This will probably be an unpopular opinion but this is how I feel in regards to Taylor not speaking more on BLM issues over the past couple of days. Again this is my opinion and obviously I do not know any of her reasoning, but this is what I believe could be at least in part.
In Miss Americana @taylorswift said she would not hesitate to speak out on things going forward and she has spoken out on this in a couple of different ways. Some people feel that she has not said or done enough.
We know that Taylor donates regularly to a variety of causes and is not always public about it. I believe she has made contributions that we don’t know about.
We also don’t know what else she is working on privately/behind the scenes. She could have projects in the works, be reaching out directly to organizations or legislators to organize something. These conversations take time. One thing I know is that she will not sit back and do the bare minimum. She never has in the past and I am absolutely confident she will not now either.
In regards to her social media presence:
In my opinion if she is on social media constantly tweeting/posting it dilutes the impact of her posts. People will get tired of hearing from her and no longer pay attention. The fact that she chooses her moments and words carefully and doesn’t constantly put herself on blast to me a) Increases the impact of her voice when she does speak on something like this and b) Shows respect for the issue at hand and that she doesn’t want the media attention on her but rather the protests and the black voices who should be amplified. She recognizes her privilege and celebrity and doesn’t want the attention on her or what she’s doing and I 100% respect that. 💗
