Taylor Swift’s Melbourne Cup snub a victory for animal rights groups

That comes despite a statement from Mushroom events and Victoria Racing Club that said the 29-year-oldNot so say animal rights groups, who collectively blew their lid when it was announced Swift would perform two songs from her latest album atThe initial announcement sparked a backlash on social media and a push by the Campaign for the Protection of Racehorses, which claimed she had “put money before compassion” and was “endorsing animal abuse”.

“Obviously, this is disappointing for everyone,” said Victoria Racing Club chief executive Neil Wilson. On Sunday morning Sunrise entertainment reporter Peter Ford said that statement rang false and was “laughable”. Yet for every action there is of course a reaction and a group set up in direct oppositions to the Coalition For the Protection of Racehorses, the Coalition For the Protection of Racehorses — Exposed, lashed out on Sunday, targeting those who urged Swift to say ‘nup to the Cup’.

And a relief for anyone attending

More proof this event is more on the nose than ever. Swift would've been advised to steer clear to avoid reputation damage. If cars replaced horses I don't think most of the drunks in attendance would notice, let alone care. End the cruelty.

A victory to Melbourne to. She would only start a feud with one of our own.

It’s a victory for stupidity.

Surely there is enough local talent to appear at the event? When will Australia and Australians stop copycating amerika and amerikanisms ? ? ?

Lmao Oh yeah

taylorswift13 Was it genuine clash of events, or was it a give in to animal rights? Priorities How about JimmyBarnes be booked 🙏🏻

“It almost reads like whoever takes the gig now doesn’t care about the protection of racehorses.” This is what makes no sense, what do these 'animal rights groups' think will happen to thousands of race horses if there was no MelbourneCup ?; please explain.

meh....

It’s a victory for fans of real music. Not over produced crap pop by someone who’s main interest is making money.

Being out Farnsey that might be good

How? Some princess doesn’t want to turn up. Bet the race still gets run you fools

Victory for what Just replace that hack with a new hack no big deal world moves in Melbourne cup still goes ahead!!

Well any excuse not to have some who is governed by social media always good. Don't we have enough amazing talent without having these overseas overpaid spoilt princess coming here .

It’s a victory for Australia, no one can stop the Melbourne Cup.
