Megyn Kelly Calls for Taylor Swift Boycott Over Gaza Fundraiser Attendance

Swift's attendance at a Gaza fundraising event sparks controversy, with conservative commentator Megyn Kelly demanding an apology to Israelis and Jewish Americans.

  • Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez attended a fundraising event for Gaza, organized by comedian Ramy Youssef, with proceeds going to the American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA).
  • Megyn Kelly, a conservative commentator, called for a boycott of Swift, claiming that her attendance at the event was wrong and that she owes an apology to Israelis and Jewish Americans.
  • Kelly criticized ANERA as being 'highly political' and biased towards the Israel-Palestine conflict, however, ANERA's website states it does not work or coordinate with Hamas, a group designated as a 'terrorist group' by the U.S. government.
  • Other celebrities, including Anya Taylor-Joy, Zoë Kravitz, and Cara Delevingne, also attended the event but have not faced the same level of criticism.
  • Swift's fans defended her on social media, arguing that her attendance at a comedy show does not equate to active support for Gaza.
