Swifties expressed their outrage towards Omid Scobie and Meghan Markle, accusing them of dragging Taylor Swift into their book and spreading false claims that she snubbed the King’s coronation.
The controversy erupted after Omid released his new book, Endgame, which delves into the current state of the British monarchy and explores the rumored feuds within the royal family.
One of the major events discussed in the book is the succession of Queen Elizabeth and the subsequent coronation of King Charles earlier this year.
Following the coronation ceremony, a star-studded concert took place, featuring performances by renowned artists such as Andrea Bocelli, Lionel Richie, Take That, and Katy Perry.
Omid alleged that Taylor Swift was initially intended to be part of the lineup but declined the opportunity.
This claim triggered a wave of anger among Swift fans, who took to social media to defend their idol and provide a valid reason for her absence.
Although Omid’s book fails to explain the reason behind Taylor’s decision, her devoted followers, known as Swifties, clarified that she was in the midst of her global “Eras” tour at the time.
Disgruntled fans vehemently refuted the allegations made in the book, with one fan recalling attending Taylor’s concert in Nashville on the same night as the coronation.
Another fan expressed relief that their show was not canceled due to Taylor’s absence, emphasizing that it would have been embarrassing to attribute the cancellation to a fictional excuse.
Swifties continued to rally behind their favorite artist, highlighting that Taylor was physically unable to attend the coronation as she was performing on the other side of the world.
They urged skeptics to verify this fact by examining her tour schedule, which clearly indicated her commitments during the three days of the coronation.
Many fans believed that Omid simply aimed to bring in a celebrity like Taylor to perpetuate the notion that even celebrities do not respect the royal family.
However, this attempt was met with criticism from Taylor’s loyal fan base.
In a surprising turn of events, Omid Scobie’s book, Endgame, faced a significant setback just one day after its release.
The hardcover version of the book saw a 50% price reduction on Amazon, plummeting from £22 to only £11.
This dramatic discount coincided with Omid’s denial of responsibility for a translation error in the Netherlands.
As a result, the book was temporarily removed from shelves across the country, with plans to reintroduce it with the correct translation on December 8th.
Furthermore, the book received negative ratings and boycotts on Amazon, with many readers expressing disappointment and stating that it failed to reveal any groundbreaking information.
Some reviewers noted that the facts presented were already well-known to the public, rendering the book unremarkable.
Critics also speculated that Omid and Meghan subscribe to the belief that any publicity is good publicity, regardless of the consequences.
They predicted that Harry and Meghan might face further ridicule on shows like South Park and late-night talk shows, along with King Charles himself.
This ongoing controversy has put an end to any hopes of reconciliation between the parties involved.
The public’s anger towards Harry and Meghan remains palpable, making it highly unlikely for them to be welcomed back, even for the traditional Christmas church walk.
The unfolding drama surrounding Omid Scobie’s book has only intensified the public’s disdain, leaving the future uncertain for all those involved.
