US Musicians Union “Stand in Solidarity” With Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift Amid Viral Criticism
On Wednesday, Bruce Springsteen took the stage in Manchester, England for his British tour. While looking to entertain the thousands of fans who packed the arena, The Boss took a moment to discuss the current tensions in America surrounding the White House Administration and President Donald Trump. With a video of Springsteen’s speech circulating social media, the President fired back at the singer, causing The American Federation of Musicians to release a statement defending the singer and even Taylor Swift.
Standing by his statements made during the concert, Springsteen made sure to share the full speech on both YouTube and his official website. During the speech, he declared, “In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration. Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring!”
Not stopping there, Springsteen considered the “richest men” to be taking pleasure in the pain of the American people. “In my country, they’re taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers. They’re rolling back historic civil rights legislation that has led to a more just and plural society. They are abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom.”
The American Federation Of Musicians Stand Up For Bruce Springsteen And Taylor Swift
Not staying silent, President Trump lashed out at Springsteen on his social media platform, declaring, “I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States. Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he’s not a talented guy — Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK, who fervently supported Crooked Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President, who came close to destroying our Country.”
With Trump berating Springsteen and even Swift in the past, The Federation of Musicians had had enough. Issuing a statement, the AFM International President Tino Gagliardi wrote, “The American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada will not remain silent as two of our members—Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift—are singled out and personally attacked by the President of the United States. Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift are not just brilliant musicians, they are role models and inspirations to millions of people in the United States and across the world.”
Defending the rights of both Springsteen and Swift, Gagliardi concluded, “Musicians have the right to freedom of expression, and we stand in solidarity with all over members.”
Outside of his comments on Springsteen, Trump once took aim at Swift during the 2024 Presidential election. He wrote, “Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?’”
Although his take, Swift and Springsteen produced mesmerizing careers that spanned decades and included countless awards. And if that wasn’t enough, combined, the singers sold over 400 million albums.
