“Look at this utterly shameless lying”: Swifties Come Out to Defend Taylor Swift After the King Charles Allegations
The American pop star Taylor Swift needs no introduction, and neither does her incredible fandom. With millions of fans and admirers across the world, Swift has garnered a cult following as people love her for her work and her candid demeanor.
Moreover, many people admire her self-confidence and the way she does not let anyone walk over her. So, when a biographer connected to Britain’s royal family pointed fingers at Swift, the Swifties swarmed together to protect their idol.
Omid Scobie’s Outrageous Claims Enrage Swifties
Omid Scobie, a royal biographer who recently released a book titled Endgame, claimed that Taylor Swift refused to perform at King Charles’ coronation ceremony that took place in May this year. Swifties did not take this allegation lightly and came together to support the popular pop star.
This is because Swift was in the middle of her ground-breaking Eras Tour during the coronation dates, hence did not have the dates available. On the day of the coronation, she was performing live in Nashville.
One enraged fan said,
“Look at this utterly shameless lying. Taylor Swift was in the middle of her Eras Tour – I was at the Nashville show the night of the Coronation.”
While other fans applauded Swift for not partaking in the royal state of events, others got angry at the sheer lies told in Scobie’s book. They even urged the publishers to edit the excerpts in the book and rerelease it with the correct information.
With the country facing economic crises at home and reputational bruising abroad, large sections of the public are increasingly less tolerant of royal extravagance and family dramas. Even finding entertainment for [Charles’s] coronation court at Windsor Castle proved a challenge for the organizers. The list of acts who declined the invitation to perform was long and included Sir Elton John, Harry Styles, the Spice Girls, Adele, Taylor Swift, and Ed Sheeran.
Another reason for the outrage is that Scobie claimed other artists turned down invites from the royal family too. The list of singers includes Ed Sheeran, who in fact went on record to say he never received an invitation for the same. Such revelations make it harder for the masses to believe a single word written by Scobie in his latest book.
Other Controversies Surrounding Endgame
The book Endgame has sparked incredible controversies due to Scobie’s claims on various aspects of royal life. It outlines the names of certain royal members who had a problem with Archie’s skin color. While the translators say the names were already there in the manuscripts, Scobie claims to never have mentioned any names in his submitted manuscript.
Many believe Scobie to be a mouthpiece for the Sussexes, these claims have further divided the masses between haters and admirers. The book essentially deep dives into the royal family’s workings and the controversies that are routinely sparked in the media.
