背景:
1. Taylor swift最近在维也纳三场演唱会取消,原因是潜在的恐怖袭击。奥地利警方抓捕了三个嫌疑人,已经认罪的其中一个嫌疑人承认从7月底就开始策划袭击泰勒•斯威夫特三场演唱会中的一场。他已经有了自己制作的功能性液体炸药。据说他计划在周四(8月8日)或周五(8月9日)将车开到恩斯特勒•哈佩尔体育场 (Ernst Happel Stadium)外歌迷的人群中或人群前,目的是用爆炸装置和切割、刺杀性武器杀死尽可能多的人。奥地利联邦总理卡尔•内哈默(KarlNehammer)表示:“我们仍然处于四级恐袭警戒状态。即使不再有具体的威胁。
之后,社交媒体上很多黑粉不断施压让她出来对此发表看法,并且让她谈自己的政治倾向和对巴以战争的态度。
她发表了最新声明总结如下,其中她强调“她强调,面对可能危及粉丝安全的事情,她会选择沉默,因为“沉默”有时是一种克制。”(我的个人翻译和理解)


2. 提到这点主要因为看到有人说Taylor父亲是川粉。
上次中期选举的时候,Taylor Swift不顾父亲的反对,公开支持拜登。她父亲一直反对她公开发表政治看法。在采访中他回应: "I''ve read the entire [statement] and... right now, I''m terrified. I''m the guy that went out and bought armored cars," he confessed to Taylorbefore she published the statement.” (我已经读完了整个声明……现在我很害怕。我就是那个出去买了防弹车的人。)
而泰勒表示理解父亲但是决定追随内心的决定:Taylor proceeded with her decision. "This was a situation where, from a humanitarian perspective, and based on what my moral compass was telling me, I knew it was right, and I really didn''t care about the repercussions,"she explained. However, she empathized with her father''s worries. "My dad is terrified of threats against my safety and my life, and he has to deal with how many stalkers we encounter on a daily basis. He knows that this is his kid. It''s where he comes from."

"A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged."
Taylor Swift was ALMOST mugged, so her conversion isn't quite complete yet, lol.
