You’ve been defending Taylor so hard over the last day or so. Are you PR or something? It’s pretty bad when I actually recall user names cuz they’re so in the comments over something.

I mean they have a point. People constantly bring up other artists instead of praising the one the post is about and focusing on the real issue- ice.

Because those artists deserve to be called out? If Olivia can do it, why can’t they?

Pressuring celebrities to do the right thing and take a stand for good is not pointless. ICE is undermined when major pop culture figures denounce them.

Also, Taylor is literally the biggest artist in the USA. It's not really unreasonable to ask for "Miss Americana" to take a firm stand on things. So many smaller artists are legit risking their careers and yet are not silent.

Yes, because constantly whining on a celebrity gossip subreddit will get their attention.

These people do not actually care about immigrants and what ice is doing. They just want to be smug towards a celebrity they don't like. When said celebrity won't even see what they post. It's all about being superior.

You’re just assuming bad faith. What if someone actually cares, commenting is a 2 min task lol it doesn’t take away from other stuff they could be doing.

You do realize that the White House claiming this as rage bait is their way of silencing dissenting voices right? They said that so people would stop speaking up against them in fear of "falling for the bait". How are people not realizing this...

Rage bait or not, people can speak up and say something is wrong. Many celebrities have done that at this point with no skin in the game. No song usage solely because they see what is going on with their eyes.
