Taylor Swift may have tweeted her support for those around the world who joined in the Women's March over the weekend, but many people are furious that the self-proclaimed feminist wasn't a part of the protest.
The 27-year-old singer took to Twitter on Saturday to say that she has 'so much love, price and respect for those who marched'. However, while plenty of A-list stars joined the marches across the country, she wasn't one of them.
Although some fans praised Taylor for her tweet, there were plenty of Twitter users who accused the pop star of only speaking out about feminism when it 'benefits' her.
'As a fan of yours, this is some bulls**t. You do not get to pick and choose when feminism benefits you,' a woman named Alyssa commented.
'If you were really for feminism, you would have spoken up against Donald Trump instead of just saying to vote on Election Day. But instead you claim to be a feminist when it benefits you.'
The backlash was so harsh that rock duo Best Coast sent a tweet to Taylor saying: 'Bless your heart for this.'
More than half a million people took to the streets in Washington, D.C. to stand for women's rights, with more than two million more demonstrating around the world
Taylor Swift has stated that she is a feminist numerous times, and she is known for proudly supporting in her famous girl squad. But many argued that she could be using her platform more, particulalry by joining the Women's March.
Chris Rollins, who participated in the peaceful protest, tweeted: 'This is gross opportunism. Be better.'
'He's not bragging; he's stating fact,' the person wrote. 'Taylor Swift is only a feminist when it's convenient for her. She's done more two hurt feminism than help.'

"You watch your ass."
Taylor Swift is about the Taylor Swift Brand and in terms of marketing she might be a mini-Trump in the making. Her lips service fine, but destroy her brand by going to the rallye? No freakin’ way, she’s not going to destroy her cash flow by attending that event, she’d destroy half her market...
Liberalism or Progressivism, as some call it, is a Cult.
1. They “feel” instead of think
2. The only crime is not being liberal enough
3. Everything is pro-them
4. They want everyone to be like them, by brute force if necessary
5. They believe whatever they are told by their side without critical thinking
Will Ms. Swift’s FGM procedure be voluntary, or will she have to be drug in kicking and screaming?
If she did show up, she would have made the rest of them look even uglier than they already are.
Well, there are feminists and there are feminins. She must be the latter.
It’s rumored she is a /b/tard.
WHy pick on her? Hillary blew it off too.
>>>She’s done more two hurt feminism than help.<<<
Two bad. They sure took it two her with that comment.
Easy punching bag.

Where was the occupy loving Pelosi?
Gee, that’s to bad....
Give Smart Cookie a break, she hasn’t made enough/gotten old and haggard enough to join the washed up celeb feminazis yet.
The left doesn’t own feminism. They don’t speak for all women and certainly not for me.
