That seems ridiculous to me. She’s already being painted in a way that’s political. By not responding when she so clearly has the agency to, she’s simply refusing to disagree. That’s going to be seen as agreement by many.

I think this shows her true colors. She can claim fan safety all she wants but if she has more concern for “fans” than she does the genuine safety for the future of our country, especially outright saying she won’t make a statement until after the tour which isn’t until after the election, it truly $how$ where $he is focu$ed

I think, especially after Jan 6, she’s taking this as a powder keg situation because of how politicized she’s become (against her will) and waiting to light the match until she’s not putting her fans at risk by triggering some psychopath to bomb her concert

She already cancelled one show on the tour because of a plotted terror attack. I think at this point she doesn’t want to upset the wack jobs any more and put fans lives at risk.

I don’t think it’s ridiculous. Concerts have been targets for terrorism before, and these people are insane.

People were ridiculing Jack Black for cancelling Tenacious D tour dates after (pretty fucking mild) remarks by Kyle Gass as if it was a PR stunt, when in reality it was probably for the safety of the fans. They 1000% got (likely very specific) death threats and threats of attack at their shows. They cancelled the tour because maga are domestic terrorists.
