Megyn Kelly Calls for Taylor Swift Boycott After She Attends Gaza Fundraiser Comedy Show: ‘You Clearly Know Nothing

Megyn Kelly called for a boycott against Taylor Swift on Tuesday after the superstar singer-songwriter attended a comedy show benefitting humanitarian relief in Gaza.

Proceeds from the event, a Friday night stop on Ramy Youssef’s “More Feelings” tour at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, are being donated to in-need Palestinians during the ongoing military conflict in the Middle East. Swift’s attendance with Selena Gomez has raised questions about whether or not she stands with Israel. Also in attendance were actresses Anya Taylor-Joy, Zoë Kravitz and Cara Delevingne, according to People.

Kelly said on Tuesday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show” that Swift “owes Israelis and Jewish Americans an apology” for attending the event.

“I hope they boycott [Taylor Swift’s] events until she issues it because attending this thing was wrong. Do some Googling. See what they do in Gaza to gays. See about women’s rights in Gaza, Taylor,” Kelly said. “Otherwise do this [motions to shut up] when it comes to talking about those issues again. You clearly know nothing.”

Watch the segment below.

Kelly’s rant over Swift’s attendance at Youssef’s benefit show came just over two months after Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians. On Nov. 15, Youssef wrote on Instagram that “100% of the proceeds for the remainder of the Ramy Youssef: More Feelings standup tour will be donated to American Near East Refuge Aid (ANERA), providing humanitarian relief to the people of Gaza.”

“Taylor Swift, who has been out there tweeting about her support for the LGBTQ community, you know what they do to that community in Gaza, Taylor, that you now want to support,” Kelly continued Tuesday. “Who’s talked about her support for women, her opposition to certain Republican lawmakers who don’t support women in the way Taylor sees fit. You know what they do to women? You know what Hamas likes to do to women? You think we have equal rights over there, Taylor?”

The podcast host and former Fox News anchor then hypothesized that donations to Gaza are actually funding Hamas.

“They’re taking the money that the international forces are designating to help the suffering people of Gaza and Hamas is using it to create more weapons,” she said. “But Taylor Swift would like to help raise funds for Gaza.”

The last few stops of the Emmy-nominated Youssef’s tour take place in France (Jan. 10), Norway (Jan. 11), Denmark (Jan. 12), Germany (Jan. 15), Canada (Jan. 19 and Jan. 20) and California (Feb. 2).

Swift’s appearance at the show sparked online chatter, with many of the singer’s fans stepping to her defense and maintaining that the musician simply went to a show with friends. See below what people had to say.

  1. Atleast Taylor is trying to help the people in Gaza because they DESPERATELY NEED HELP!!!! They are people, human beings, and a lot of them are children. What’s wrong with that?? They need help and none of this is their fault. Those people have NO CONTROL over what is happening there. Megan Kelly has no compassion and I strongly disagree with her on this matter!!!

    • Yes, exactly, its like these people shouting their mouths off have no comprehension that the women and gays are part of the population, but really all the people stuck in Gaza need help… it’s heartbreaking. We are so lucky to not be stuck in that hell.

  2. Why Taylor Swift owes an apology to Israelis & Jewish Americans? Why Selena Gomez, Anya Taylor-Joy, Zöe Kravitz & Cara Delevigne don’t? Is this something personal Megyn holds against Taylor? The general public don’t give a damn about what Megyn thinks, and nobody is boycotting any Taylor Swift’s events.
