Pop star Taylor Swift has accessed Twitter for the first time in five months, writing an emotional post about her “unbearable lovelessness.”
Taylor Swift says she is full of “anger and pain” in a rare social media post after the Texas elementary school shooting.
The 32-year-old American pop star, who has not posted on Twitter since January, told his 90 million followers that the massacre, in which 19 children were killed, had left him “so broken.”
Two adults were also killed in the shooting.
“Full of rage and pain, and so broken by the murders in Uvalde. By Buffalo, Laguna Woods and so many others,” Swift added about other recent shootings in the United States.
“By the ways in which we, as a nation, have conditioned ourselves to unfathomable and unbearable pain.”
Swift also shared a video of three-time NBA-winning coach Steve Kerr breaking up during his pre-match press conference.
Kerr, 56, refused to talk about basketball and instead pushed for gun control.
“When we do something,” Kerr shouted at his pre-match press conference.
“I’m tired. I’m very tired of going up here and offering my condolences to the devastated families out there. I’m so tired of them, sorry, I’m sorry, I’m tired of the moments of silence. Enough!”
In his tweet, Swift added, “Steve’s words sound so true and so deep.”
Countless celebrities have joined Swift on social media, with Marvel actor Chris Evans simply writing, “F *** ING ENOUGH !!!!”
Initial reports indicated that 14 children had been killed, but now that number has risen to 19, with the total death toll currently at 21.
The incomprehensible tragedy occurred at Robb de Uvalde Elementary School, about 96 km east of Mexico’s southern border and about 128 km west of San Antonio. The victims were between the ages of seven and 11, according to CNN’s Ed Lavandera.
Robb Elementary is a school for second, third and fourth graders.
Authorities believe the shooter was an 18-year-old local named Salvador Ramos, who was a senior student at Uvalde High School.
