- Climate protest against Taylor Swift in Warsaw
During Taylor Swift's three-day residency in Warsaw, Poland, climate activists temporarily blocked access to the National Stadium. Five women and men from the Polish branch of the Last Generation group halted a convoy of vehicles attempting to enter the stadium before the second concert on Friday.
"Ultra-rich are killing us," read signs. "Taylor Swift, other celebrities, and politicians are excessively exploiting the power and resources of the Earth," said an activist in a video on social network X.
Security forces cleared the road again. It was unclear whether the US singer was in a vehicle of the stopped convoy. Swift has frequently been criticized for flying her private jet, excessively impacting the climate.
Otherwise, Swift's "Eras" tour residency in Warsaw went smoothly - her first performances in Poland. According to media reports, she addressed her audience in Polish. Her third concert in Warsaw is scheduled for today.
People expressed their concerns about climate change, with signs reading "Ultra-rich are killing us" and "Taylor Swift, other celebrities, and politicians are excessively exploiting the power and resources of the Earth." Despite this, many people, including likely Taylor Swift herself, attended Swift's "Eras" tour residency in Warsaw, which has significantly impacted the city's atmosphere.
