Translator(Brave Search): Sweeney herself rarely expressed political views for a long time. Interviews remained low-key, and statements on social issues were infrequent. It was precisely this reticence that made her a target for projection: In an environment where many celebrities openly take a stand, her silence was interpreted as tacit agreement.
In a promotional interview for "The Housemaid," Sweeney rejected the labeling of herself as belonging to the right-wing scene. She explained that she did not want to be "politically co-opted" and did not see herself as a vehicle for political messages. Unlike many other prominent female artists, she thus refrained from a political self-definition. Instead, she limited herself to a factual clarification that the labels did not correspond to her self-understanding.
Studies and media analyses also show that Sweeney's own contribution to the right-wing co-optation was minimal. The narratives originated predominantly outside her sphere of influence—on social networks or through political influencers. Sweeney herself remained largely passive.
