Taylor Swift is Time magazine’s Person of the Year and she’s made it quite clear that she does not care about Palestine and the ongoing crisis. Not enough to talk about it or donate or even like a post. What we can’t understand is why Time chose this year to make Swift their Person of the Year. Isn’t there something else, something very serious going on? Perhaps the annihilation of the people of Gaza?

Look, we love Taylor Swift’s music. We’re ‘Cruel Summer’ girlies and we aren’t ashamed to say it, but to choose this year to celebrate music and celebrity over celebrating human resilience and bravery is, quite frankly, insane.

Especially because, amidst all of the suffering and violence, Swift has been silent. Unlike many of her fellow artists and celebrities, she’s been entirely silent.
