why we SHOULD hold Taylor accountable for her silence on Palestine.
if you’re a swiftie, you’ve probably seen what is going on. #swiftiesforpalestine is a popular hashtag and movement that has been happening. The point: get Taylor Swift to speak up about Palestine. WHY is this important? WHY are we mad at her for not speaking up? Let me voice my thoughts:
the reason it is a problem Taylor Swift has not spoken up is simple. What is happening in Palestine is a genocide. There is no way Taylor is not aware of what is happening. Innocent people, innocent BABIES are dying every single day. Taylor Swift is one of the most popular celebrities, with arguably the most influence over people, especially in the west. Her speaking up about Palestine? That would cause a land slide of donations, awareness, aid. Don’t try to argue against that. You know it would. One post on her story would boost the donation so much. One word from her lips could help so so so much.
please understand the people participating in this movement don’t believe taylor swift can fix this genocide or stop it completely. But she could help a lot; and I’m pretty sure she knows that.
no, it is not Taylor’s job to talk about politics. She is a musician. But she is also a human, who should understand that innocent lives are being lost everyday and staying silent = complicity, especially to someone of her social status. Especially someone who is a role model to so many people.
Is it plain arrogance? Does she just not care? Will we ever know?
Taylor Swift, please speak up. Don’t be complicit to this awful genocide.
If she does tomorrow a “Stay stay stay”&”the bolter”&”thanK you aIKMee” three mashup during surprise tracks session i will be fully tortured for three weeks…
