Taylor Swift And Selena Gomez Attend Gaza Fundraising Event

Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez were seen hanging out at Ramy Youssef's shindig in Brooklyn, New York, all for a good cause. The gig went down at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on 8th December, where Youssef had his final show for the ‘More Feelings’ tour and every penny from those last 12 nights was destined for the American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA). 

Youssef, who's been pretty vocal about pushing for peace in the Middle East, explained that ANERA does the noble work of providing humanitarian relief to the folks in Gaza. A star-studded affair, with the likes of Cara Delevingne, Anya Taylor-Joy and Zoë Kravitz gracing the event.

Now, Tay-Tay hasn't revealed on her thoughts about the Israel-Gaza situation, but Gomez took to her official social media accounts to break her silence. She shared a message condemning the horror, hate, violence and terror around the globe. ‘Rare Beauty,’ Gomez's makeup venture, also stepped up by pledging funds to help out in Gaza.

As of now, over 18,600 Palestinians and 1,200 Israelis have lost their lives in Gaza since 7th October, according to Anadolu Ajansi.

Megyn Kelly, the outspoken podcaster, has called for a Swift boycott. On The Megyn Kelly Show, she claimed Swift "owes Israelis and Jewish Americans an apology" for attending the Gaza event. Kelly hopes for a boycott until Swift issues the apology, stating that her attendance was just plain wrong. However, the podcast guest, Andrew Klavan, thinks Swift's star power will shield her from any significant backlash.
