A sexist advertising run by Starbucks has infuriated Taylor Swift’s devoted fan following.
Taylor Swift’s followers are outraged over a new ad for Starbucks that they find to be “sexist” after her “sudden breakup” with Joe Alwyn
After Taylor Swift’s public breakup with Joe Alwyn, the corporation produced a “sexist” advertising campaign, which infuriated Swift’s legions of devoted fans.
Reportedly because the relationship “had run its course,” Taylor broke up with her partner of six years, Joe Alwyn.
One business tried to lighten the mood after hearing the news by putting up a sign reading, “Which Taylor Swift ex are you?”
Available alternatives were names like “Harry Styles,” “Joe Jonas,” “Tom Hiddleston,” “Taylor Lautner,” “John Mayer,” “Jake Gyllenhaal,” “Calvin Harris,” and “Joe Alwyn,” all of whom were exes of Taylor.
Under the names of the stars, you could choose from beverages like hot vanilla lattes and decaf Americanos.
Swifties posted a photo of the sign to Twitter with the caption, “in such poor taste.”
A customer who was already upset tweeted, “This is so gross @starbucks wtf ???”
“Which location is this??? I want to give a one-star rating to this place,” while a third said, “Okay, where is this? I’m kicking it down.”
“The way people are immediately going back to the misogynistic comments about her dating life as if she didn’t just get out of a 6-year relationship??!! Like, I thought we were done with that.” A fourth person said, “This is so sad.”
Taylor Swift, 33, had to receive an apology from the coffee shop after her devoted followers called the establishment “gross” and “misogynistic” for making fun of her recent separation.
After the outcry, Starbucks released a statement promising that the offensive sign had been taken down.
“Thank you for bringing this to our attention.” They tweeted, This certainly doesn’t uphold our mission and values, and the sign been taken down by the store.”
After Taylor’s very public breakup with Marvel actor Tom Hiddleston, she started dating British actor Joe.
Joe said, “not something I particularly care about or have much interest in feeding” so she and he kept their relationship covert.
According to Taylor, “with my relationship for six years, we’ve had to dodge weird rumours, tabloid stuff, and we just ignore it.”
