Xavier Collin/Image Press Agency Sydney Sweeney just can't avoid controversy. The Euphoria star is facing backlash over her political affiliation after she was accused of promoting white supremacy in a recent American Eagle ad campaign. American Eagle used wordplay to celebrate the Emmy nominee's "great jeans" and "great genes," but critics were quick to point out that highlighting a thin white woman with blonde hair and blue eyes as the physical ideal is a dog whistle for eugenics. There has been curiosity surrounding Sweeney's political beliefs since her family wore "Make America Great Again"-inspired hats reading "Make Sixty Great Again" during her mother's 60th birthday party in 2022. After fans accused her of supporting Donald Trump, Sweeney took to X to stress that her mom's birthday party was "an innocent celebration" that "turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention." You guys this is wild. An innocent celebration for my moms milestone 60th birthday has turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention. Please stop making assumptions. Much love to everyone and Happy Birthday Mom!- Sydney Sweeney (@sydney_sweeney) August 27, 2022 However, critics might've been right about their initial analysis, as The Guardian reported on Aug. 3 that the actress registered as a Republican in the state of Florida months before the 2024 presidential election. While Voter Information Lookup can't specify how someone ultimately voted, her association with the Republican Party was enough for some fans to turn on her. Finding out that Sydney Sweeney is a Republican is like learning your favorite baseball player thinks Trump is cool: you mean this white person from a conservative family who didn't graduate college has the same politics as most white people who didn't graduate college?!?- Mike Mitchell (@MikeMitchNH) August 3, 2025 "Finding out that Sydney Sweeney is a Republican is like learning your favorite baseball player thinks Trump is cool: you mean this white person from a conservative family who didn't graduate college has the same politics as most white people who didn't graduate college?!?" one person wrote on X. "Let the record show I am really not shocked Sydney Sweeney is a Republican," another joked. "I'm shocked she's an active Republican because that face looks like it's never seen a ballot." While people on the left rushed to mock Sweeney, Trump and the Republicans quickly came to the blonde's defense. "Does nobody else think that Sydney Sweeney's address being doxxed on her voter registration for being a Republican feels like voter intimidation? Can't even be proud of your jeans in 2025," one user pointed out. Trump, meanwhile, wrote on Truth Social, "Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the HOTTEST ad out there. Go get 'em Sydney."
