At first, some followers cited “safety considerations” as her cause for not making an announcement, although that justification has been criticised within the days since. As one put it, “To everybody who says that she will not be allowed to say one thing on account of security causes, that is merely not true. She threw a celebration in London yesterday, she goes to play in London 5 occasions this/subsequent week. She is clearly not in a lockdown. There’s additionally no investigation that forbids her to speak about it, as Austrian presenters overtly speak about that on social media and within the information.”
“Taylor is a model in addition to an individual, who has a PR staff behind her educated on disaster communication,” wrote one particular person. “And what they’re doing proper now could be heart-shattering and actually disrespectful to all of us who’ve had tickets for over a yr. There’s individuals who flew in from internationally for this live performance, fortunately I solely travelled via Austria. However Taylor’s staff doesn’t even have it in them to put up a damaged coronary heart emoji? We don’t want a superbly crafted assertion. We really feel left alone, it’s not an excessive amount of to ask for some response.”
For context, Taylor Swift is often fairly on high of it with regards to addressing fan considerations, a minimum of those who make the information. She posted after the TicketMaster debacle, she posted when a fan died and even met together with her household, she posted after the tragic stabbing incident, and she or he posted when a live performance needed to be rescheduled.
At the moment, she wrote on Instagram, “I’m penning this from my dressing room within the stadium. The choice has been made to postpone tonight’s present as a result of excessive temperatures in Rio. The protection and well-being of my followers, fellow performers, and crew has to and all the time will come first.”
For higher or worse, her personal actions have made it so her followers have come to anticipate a bit extra communication, and if she takes the stage in London with out having mentioned a phrase, it might be a bit of awk.
