Now can we finally get back to tracking DWAS, talking about the GRAMMYs, a potential new music release and praying for Taylor's downfall?

You'd hope. But as you can see, people now say she's only mentioning it due to backlash. She really can't win. 

I didn't even see backlash anywhere else besides here 

Alyssa Milano posted the video of the Mr Rogers song on tiktok and the comments were super positive

I'd still like her to do more. Promote call numbers for congressional politicians etc. Even if only 1 person does it as a result, thats still +1 extra.

And I will always say that there was time to speak up before now that there is really no clear reason why she wasn't more vocal. Especially when ICE was in California. 

But as someone who has been critical of her silence, I am happy she has started breaking that silence. And I hope we see the older fiery side of her when she returns for the US 2nd leg. Especially when she gets to St Paul.

Just curious what have you been doing? Have you been out protesting?

I'd only really seen backlash on here too, but I just looked on her Instagram and there's been lots of comments asking her to speak up.

Ngl the backlash was so narrow and limited it’d almost be shocking if she saw it lol

I feel this comes from a genuine place so no notes on that. It's interesting to me though how some are saying she's done it due to backlash (backlash which only comes from this forum and chronically online people on twitter). It's not only criticizing her whether she does x or y, but putting such high expectations on an entertainer - expectations that should be placed towards politicians

It is kind of funny they're trying to take the credit.

Like none of this discourse happened on tiktok so she definitely has no idea people have been talking as much as we have lol

[Tinnitus15 51,718]

Mind you, she’s the first artist of her calibre to speak about it.

To be honest it's all part of this parasocial relationship with her. The society of the spectacle has rotten brains
