Taylor Notso Swift gets woke scolded on animal abuse and bows out

Taylor Swift

Singer Taylor Swift has been educated by the woke scold animal rights activists and has bowed out of performing at the 2019 Melbourne Cup because horses run there and that isn't nice for the race horses who would rather lollygag in the barn and get fat on hay.

Fox News called the horse racing event "controversial" but did not elaborate on the nature of the controversy but implying, perhaps, that it had to do with humans riding atop race horses to race in a horse race Down Under.

The event announced that Swift, 29, would be headlining in early September but then said on Saturday that she pulled out.

Swift's decision comes after animal rights activists criticized her on social media for "endorsing animal abuse" by agreeing to perform at an event that made animals that love to run, um, run.

Michael Gudinski from Mushroom Events, which organizes the Cup, said in a statement online, “Regrettably, Taylor is no longer able to make it to this year’s Melbourne Cup. Changes to her Asian promo schedule have made it logistically impossible for her to be here. To all of Taylor’s fans, we hope to see Taylor in Australia in 2020.”

Now let's go beat some horses to run faster.

Victoria Racing Club (VRC) Chief Executive Officer Neil Wilson added, “The VRC has learned that Taylor Swift is now unable to make the trip to Australia and therefore cannot be with us on Melbourne Cup Day. Obviously, this is disappointing for everyone. We understand how important the pre-Cup entertainment is and we look forward to providing an update shortly.”

We should all be thankful that our military has a hell of a lot more courage than our entertainers.

After Swift's name was attached to the event, animal rights group Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses, took to Twitter asking her to cancel her performance with its #NupToTheCup hashtag.

Six horses have died while racing in the Melbourne Cup, including an Irish racehorse that was euthanized on the racetrack last year after breaking its shoulder.

"Taylor Swift has put money before compassion by agreeing to perform at the 2019 Melbourne Cup. An event where at least 6 horses have been KILLED over the past 6 years," the group wrote on Facebook.

They were not killed, they died doing what they loved, running swift.

Upon learning the news, Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses spokeswoman, Kristin Leigh, said she was happy about the decision. "The pressure on Taylor Swift to cancel her performance was significant. Her fans did not want to see her supporting animal abuse," she said. "She's easier than we thought," she failed to add.

No word at this time on who will replace Swift on November 5, but with her voice and her surname, it's a shame she'll be elsewhere. Perhaps she's thinking of running for office.

Blackburn wins in Tenn. Senate race: beats Tayolor Swift's candidate

U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) beat the daylights out of Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen in a closely watched Senate race Tuesday, in spite of yet another star entertainer having no effect on the outcome as people still vote their own mind. The GOP now has a generous majority while losing control of the House.

This race made headlines in the entertainment world last month after incredibly famous and talented pretty little Miss Taylor Swift went out to motivate young Tennessee voters to tip the results in favor of the Democrats because famous entertainers are only allowed to vote for that party or be blackballed from the industry because Democrats are just so gosh darn tolerant.

So the "Taylor Swift effect" was as effective for the Democrats as a bandaid is to stem the bleeding of a sucking chest wound.

As I write this, fully 99 percent of the precincts have reported. Blackburn captured 55 percent of the vote while Bredesen got merely 43 percent.

Blackburn had trailed Bredesen in the polls throughout the entire summer, but slowly closed the gap and eventually took the lead last month after aligning herself with President Trump. She will replace Bob Corker and become the first female U.S. senator from the great state of Tennessee.

This race received a lot of outside money as Democrats thought there would be a path to retaking the Senate majority, which they did not. Had Bredesen won, he would have been the first Democrat elected to the senate from his state since the inventor of the internet and expert on global warming, Al Gore, won in 1990.
