WHAT?

Little wasn't the right word, but point still stands.

Obviously, nothing a pop star says is going to make it possible to take back a tragedy; nothing they say is even going to do much to assuage a national sense of hurt.

So....why shame them?

But musicians, bearing the special connection they do with fans and in particular the sort of fans who might frequent gay clubs, can do something. Surely someone has felt less alone thanks to their idol expressing concern in the wake of Orlando’s mass shooting—what more can one ask?

Or they need to grow up and get some self-estem. If they say something that's nice that's great, but they don't owe their fans anything, other than the paid for album or concert.

Nicki said nothing about gay marriage being legalized last year either. She was the only Pop Girl that didn't say anything at all whatsoever.

Kinda fishy knowing she also has history of dropping the f-bomb in her songs before fame.

She also has a history of showing support to the gay community.

media always trying to stir things up and make things seem worse then what it is.

No lies but are we really that surprised? Taylor only speaks on topics that concern her bank account / make her look more powerful to the world and Nicki only becomes a social activism for racism whenever her career isn't reaching the heights of other (coincidentally also black) artists in sales or award nominations.

So you're telling me that you expect Neo Nazi Nicki or hill billy Taylor to be sad for the killing of gays?

Rihanna also said NOTHING.

My parents work 10 hour shifts every day without cellphones or TVs at their workplaces and come back discussing it... She's not isolated in an igloo in Alaska as if she doesn't have 100 people working beside her.

Please stop this, it's so cringeworthy to read and see. Admit when your fave is wrong. She's more worried about keeping her reputation in her "hood" or as a "hardcore rapper" and how others might see her acknowledging the lives of gay people.

Rihanna has shown a lot of support to the gay community though

[Hunter_13]

What about Bruno Mars or Rihanna? Or the various other male artists that haven't spoken on it? Silly to single out Taylor and Nicki.

Plus, Taylor tends to be more bts with stuff.

It's impossible to not know. It's literally everywhere, not just on social media.

[rockabella]

ngl i am kinda annoyed that shakira didn't say anything either. most of the victims were gay latinos so i really wish she would have said something though she might have bts

This isn't something you talk about when you're around Nicki Minaj.

[Rolex]

As a fan of Rih and Nicki I was disappointed that neither acknowledged it at all.

If i'm honest I'm not surprised that Taylor didn't

Ppl dragged Bey as well for not standing up for BLM and it turns out the whole time she was bts heavily involved in getting the streets cleaned up, donating supplies to protesters and bailing them out of jail on the low.

The irritating thing about all this is that these celebrities are really rich and powerful and can have a much bigger influence behind the scenes. For all we know Taylor could have immediately dropped a ton of $$$ to promote some form of charity or something similar, but instead people are dragging her because she didn't drop a tweet about it, like that's supposed to really do anything?

The problem is that Taylor is such a huge celebrity that any involvement she has with current issues turns the narrative away from the issue itself and onto her. Suddenly there would be article after article talking about her support specifically which would ultimately detract from the tragedy itself.
