It&#8217;s for American Eagle, and the jeans are &#8216;flying off the shelves&#8217;.

She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became NO LONGER HOT. The tide has seriously turned &#8211; Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be. Thank you for your attention to this matter!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nA public database in Florida shows that Sweeney, 27, was registered as a Republican voter in the state last June &#8211; with the matter being discovered by a YouTuber who came across it as she put together a profile of The White Lotus star.<\/p>\n<p>\nAmerican Eagle defended the actress last week after the campaign&#8217;s tagline &#8216;Sydney Sweeney has great jeans&#8217; was criticised because the phrase &#8220;great genes&#8221; is associated with eugenicists &#8211; who argue that humanity can be improved genetically through selective breeding.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe company wrote in an Instagram post: &#8220;&#8216;Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans&#8217; is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We&#8217;ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nSydney revealed that she was &#8220;freaking out&#8221; when she was approached to star in the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said:  &#8220;I was freaking out because I was like, &#8216;This is perfect&#8217;, and I was so excited.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;When they were like, &#8216;We want it to be a denim campaign&#8217;, I was through the roof.
