Just days after garnering universal support online, multiple Grammy Award-winning artist Taylor Swift is now a target of the Cancel Culture mob on Twitter.
The singer-songwriter has been in the news lately. Her recent clapback at Netflix's "Ginny & Georgia" for their "lazy, deeply sexist" joke earned her massive support online.
However, just a day after being unanimously praised, the "Love Story" hitmaker now finds herself subject to a barrage of online criticism. Scores of Twitter users are attempting to cancel her for being an alleged predator.
A primary reason behind these allegations is her former relationship with Robert Kennedy's son, Conor Kennedy, whom she dated briefly in 2012.
As a result of these allegations surfacing online, the hashtag #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty is currently trending on Twitter.

The incendiary response's suddenness soon triggered a whole new debate online, with fans and critics vociferously duking it out online.
