Taylor Swift Was Slammed for "Shamelessly" Promoting Amid Israel-Palestine Conflict

Daily Mail and Mirror shared reactions from the public after Swift pushed through with the premiere.

One of the screenshots featured an Instagram Story made by Meghan McCain, who reposted Swift's update alongside the text: "Terrible timing. Kids are getting raped. Innocent people are dying on both sides. Hamas!! A terrorist organisation is slaughtering Israelis...but it's 'launch day'??? I'm super disappointed in her."

Some also slammed her for maintaining her silence while other celebrities used their platforms to show their support for Israel.

A user said on X, "The silence from Taylor swift on the Israel/Palestine situation is deafening."

"#TaylorWhereAreYou I'm not the only one wondering why #TaylorSwift hasn't weighed in on the atrocities in Israel. That she hasn't, on day SIX, is horrifying," Dr. Logan Levkoff tweeted.

Swift suffered condemnation as the public pointed out that she was quick to speak against Donald Trump and Marsha Blackburn but chose to stay silent when children and innocent people were being killed in Israel.

Meanwhile, fans also defended Swift and said she does not need to get involved in complicated topics.

In the latest update from Israel, the country said that at least 1,300 people were killed during the rocket attacks and sudden raids. Meanwhile, at least 3,000 people sustained wounds and injuries.

The total number of hostages has yet to be confirmed, but 97 of them have since been identified.

Videos of horrifying attacks are currently taking over the internet, showing helpless and innocent people suffering at the hands of Hamas militants.
