KUALA LUMPUR: Taylor Swift's fans or Swifties flocked to social media platform X on Wednesday to demand that she "speak now" on Gaza, Palestine.
Time reported that the hashtag #SwiftiesForPalestine was trending on X, garnering 105,000 posts.
The online callout comes after an Israeli airstrike in Rafah killed at least 45 Palestinians over the weekend, sparking international outrage.
Several celebrities, including Ariana Grande have since shared statements of support for a ceasefire on social media.
But Swift has not been one of them, prompting fans to take to social media.
Under the hashtag, fans posted photos of themselves holding up signs saying "We demand Swift action!" and "Swifties For Palestine" outside the singer's Eras Tour venues in Europe.
Fans also circulated a letter on X, urging the singer to use her large platform to speak up in support of the Palestinian cause.
The letter read: "The international community, including many influential voices, has called for justice and peace, yet the agony still continues.
"Your influence transcends borders, and your words have the power to reach and activate an extensive audience, including people who are unaware of the severity of the genocide.
"Speaking out about the Palestinian genocide would not only be consistent with your history of advocating for the victims, but it could also encourage your millions of fans to learn and take action to help.
"Your smallest action could make a significant difference in amplifying these pleas for pressing for real change. Free Palestine."
The post had received 1.4 million views and 31,000 likes by Wednesday.
The trending hashtag comes after the online Blockout campaign, when social media users started blocking celebrities who had not spoken out about the war in Gaza.
