According to publicly available records reviewed by multiple outlets, Sydney registered as a Republican Party member in Florida back in June 2024.
Social media has since gone wild with reactions to the news. See some of the reactions inside.
This isn’t the first time Sydney’s politics have drawn attention: back in 2022, she faced criticism for photos from her mother’s 60th birthday party, where some guests wore MAGA-style hats and “Blue Lives Matter” gear. At the time, she said the celebration was misinterpreted as a political statement.
As of now, Sydney hasn’t publicly commented on her voter registration or the new controversy. Meanwhile, American Eagle’s stock reportedly jumped 4% following the campaign, suggesting the drama hasn’t slowed sales.
