Taylor Swift and the Ferguson Protests

There's no relationship between Taylor Swift and the protests in Ferguson. Except when some people think there is.

Apparently, for some people, releasing a cheerful song when there is a tragedy is 'insensitive'. Since record company releases are usually scheduled, I guess every artist risks being insensitive 'lucky draw' style, then.

Some have said they thought it was insensitive because of the twerking and hip hop elements in the video. But again, as these elements were not done disrespectfully, I just cannot see the insensitivity in there.

My conclusion: there's absolutely no relationship between Taylor Swift and the protests in Ferguson. Case closed.
