Taylor Swift may have tweeted her support for those around the world who joined in the Women's March over the weekend, but many people are furious that the self-proclaimed feminist wasn't a part of the protest.
The 27-year-old singer took to Twitter on Saturday to say that she has 'so much love, price and respect for those who marched'. However, while plenty of A-list stars joined the marches across the country, she wasn't one of them.
Although some fans praised Taylor for her tweet, there were plenty of Twitter users who accused the pop star of only speaking out about feminism when it 'benefits' her.
'As a fan of yours, this is some bulls**t. You do not get to pick and choose when feminism benefits you,' a woman named Alyssa commented.
'If you were really for feminism, you would have spoken up against Donald Trump instead of just saying to vote on Election Day. But instead you claim to be a feminist when it benefits you.'
The backlash was so harsh that rock duo Best Coast sent a tweet to Taylor saying: 'Bless your heart for this.'
More than half a million people took to the streets in Washington, D.C. to stand for women's rights, with more than two million more demonstrating around the world
Taylor Swift has stated that she is a feminist numerous times, and she is known for proudly supporting in her famous girl squad. But many argued that she could be using her platform more, particulalry by joining the Women's March.
Chris Rollins, who participated in the peaceful protest, tweeted: 'This is gross opportunism. Be better.'
'He's not bragging; he's stating fact,' the person wrote. 'Taylor Swift is only a feminist when it's convenient for her. She's done more two hurt feminism than help.'

Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.
Shake it off.
With Democrats, they damn you if you do, and damn you if you don’t. There is no pleasing them
She doesn’t give a $hit about the #MarchOfDames
“When ‘Virtue Signalling’ Goes Wrong”
She’s done more two hurt feminism than help.’
..statement say’s a lot
Why doesn’t she show some moxie—and some love—by joining the March for Life on Friday!!!!
Really!!!!
Love it! Lefties are ripping their fragile coalition apart.
What a bunch of bitches
Being associated with the skanks that spoke at the rally this weekend would do more damage to the TS brand than the little backlash of ignorants telling her what she should and shouldn’t do now. TS, tell them to f-off.
Another daily dose of Cultural Marxism, to be force fed orally, anally, subcutaneously or by any other method they deem appropriate.
They just got Pictures to Burn.
She was their in Their Wildest Dreams.
They could have said "Welcome to New York" but this feminazi Bull S**t is out of Style! XD
They turn on their own as fast as they attack anyone that is average or normal.
Their m.o. is to force everyone to their beliefs... or else.
They are losing their “war” because they claim victory in every battle no matter what the actual outcome was.
They are convincing the majority of the population the liberal agenda is false, unworkable and destructive.
A year or two of having the conservative adults in charge with their inevitable successes will drive “progressives” to acts of overt madness.
.
There is a scene in Blazing Saddles where the governor says “I didn’t get a Harum from that guy”. And that’s how leftists are. Nobody is allowed to sit on the sideline - they expect celebrities to sing the praises of the leftist agenda...or else.
She is not a leader and an activist despite having 83 Million twitter followers. Think they are saying to her is put up or shut up? I think she wants to appeal to both sides?
ALL must be forced to kneel at the altar of collectivism... a jealous god indeed!
It highlights the problem the right has with art, music, and theater. We need to develop our own, separate from the lefts idea of “art.” It’s becoming increasingly difficult for artists to simply stay out of it which is probably what Taylor Swift was looking to achieve.
I really think we all should start referring to this march as ‘The Leftist Women’s March’. How dare they pretend they speak for all women?? And I am enjoying the Left destroying their own for not stepping up to the national plate.
Not only do they spew hate at those who oppose them but to their own. Typical liberal mentality.
