Taylor Swift will no longer be performing at Australia's Melbourne Cup.
Prior to her cancellation, Taylor’s performance had drawn a slew of criticism from animal rights activists. According to, six horses have died as a result of the racing event since 2013. One group, the Coalition of the Protection of Racehorses, even shared a petition earlier this month urging Taylor to back out of her performance.
“It seems Taylor Swift is either completely unaware of the cruel reality of horse racing or she has put money before compassion by agreeing to perform at the 2019 Melbourne Cup,” theexplained. “This is an event where at least 6 horses have been KILLED over the past 6 years. With such huge success already, she could easily afford to not only say NO, but use the opportunity to help the horses by speaking up against animal cruelty.
