In an effort to salvage the tour, Swift took to social media again—this time to address the backlash and the dip in ticket sales. In a video posted to her Instagram,
Swift appeared more vulnerable than usual, clearly shaken by the sudden turn of events. “Hey guys, I just wanted to talk to you all about what’s been going on,”
Swift began, her voice cracking slightly. “I’ve always believed in standing up for what I think is right, and I don’t regret endorsing Kamala. But I never meant to alienate any of my fans.
I love you all so much, and I hope we can get through this together.” The video, while heartfelt, did little to stem the tide of disgruntled fans.
Within minutes of the post going live, Swifties began flooding the comments with complaints, accusations, and even calls for Swift to cancel the tour altogether.
“Too little, too late,” one fan wrote. “You’ve lost us, Taylor. Stick to singing.” Another added, “I came here for ‘You Belong with Me,’ not ‘You Should Vote for Kamala.’”
