These stars used to have a good reputation among people until their political views come into the picture and cause major backlash.

AceShowbiz - Be it common people or celebrities, everyone must have their own political views. While many usually don't really bother when their political stance differs from others', it is not the case with famous stars as their views in politics can very well influence other people's. Thus, when they finally open up about the issue, it's not uncommon that it would make headlines.
A recent example of that is Taylor Swift. Keeping her political stance a secret for years, she broke the internet when the former-country-singer-turned-pop superstar praised two Democratic candidates in her home state of Tennessee. The effect of her surprise endorsement, which was made via an Instagram post, was felt right away as thousands of people between the ages of 18 and 29 registered to vote.
In addition to that, a large number of people heaped praises for the star for finally speaking out about her political views. Many have started dubbing her "taylegend" and "tayliberal," and there are even a number of people who said she should have run for the office after that. "REPLACE ALL CONFEDERATE STATUES WITH STATUES OF TAYLOR SWIFT!!!!" one user excitedly exclaimed.
But unlike Taylor who received praises over her political views, a number of celebrities had to deal with massive backlash over the matter, even though they used to have a rather good reputation. In the wake of midterm elections, let's take a look at these stars who caused outrage with their political stance.
