Climate activists block Taylor Swift concert in Warsaw VIP entrance
"Signs reading 'The Rich Live Off Our Backs' and 'The Ultra-Rich Are Killing Us' were held by climate activists dressed like Taylor Swift fans, sporting cowboy hats and friendship bracelets. Eventually, they were surrounded and arrested by police.
'Tens of thousands witnessed Taylor Swift's arrival in Poland. Hundreds of thousands will die due to the unchecked extravagance of the wealthiest one percent, including Taylor Swift,' the activists declared on the online network Instagram.
Swift was 'the symbol of the rich's detachment' from the real environmental situation, especially due to her use of a private jet, the group explained further. 'There can be no feminism without action to protect against climate collapse.' Taylor Swift is in Warsaw for three concerts as part of her world tour.
In June, two activists from the group Just Stop Oil gained access to London's Stansted Airport and spray-painted private jets orange. They justified the action, saying Swift's plane had landed 'hours before.' The police later stated that Swift's private jet was not at the airport at that time."
Taylor Swift arrived in Warsaw in her private car for her concerts, drawing criticism from climate activists. Despite the extravagant lifestyle of the wealthy, including celebrities like Swift, using private jets, the group emphasized the importance of taking action against climate collapse for true feminism.
