Bri :
She is so correct. Taylor swift is one of the most influential people she endorsed Kamala and it didn’t change the election. Peaceful dialogue does that

siryapalot :
I feel like all of you are severely missing the point. she said she wants people to be able to engage with her work and be changed by the art, without being distracted by their opinion of her.

I think she’s protecting her family as a public figure and I can’t say I blame her. The number of scary gun toting folks who get mad and threaten her would give me pause on being vocal.

Totally respect her honesty. She could have given a BS answer but didn’t👏

Troy Zaher :
She basically said “I’m trying to comment on politics through my art, instead of my direct words, because that’s how I feel I can reach people”.

It sounds like she is focused on making a change through influencing others through the arts.. I mean, she’s using her role and her place in her arena to make change. I respect her for that

I actually really want more artists to channel their activism through their work, because she’s right - protect art and use it for its purpose, which is to MOVE people

am I the only person who thinks this is a wise stance? subtlety and awareness without closing off audiences that need to hear the message

She has something not everyone has… influence. And so she should use it. Others with influence certainly are and that’s why we are here. Cough cough Joe Rogan

I was a little disappointed at first with her answer, but I can see why she feels that way, and I appreciate that she lets her work do the talking for her. still absolutely love her!

I think people are misunderstanding her. She's saying that if she has one chance to change someone's worldview, she feels a film is a lot more powerful a tool than a single statement. Give them Hunger Games, not a single speech or sound byte.

It’s wild how many people watch just a few seconds before commenting.

She’s not a character in a movie but a real person living in the real world. I hate that people constantly try to reduce her to a single character with a single facet. She’s complex and wonderful. I like her more for this measured response.

I disagree. The more people who call out Trump’s BS has got to help.
