Trent Reznor Criticises Taylor Swift For Not Speaking Out About Donald Trump
The Nine Inch Nails star says that he's disappointed that such a huge global superstar like Taylor Swift is not using her fame as a platform to highlight any injustices and wrongdoings by the US President.
He claims that Taylor Swift, who has a reputation for being silent on most political issues, is more "concerned" about protecting her "brand" and has a mentality of "keep your mouth shut and let it go" when it comes to such injustices in the world.
"You don’t hear a lot from the Taylor Swifts of the world, and top-tier, needle-moving cultural youth because they are concerned about their brand, their demographic and their success and career and whatnot," he said in an interview with the New York Times.
“I was doing press with somebody in the mid-90s and they made an argument that stayed with me: that I have influence, and that it’s my job to call out whatever needs to be called out, because there are people who feel the same way, but need someone to articulate it.”
