<\/p>\nJK Rowling, the author of the famous Harry Potter series, has been getting heaps of media attention lately – but it hasn’t all been positive.<\/p>\n
For years, Rowling has been in the spotlight not because of her resounding success as a writer but for what are seen as her transphobic comments and beliefs.<\/p>\n
And just as the author became embroiled in another heated exchange over trans rights (this time with Grammy-winning English singer Boy George), another name has been dragged unfairly into the ongoing discourse with Rowling – Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Swift had been visiting children and their families at the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Florida on June 13.<\/p>\n
In one of the videos of Swift’s visit, she Facetimed a patient’s sister, and complimented the room around her.<\/p>\n
‘You saw this room right?’ Swift asked to the fan’s sibling on the phone.<\/p>\n
‘Dude, it’s got Harry Potter stuff everywhere, it’s insane. It’s the coolest room ever,’ Swift went on. ‘I love it.’<\/p>\n
Once the video was shared on social media, fans jumped to equate Swift’s appreciation of the Harry Potter-themed room to a political statement.<\/p>\n
Taylor Swift was visiting a children’s hospital in Florida, when a video of her complimenting a patient’s Harry Potter-themed room went viral<\/p>\n
‘There’s no way she doesn’t know about JK Rowling at this point… this is disappointing,’ one fan shared, followed by a sad face emoji.<\/p>\n
‘Not shocking that she supports JK,’ another said.<\/p>\n
While another chimed in, saying, ‘I didn’t expect Taylor to be transphobic.’<\/p>\n
Another user extrapolated a similar conclusion, saying, ‘Wow Taylor loves transphobes.’<\/p>\n
But Swifties were quick to run to her defense, saying that there was no other appropriate response to a child’s room in a hospital.<\/p>\n
‘Oh my god people Taylor isn’t going to tell an ill child that they shouldn’t have Harry Potter stuff y’all are STUPID AS F**K,’ one X (formerly Twitter) user said.<\/p>\n
‘I literally violently hate Harry Potter and I’m not even a “Taylor glazer” but being mad at her for complimenting a sick kid’s room is crazy,’ another user wrote.<\/p>\n
‘Did y’all want her to say “ew wtf your room is disgusting that lady is evil” like come on now these are the four walls that the kid gets idgaf.’<\/p>\n
Swift has not made any public comment either condemning or supporting Rowling following what has been said to be her transphobic comments<\/p>\n
Others pointed out the sheer ridiculousness of the backlash Swift was receiving.<\/p>\n
‘Idgaf about Taylor Swift but people wanting her to yell at a child about Harry Potter stuff is so f**king funny.’<\/p>\n
‘People complaining about this spend too much time online. Go outside lmao,’ another added.<\/p>\n
Aside from a rumor in 2024 that Swift would be writing a song for the HBO Harry Potter TV series set to come out in 2026, she hasn’t been tied to Rowling or the franchise anytime recently.<\/p>\n
She also hasn’t made any comments either condemning or supporting Rowling’s anti-trans comments.<\/p>\n
Though, in 2018 (before Rowling shared her political views), Swift did take a picture backstage with the author following one of her shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
