Talker Research<\/a>, the results also showed how the average American would react after finding out their favorite celebrity did not agree with them politically.<\/p>\nPeople Like To Feel Their Favorite Celebrity Lives in a World of Their Own<\/h2>\n
One in six (18%) said they\u2019d stop being a fan, suggesting that respondents would forgo political transparency for art and entertainment.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor one thing, people like to feel that their favorite celebrity lives in a world of their own, a special place free of mundane issues, like going to the grocery store or figuring out who they want to vote for or support,\u201d said Dr. Carole Lieberman, a psychiatrist-consultant for reality TV. \u201cFor another thing, they are fearful that their favorite celeb holds opposing views and this would either disappoint them or make them question their own views.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor example, they want to imagine their favorite singer ensconced in an environment that inspires their music. They like to imagine country singers on their ranch or riding a horse. They like to imagine singers like Taylor Swift sitting alone in their bedroom, looking over mementos of past loves \u2014 not writing social media posts and signing them \u2018Childless Cat Lady.\u2019 Indeed, Taylor lost a lot of fans by making her dislike of Trump known.\u201d<\/p>\n
But, it\u2019s not just celebrity political affiliations Americans don\u2019t want to know about.<\/p>\n
Over half (57%) of respondents said they don\u2019t want to know how their colleagues vote either, with 63% saying they think it\u2019s rude to ask people who they voted for.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Younger Americans are more likely to wear their politics on their sleeve in the workplace. Fifty percent of Gen Z respondents said they\u2019d prefer to know how their colleagues vote.<\/p>\n
Only 14% said they would prefer to know whether their colleagues are more conservative or liberal and don\u2019t think it\u2019s rude to inquire.<\/p>\n
When asked to consider differences in speaking about politics in the past decade, more than half (59%) said they think people are more hesitant to share their political views today than in the past ten years.<\/p>\n
The survey also revealed notable differences among generations.<\/p>\n
Younger Americans like Gen Z (37%) and millennials (30%) said they would want to know their favorite celebrities’ political party affiliation more than Gen X (23%) would and baby boomers (18%).<\/p>\n
Gen Z Is Most Likely to Unfan Celebs Over Politics<\/h2>\n
Similarly, Gen Z (41%) said they would stop being a fan if they learned their favorite celebrity disagreed with their politics compared to older generations, like millennials (20%), Gen X (17%) and baby boomers (17%).<\/p>\n
\u201cMost people think that others are more hesitant to share their political views today than in the past. This is probably true,\u201d added Dr. Lieberman. \u201cThere is more distrust these days. So some people may feel \u2019safer\u2019 knowing that their colleague believes the same things as they do.\u201d<\/p>\n
