Fresh off of her endorsement of Kamala Harris that failed to win Kamala Harris the election, Taylor Swift is performing in Canada and apparently being forced to make ancestral tribal recognitions before she sings her songs:
WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE ARE PERFORMING TODAY AT ROGERS CENTRE, LOCATED ON TREATY 13 LANDS - TRADITIONAL TERRITORY OF THE MISSISSAUGAS OF THE CREDIT AND THE TRADITIONAL HOME OF MANY OTHER NATIONS INCLUDING THE ANISHINAABEG, HAUDENOSAUNEE, CHIPPEWA, AND WENDAT PEOPLES.
WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE, FIRST NATIONS, INUIT, AND METIS PEOPLES WHOSE ORIGINAL AND TREATY TERRITORIES WE STAND UPON.
Going to a Taylor Swift concert, getting all pumped up, and then being hit with a weird, depressing "land acknowledgment" before the music even starts:
Yeah, you can definitely imagine all those 15-year-old girls seeing a note about the "Treaty 13 lands," looking around, and being like:
Apparently this is a regular sight in Canada:
It's a requirement of the venue, done at all concerts. Nothing to do with Taylor. It's very common in Canada.
I'm not sure what's more pathetic to imagine: Taylor Swift willingly doing a far-left "land acknowledgment" before her concert, or her being forced to do it as a condition of doing a show in Canada.
Either way, it's pretty pathetic!
