Taylor Swift endorses Kamala, internet reminds her of silence on Gaza genocide

Taylor Swift on Wednesday repeated her call for fans to register to vote in the US presidential election as she accepted MTV’s top Video Music Award.

Swift won the Video of the Year for “Fortnight,” which also featured Post Malone, and thanked her loyal Swifties for bestowing her with the fan-chosen award, which she took home for the third straight year.

“To the fans, I’m always trying to figure out a way to say thank you to you for making my life what it is,” Swift, who directed the video, said onstage.

“If you are over 18 please register to vote for something else that is very important,” she added.

The 34-year-old international megastar’s call follows her endorsement of Kamala Harris in the minutes after the previous evening’s presidential debate between the Democratic hopeful and Republican Donald Trump.

“I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” Swift said in a lengthy Instagram post in throwing her support behind the Democratic nominee.

Criticism by the Internet

However, netizens lambasted her for not criticizing Israel for the past year despite her activism against oppression all around the world and especially against government policies. Some reminded her of supporting a candidate who is pro-genocide, implying Kamala’s pro-Israel stance.
