Understanding Taylor Swift’s Silence: Navigating the Complexities of Crisis Management in the Entertainment Industry

So I was supposed to be at Eir’s tour Vienna Night One, and I’m starting to see all the discussion like, why hasn’t Taylor made a statement? And I think the simple answer to that is like, we know nothing. And while acknowledgement is nice, and yes, it is nice to feel seen as the group who had all of their shows canceled due to an attack, I cannot imagine what it would be like for an event that I was headlining to be the center of like an international investigation. And I have no idea what it would be like to be in charge of the lives of like tens of thousands of people and their safety. That is a level of stress I want. I would I want nothing to do with like when little on me was just trying to get through customs and the very serious man asked me why I was there. I was I was like, I don’t know. You tell me. Like, I got nervous in the face of authority for just myself. And I know that’s a joke. And I say that in jest. But humor is how we get through events like this. And so I think Taylor’s track record of decades of putting her fans first and being very invested in her fans and their emotions means that there is just a bigger reason outside of the fans as to why she feels like there is there is not a good reason to talk about this. And she is essentially in a lose lose situation. And if one of those ways of, quote, losing is that by staying silent, you keep more of those fans safe. I see why that is the side that she is choosing to stay on in this moment in time.
