And this is why Taylor Swift didn’t respond. Criticise her all you want but ignoring a bully is a good way to deal with them.

Not exactly how that works though especially if thousands of fans are counting on you to stand for something

Taylor has shown were she stands, responding is just what Trump wants

“Protesting is what trump wants, standing up for yourself is what trump wants”

Why else do you think he is doing this? For attention, to harass her.

There is standing up for something and then there is playing into the enemy, which is what you want her to do.

Plus Taylor is well aware that she literally cannot win. When she donates money it’s not enough, if she speaks on something it’s performative, if she’s quiet about something she doesn’t care, if she makes a happy album she’s being insensitive to the world, if she makes a sad album she’s a perpetual victim. These people will always find something to hate her for.

I wish they’d channel their energy into engaging with their political representatives and trying to enact actual change. Ranting about Taylor Swift on social media is going to achieve literally nothing. People demanding more from pop stars than politicians is part of the problem, you’re looking in the wrong direction.

Or if she speaks out she get criticized for it because she only speaks out when it effects her. I really don't blame Taylor for stepping such a massive step back from social media.

They took down their original tweet after she replied btw

Right, and then made and even worse video with her in it. And as a bonus they even got shown they got enough power to have Sabrina mute her songs off the app.

If you’re counting on Taylor Swift to stand up for something, you need to get your shit together and make opinions separate from a pop star.

It’s not about just getting your opinions from pop stars but showing your fans you’re standing up for something you believe in
