“It's not trad. … You don't have to wear an apron. [Taylor Swift] wasn't wearing an apron,” he says.
“Taylor Swift just set a massive example for women all over Earth … and millions of young women saw it.”

Glenn Beck reacts to LEAKED college professor emails saying THIS about Charlie Kirk
Nearly a year after Charlie Kirk's assassination on the campus of Utah Valley University, newly released emails are revealing the despicable way some faculty members viewed and spoke about Charlie in the aftermath of his death.
The records, obtained by Judicial Watch through Utah's public records law, include messages from individuals identified as university instructors and faculty members.
“Judicial Watch just pulled 133 pages out of their university under the open records law in Utah. And this is why I wanted to write an open letter to them. So here it is. Twelve days after Charlie Kirk was shot to death on your campus, an instructor wrote to your president that Charlie ‘appealed to the worst in people,’” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck says.
“That he spoke his prejudices openly, not to test free speech, but to shape minds,” he continues, noting that as a professor, he likely attempts to shape minds himself.
The professor also claimed that Charlie “preyed on the fears of impressionable kids” and spread the message “that hate is natural.”
“So the instructor concluded the university must resist any effort to memorialize him,” Glenn says.
Another faculty member wrote that he “could not understand how anyone could mourn a man who spewed such vituperation.”
He went on to say that he “regretted that Charlie had ever been invited and wished the school had reconsidered letting him speak there at all,” before warning that if the memorial for Charlie went up, “the university would lose faculty, starting with him.”
“So I got a couple of questions,” Glenn comments.
“What are the facts on any of your charges?” he asks. “Not the feeling, the facts. Can any of you show me one sentence where Charlie spewed hate? Give me the quote, the date, the clip, the whole context. Not the 11 seconds.”
“After all, you are scholars. You know the standard. You’d fail a sophomore if he came in and turned a paper in built the way you just built that letter,” he continues.
“But here’s what I think you’re going to find. When you go looking, you’re going to find he had a different opinion than you,” he adds. “Maybe, probably, but most of what you’re calling hate is opinion. And so is yours.”
Glenn points out that those who disagreed to the point of hatred with Charlie often believe that “men can be women, that there are a hundred different genders, that putting males in girls' sports empowers everybody, that it’s healthy to have men in the locker room with your daughter.”
“I could say you spew a lot of hate. I could build that case exactly the way you built yours: take your worst sentence, cut the context away, and name you,” he says. “Instead, I’ll say this. I strongly disagree with your opinion.”
And Charlie, Glenn says, “never hated anyone.”
“He believed in something and he said so, and he asked other people to do the same rationally, openly, calmly, with their names on it,” he continues. “Gosh, isn’t that what a university is for?”
