Sydney Sweeney’s voter registration revealed amid American Eagle’s ‘good jeans’ ad backlash
Actress Sydney Sweeney has found herself at the center of controversy once again, this time due to her voter registration with the Republican Party of Florida. The 27-year-old “Euphoria” star has been registered in Monroe County since June 2024, as revealed by public voter records.
The news of Sweeney’s party affiliation came to light following backlash over her recent American Eagle denim campaign. Critics on the left have slammed the ad, with some even going as far as comparing it to “Nazi propaganda” promoting racism and eugenics.
In the ad, Sweeney talks about how genes are passed down from parents to offspring, referencing traits like hair color and personality before declaring, “my jeans are blue.” The controversial campaign also features a billboard with the phrase “Sydney Sweeney has great genes,” which she alters to read “jeans.”
American Eagle has defended the campaign, emphasizing that it was always about the jeans and Sweeney’s story. The company stated that they will continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence in their own unique way.
The backlash even caught the attention of the White House, with President Trump’s communications director Steven Cheung criticizing the left-wing outrage as “cancel culture run amok.” Despite the public reaction, Sweeney has yet to respond to the controversy.
This is not the first time Sweeney has faced backlash from liberal circles. In 2022, she received criticism after her family threw a birthday party for her mother where guests wore red caps with a twist on the MAGA slogan and “Blue Lives Matter” shirts. Sweeney clarified that the event was not meant to be a political statement but was misinterpreted as such.
As of now, Sweeney’s representatives have not commented on the recent controversy surrounding her voter registration and the American Eagle ad. The actress continues to navigate the spotlight with grace amidst the ongoing scrutiny from both critics and supporters.
