After Taylor Swift released her latest music video "You Need To Calm Down," LGBTQ advocacy organization GLAAD saw a surge in donations.Some say Swift is capitalizing on being an ally to the LGBTQ community without actually being an ally.The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation saw a surge in donations hours after Taylor Swift released her latest music video "You Need To Calm Down" on June 14.
The song has drawn as much praise for openly supporting LGBTQ rights as criticism for leaning too heavily on stereotypes of gay culture to get her message across in the garishly colorful video. GLAAD saw a rise in donations almost overnight, some for a specific amount. That number is significant to "Swifties," the name for the singer's loyal fanbase. Swift, who was born on Dec. 13,is @taylorswift13 and she's incorporated the number into some of her music. In the song "End Game" on her most recent album "Reputation," Swift says the name of the album 13 times. In the music video for "...Ready For It?" viewers can see the number spray-painted on a wall in the video's background.
