Taylor Swift was spotted attending Ramy Youssef's "More Feelings" tour in Brooklyn, New York along with Selena Gomez over the weekend; the little girls' night ended up on Megyn Kelly's radar.
"I hope they boycott her events until she issues it because attending this thing was wrong," said Kelly, during "The Megyn Kelly Show."
According to reports, the "More Feelings" tour's proceeds will be donated to American Near East Refugee Aid, which aims to provide "humanitarian relief to the people of Gaza."
"Taylor Swift, who has been out there tweeting about her support for the LGBTQ community, you know what they do to that community in Gaza, Taylor, that you now want to support," the former news anchor added.
Taylor Swift Attends Gaza Fundraising Event
This is the first time Swift has seemingly shown her support in the longstanding conflict going on between Israel and Hamas over the Gaza Strip.
"Who's talked about her support for women, her opposition to certain Republican lawmakers who don't support women in the way Taylor sees fit," Kelly continued in her SiriusXM show on Dec. 12.
"You know what they do to women? You know what Hamas likes to do to women? You think we have equal rights over there, Taylor?"
Kelly also demanded an apology on behalf of Israelis and Jewish Americans and also demanded the "Cruel Summer" singer do her research.
"You clearly know nothing," Kelly added.
According to Page Six, other celebrities also attended the event, including Cara Delevingne, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Zoe Kravitz.
Selena Gomez Receives Backlash Over Instagram Statement
Elsewhere in the show, Kelly's guest, Andrew Klavan, had this to say regarding Swift's attendance at the event: "She's a likable pop star, and I guess all I can say about that is I don't turn to my pop stars for political wisdom.
"I wish they would shut up and sing," he added.
The "You Belong With Me" singer is not the only one who received flak over her stance in the conflict. According to reports, Gomez also received backlash over a statement she issued on Oct. 30 on Instagram regarding the Israel-Hamas war.
"I've been taking a break from social media because my heart breaks to see all of the horror, hate, violence, and terror that's going on in the world," Gomez wrote in an Instagram Story.
"[...] I'm sorry if my words will never be enough for everyone or a hashtag. I just can't stand by innocent people getting hurt [...]"
Her statement was met with criticisms from netizens who claimed she was not using her platform well enough to educate and enlighten people about the war.
