Taylor Swift‘s European leg of the Eras Tour hit a bump. Due to heavy terrorist threats, the mega pop star has been forced to cancel three shows in Vienna.
Two radicalized individuals, who were planning to kill “as many people as possible” using knives and homemade explosives at Swift’s shows, have been arrested.
Taylor Swift will perform five shows in the UK capital before returning to American soil for a lengthy break.
Swift is flying back home straight into a political situation that could become complicated for her, depending on how she handles it.
It is no secret that she is not a fan of Donald Trump. In 2020, Taylor Swift tweeted: “After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts, the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump.”
Her supporters are eagerly anticipating Swift’s potential political involvement. Swifties are hopeful that the iconic star will take the giant leap of faith and jump into the race with her heart and the power of her voice, backing Kamala Harris.
It is unthinkable that Swift, who is famous for being a proud feminist and the ultimate girl’s girl, will not endorse, support, and donate to the first woman of color with a clear shot at winning the presidency in the United States.
Whether she likes it or not, Swift will feel the Swifties’ pressure to get involved. Thousands of her backers are already actively pushing the Harris and Tim Walz ticket to the finish line.
Swift might also be under a microscope because of Beyoncé‘s stunning and unprecedented decision to support Kamala Harris’s campaign. This could potentially influence Swift’s own political actions.
The music legend has authorized Harris to use her song “Freedom” during her campaign. The track is being used in ads released by Harris.
However, the artist and mother of three will go one step further — she will put her money where her mouth is. Beyoncé believes Harris’s vision for America aligns with hers, so she wants to donate at least 4 million dollars to the campaign.
She has also cleared out her schedule to tour the country supporting Harris. A source close to Jay Z‘s wife told The Daily Mail: “Beyoncé decided to step back after people close to her showed her Project 25. Beyoncé has cleared her schedule to attend a Kamala Harris fundraiser.”
The insider continued: “She feels the stakes are too high and believes in Kamala‘s vision for America. She has set aside $4 million to donate to the campaign and plans to donate more if she sees the need to.”
Swift is proud of what her friend, Beyoncé, is doing. While recognizing the significant impact she could have on the upcoming election, Swift has decided to move when the time is right.
