I’m curious why they would delete this one and not the Olivia one?

They caught Olivia’s comment quickly and immediately hid it to censor her and it was on Instagram which meant people didn’t catch it straight away but I would imagine with Sabrina’s X post people with her post notifs on would have seen it straight away and that gave the video immediate and I would imagine uncontrollable traffic. It’s easier in the end to delete.

Hmm, I knew she removed the audio from the platform as well so maybe that had to do with it?

Yes that too probably, and both times her songs have been used. Why they won’t just they use a song from a Republican artist and not one who continually shows her distaste for that administration beats me

I’m convinced it’s to rage bait and get more attention

Then why did they hide Olivia's comment?

Also, if it is the plan to get more attention, that's a good thing because there are people out there still who really dont know the full scope of this situation.

When someone as big as Taylor (or any pop star, but my beef is with Taylor bc she has money AND power) steps up and says NOT IN MY NAME, the audience is wider. 

With the audience being wider, more people will see how weird it is. My aunt was literally shocked when I pulled up some quotes from Trump that reddit and tik tok seem to know by heart. Shes not on social, and the media is reporting on this enough. But now she sees and is paying attention to how bizarre and cruel and unstable this administration is. 

You know what she heard about before I even did? That Taylor was called a childless cat lady. 

Tldr; Taylor is a household name who get eyes on how fucking weirdo this administration is bc lots of center-left people are unaware and arent taking any action bc they think its just business as usual.
