Taylor Swift: If TikTok Is Banned, I Will Leave the U.S.
Iāll be leaving the US if TikTok is banned. I am a woman of my word.
The day it was announced that TikTok would likely be banned in the United States, I tweeted my intentions to leave the country.
This sent social media into a frenzy and quickly became the top story on every major publication.
Fans and critics alike all had their own opinions about my bold stance.
Some praised me for taking a stand, while others criticized me for my behavior.
However, itās no secret that I LOVE TikTok.
It has become an essential part of my social media toolkit.
So, it only makes sense that I would be willing to go to such extremes to prove a point.
Ed Sheeran and Selena Gomez both showed their support for my statement.
Iāve always been close with both of them, and they are some of the few people I can count on to have my back when things get tough.
My publicist texted me soon after the news broke, warning me that there would likely be some fallout from my words.
I knew what I was getting myself into when I tweeted this.
I was prepared to deal with whatever consequences came my way.
And besides, the support from my fans was overwhelming, so I didnāt have much to worry about.
Here are just a few of the tweets from people who love me!
@Taylorswift2020: This is why we stan Taylor Swift!She always stays true to herself!
@Taylorswiftisbae: I will pack your bags for you queen!
@Taylorswiftlover: If Taylor Swift leaves the country, so will I!
@Swiftiesforlife: We will never let anything happen to Taylor Swift!
But of course, there are always going to be haters who try to bring you down.
Here are some of the negative tweets that were sent in responseā¦
@TaylorSwiftCantSing: You havenāt had a good song in 10 years anyway.
@TaylorSwiftIsOverParty: Go ahead and leave, we wonāt miss you!
@TaylorSwiftIsRacist: Youāre not even American anymore!
As much as I love my fans and appreciate their supportā¦ at the end of the day, they are all just words.
I know who I am and what I stand for.

As soon as the news broke that TikTok would likely be banned in the US, my friend Selena Gomez posted a close-up photo of us on her Instagram story.
I knew that I could always count on her to have my back and show her support for my decisions, even when theyāre not the most popular.
I was feeling a little unsure about my decision to leave the country if this app was banned.
However, having Selena show her support and post this picture reminded me who I was and why my choices mattered.
If my friends believed in me, then I could believe in myself too.
Because the truth wasā¦ There was nothing more important than someone who had your back through thick and thin.
And Selena was exactly one of those people.
Taylor Swift is one of the most kind-hearted people you will ever meet.
Sheās been there for me through thick and thin and has never wavered in her support for my decisions ā even when others disagree with them.
Thatās why when Taylor told me that she would be leaving the country if TikTok were to be banned, I knew immediately that this was the right choice.
While some people may not understand or agree with her decision, itās important to remember that Taylor knows whatās best for her.
Sheās a strong and independent woman who doesnāt need anyone else telling her what she should or shouldnāt do.
Thatās why when she asked me to post this photo on my Instagram story, I didnāt hesitate for a second.
She needed me to show my support, and thatās exactly what I did.
Because at the end of the day, there was nothing more important than having a friend who believed in you and had your back no matter what.
And Taylor was definitely one of those people for me.
The minute Selena posted our picture, it immediately went viral.
People loved seeing their two favorite pop stars together ā happy and smiling!
Everyone began tagging us in different posts, telling us how much they loved our friendship and how important it was for us to always support each other in both the good times and the bad.
Selenaās fans were especially supportive of our friendship and were thrilled to see that she was standing by my side ā no matter what.
This just goes to show you how powerful a single post can be, especially when it comes from someone as influential as Selena Gomez.
