About the criticism @taylorswift is getting from....us? Her fans?
Guys, girls, my fellow SWIFTIES((or ones I thought were Swifties)), what are ya'll doing?? @taylorswift was one of the FIRST public figures to directly call out Trump, in a tweet that flat out expresses where Taylor stands on this matter. She didn't simply say "This is wrong, Black Lives Matter", I could understand the let down if that were the case. No the tweet said, and I quote
"After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? 'When the looting starts the shooting starts'??? We will vote you out in November."<<and she even tagged him in the post to make sure he saw it>>
Now, tell me how that's not her doing something? It was a start. She has also publicly on Twitter and other platforms made sure to make her stance known on mail in voting ballots, so that we can vote him out. She also has currently on her Twitter page a link to the article President Barack Obama wrote. Also, as of me writing this she has tweeted again about the situation. Here's the quoted text of that tweet:
"Racial injustice has been ingrained deeply into local and state governments, and changes MUST be made there. In order for policies to change, we need to elect people who will fight against police brutality and racism of any kind"<<then she tagged Black Lives Matter>>
Furthermore, if you are a true fan of Taylor then you KNOW she has made donations of some kind. Probably very big donations. You're mad that she's not out marching? Ok, be upset about that one fact. I personally understand why she's not. @taylorswift knows very well if she does, she will STILL be criticized and more importantly it will become all about her and not the March she attended. She does not want that.
Its important to also point out what I've seen other TRUE fans say. Taylor is not vague in her public statements about injustices. She directly calls out powerful, scary, and shady people BY NAME. This is a woman who carries wound dressing on her at all times, because the idea of her being attacked IS THAT REAL. I know people will say "Well this celebrity marched, and this celebrity was here" and that is AMAZING, that's how they chose to support the cause and it's great. Name me one of those celebrities that are a- as misunderstood as Taylor b- called out for anything and everything they do, right or wrong, it's always wrong in the media's eyes c- did the fact that those celebrities were there cause the entire point of the march to shift and all the attention be put on them so that later the public can say they were only there because they were being accused of being racist?. I could go on and on, but I really hope you get the point.
I have followed Taylor since the very beginning, and I mean that. I was 19 when I first saw "Tim Mcgraw" on my tv(I've told the story many times so I won't go into detail here). I've seen her go from being America's Sweetheart that "saved country music" and could do no wrong, to being the most hated musician, like she says in her Miss Americana Documentary "do you know how many people have to be tweeting that they hate you for that((being number 1 trending in the world- referring to the whole I hate Taylor Swift// Taylor Swift is Over))to happen?". I've watched her take all that and do the thing she advises other artists to do, she kept making art. She did take a break for her mental health and that was necessary, but she came back out on top. Why? Because she is GROWING AND LEARNING with each day and each lesson she has to learn the hard way, she is constantly trying to be better than she was. She is constantly helping people. She has acknowledged, on many occasions, her privilege and that she knows without it, her assault trial for example, her life could have gone a completely different way. She gives so much of herself to US, the FANS. And this is how we repay her? The woman that opens up her HOME to us, trusts us, helps us financially, etc.
I'll end this on these couple of thoughts. One is, for all we know(God Forbid and I really hope this isn't the case) her Mom's Cancer could be worse or she could be going through a chemo round and Taylor is simply being a daughter to a sick Mom. I really hope and pray for her that is not it (my mother has battled cancer as well so I know how she feels). She could be planning something bigger to help people during this time. She also may remember this scary thing called Coronavirus, and that being around that many people could expose her and then possibly expose her Mom. She could be doing so many things that we don't know of yet. My point is, you, we, have no idea what she is going through or how she is helping behind the scenes or planning to help in the near future.
For those who went to the reputation tour, she sang "Long Live" for us, because we've always been there for her. It saddens me that fans are turning on her at a time like this, when we should all be embracing each other and understanding that everyone deals with things differently. But you can not say she has been "radio silent" or that she is ignoring this therefore calling her a hypocrite because of how adamant she was about not being silenced anymore in Miss Americana. She hasn't been silent. So I really don't understand how WE THE FANS are coming for her. The rest of the World, I get it. They always come for her. But I thought we were better.
So to the fake swifties, don't come back. Don't praise any good she does, you've made your stance clear and there is no room for that negativity in this World, or this fandom.
To @taylorswift I stand by you, I see you, I hear you, I admire you, I will never ever turn my back on you because through it all, you've never turned your back on me. I love you. Stay strong. Keep doing what YOU FEEL IS RIGHT.
