Sydney Sweeney’s name is making headlines again, and this time it’s about politics. Public voter registration records, reviewed by Newsweek and other outlets, show that the Euphoria star has been registered as a Republican voter in Florida since June 2024. The news comes while she’s already under fire for a controversial American Eagle ad campaign.

According to Florida Department of State records, Sweeney registered in Monroe County on June 14, 2024, with an active status in the Republican Party of Florida. In simple terms, she is officially signed up and eligible to vote in the state’s elections.

The first buzz about her political affiliation came from a viral post on X by user @time222smoke, who claimed she was a registered Republican.

This revelation comes at a tense time for the actress. She’s already facing heavy criticism for an American Eagle ad that plays on the words “genes” and “jeans.” In the commercial, she says, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color…my jeans are blue.” Many online users have taken this as a subtle nod to eugenics, especially since Sweeney is blonde, blue-eyed, and white.

A viral TikTok by @thealtperspective, with over 1.8 million views, called it “literally an ad FULL of racist and fascist dog whistles.” Dr. Brett Staniland, a model and sustainable fashion advocate, told Newsweek the ad “has sparked backlash for multiple reasons—firstly the terminology and its inferences suggest a connection to Sydney Sweeney’s appearance being perfect, denoting her blonde hair, blue eyes and white skin.”

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung pushed back at the criticism, calling it “dense liberal thinking” and “cancel culture run amok.”

This is not the first time Sweeney has been at the center of a political storm. Back in 2022, she was criticized for posting pictures from her mother’s 60th birthday party where guests wore red MAGA-style hats and “Blue Lives Matter” gear. She quickly responded, saying, “An innocent celebration for my mom’s milestone 60th birthday has turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention. Please stop making assumptions.”

So far, Sweeney has not commented on her political registration or the new wave of backlash.

Despite all the controversy, American Eagle doesn’t seem to be hurting from it. Reports say the company’s stock rose about 4 percent after the campaign launched. For her supporters, the backlash is just another example of people trying to cancel a celebrity for their personal beliefs. For her critics, the combination of the ad and her political affiliation paints a troubling picture.

Either way, Sydney Sweeney’s name is once again dominating conversations online, mixing politics, pop culture, and celebrity branding in a way that shows no sign of slowing down.
