For the most part, Taylor Swift makes the wise business decision to stay out of politics, but it doesn’t stop her rabid fans from trying to force her into a particular stance online.
Yesterday, #SwiftiesForPalestine started trending on X, attempting to strong-arm the singer into making a statement. Over sixteen thousand posts were made during the hashtag’s peak trending hours, with many of the posts being calls for boycotts of companies like Starbucks and McDonald's and others falling into the realm of the ridiculous, accusing others of misogyny for not supporting the hashtag effort.
A large number of posts regarding a suspended account, @LegitTayUpdates, has been circulating in the #SwiftiesForPalestine community as well, chronicling how the account claimed to be in Israel and has allegedly been arrested for refusing to join the IDF.
Before X suspended the account, Vogue interviewed the person behind the tweets, who claimed she was a nineteen-year-old girl living in Southern Israel.
The focus of the hashtag, however, appears to be to try to get Taylor Swift to condemn Israeli action in Palestine and call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Several different accounts have been posting the same image, which implores Swift to “stay on the right side of history,” a reference to the first time the singer waded into the political realm to endorse a Tennessee Democratic candidate for the Senate. This move turned off many of her non-activist fans and proved useless as Republican Marsha Blackburn cruised to a landslide victory.
Swift also endorsed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the 2020 election, citing their friendliness to the LGBTQ community as one of the reasons for the move.

Get a life, people!
With such big dollars at stake and such a divide on the topic across the globe, Swift would be wise not to wade into the political waters and divide her audience as she did in 2018 and 2020. Her words would do nothing to aid either the Israelis or Palestinians and would only serve to divide her audience.
SHe isn’t that stupid.
It would blow her fanbase apart like a nuclear bomb...............
BOTS, BOTS and more BOTS…. IMHO.
Swifties for satan.
“makes the wise business decision to stay out of politics”
Disagree. Posted that the Dobbs decision returning abortion law to the states last year was a dark day for America. On her tour before this last one was giving lectures on gay marriage.
She’s a libtard. She will support a cease fire.
Pick a side Taylor
Who gives a frogs-fat-ass what this skank thinks about anything?
If Taylor Swift comes out for Hamas, that may just be the the final straw which tips me to supporting Israel to do whatever it wants.
Oh she broached the political some time ago now. Swifty is a lefty for sure. No broken heart here since I was never a fan. That said it hasn’t hurt her much financially. Spiritually and mentally perhaps a different story.

They refuse to oppose murder, rape and infanticide?
#NotTooSwifties
These swiftys are so g.d. annoying. Almost as annoying as Swift’s music.
The dumbass entertainer came out for Hillary when she was running against Trump so she’s fair game in the political discussion.
There’s a video of a reporter asking Elvis a “got ya” question, I think it was about Vietnam and his response was “I’m just an entertainer and I’d like to keep my thoughts on that to myself.”
Today’s paid clowns could learn from Elvis.
