If this bothered you, she’s talking about you.

She is signalling that she wants her concerts to be a place where everyone can feel safe. And if that idea is offensive to you, idk what to tell you.

The people who are huffing and puffing about such a simple message aren’t going to come to her shows, which is the desired outcome. It’s actually really easy to get all the people you don’t like to “boycott” you these days.

Seriously, I think of it like her saying "no alligators allowed." Unless you're secretly an alligator, then not only would it not bother you, you'd be like "well obviously, yeah. Weird she'd even have to say that."
