Taylor Swift Tweets About the Women's March

The Women's March on Washington and the hundreds of sister marches around the world drew enormous crowds on Saturday, January 21. More than 2 million people alone are estimated to have attended the four marches in Washington D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City, and hundreds of thousands others came out in support of women's rights in other cities.

Among the marchers were a ton of A-list celebrities. Stars like Rihanna, Zendaya, Rowan Blanchard, Bella Thorne, Ariana Grande, and Miley Cyrus added their voices to the cause, walking alongside regular citizens.

One celebrity who was noticeably absent from the marches was Taylor Swift. However, yesterday, Taylor took to Twitter to share her support of the Women's March. "So much love, pride, and respect for those who marched," she wrote. "I'm proud to be a woman today, and every day."

According to BuzzFeed, many of Taylor's fans were not happy with her tweet. One woman wrote, "As a fan of yours, this is some bullsh*t. You do not get to pick and choose when feminism benefits you."

Another person asked, "But where were you during the entire election?"

One fan inquired, "you got a bad leg or something? Why didn't you March?"

But some of Taylor's fans responded positively to her tweet, thanking her for her support and well wishes.

While Taylor's presence would have been important, none of us know why she didn't attend the Women's March. And regardless of how people might feel about Taylor's choice to speak out on Twitter instead of showing up in person, it's important to remember that celebrities deserve respect just as much as "regular" people do. Ultimately, Taylor's tweet was a positive gesture, and perhaps we should accept it as such and move on. After all, tearing down another woman is never the answer.
