I really hope taylor swift would post about supporting palestine and not “neutral” or “peace on both sides”. please @taylorswift13 do something you’re literally the biggest person on earth right now and your voice matters so much.
— M Fachriza Arifin (@fachrizaalghani) October 31, 2023
The official Israel social media account also posted a picture of a guard who worked with her on her Eras Tour who went back to Israel to help in the war.
@CommunityNotes @elonmusk Eran was the security liaison for the Stadium that Taylor performed at and not her personal bodyguard. The blatant false propaganda off the back of Taylor is vile and disgusting – do your job or are you just correcting the politics you’re biased for?
