Bigger picture, I would love to know who the people behind all of these concert tours are, and the stadiums etc. All the people making the big money aside from the artists.
There could be better organised boycotts.

Taylor Swift's PR team urged her not to criticize Trump, and she was capable of doing some criticism there.
After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? -Swift's X account.
Trump's calculated dismantling of USPS proves one thing clearly: He is WELL AWARE that we do not want him as our president. He's chosen to blatantly cheat and put millions of Americans' lives at risk in an effort to hold on to power -Swift's X account.
Donald Trump's ineffective leadership gravely worsened the crisis that we are in and he is now taking advantage of it to subvert and destroy our right to vote and vote safely. Request a ballot early. Vote early. -Swift's X account.

Meanwhile Ed Sheeran is out here protecting billionaire pedophile and supporting the genocide in Palestine? Israel has killed over 73,000 Palestinians and lost only 3,000 of their own. The facts are overt at this point. Ed Sheeran is a coward.
Taylor Swift's wedding included Zionists who defended genocide.
Wasserman's emails to Maxwell are nightmarishly cringe.
TL;DR: Wasserman was having an affair with Ghislaine Maxwell.
JUST because Ed Sheeran is choosing EPSTEIN'S FRIENDS over his Own Friends DOESNT mean you can be MEAN to HIM!
-Every Right Wing Blogger soon!
Things continue to get worse for Ed Sheeran.
His friends are tied to Epstein. His business associates are tied to Epstein. Israel is tied to Epstein.
His name isn't in the files so far, but you know what they say; "If a dozen people are at a table, and 11 are nazis, there are 12 nazis at that table."
Sheeran would have been the same age or younger than the girls on that island. But that doesn’t excuse his associations since.
Epstein is implicated with Ed Sheeran? Sheesh, you think you know a guy
Not directly... First paragraph of the article
Ed Sheeran is facing a fresh wave of online boycott calls after Casey Wasserman, the entertainment executive behind the agency representing the singer's North American live work, was linked to Jeffrey Epstein-related records, with one database listing 109 flight records involving Wasserman.
Seems like he should fire him
funny how fencesitters are usually sitting on one side of the fence.
'In these situations you really find out who your friends are,' he told the crowd in footage captured by a fan.
At the end of the show, a tearful Sheeran said playing the concert had given him hope. He said: “Everyone is telling me to cancel, and I’m feeling all of my friends and family and people I know abandon me and I look at the end of the week and I see 50,000 people who haven’t abandoned.”
... maybe our real friends were the pedophiles and genocide supporters we met along the way
The "tell it like it is" crowd or the "both sides bad" crowd exclusively critiquing the left.
Well duh, have you tried straddling a fence? It's quite uncomfortable
Though then again it's uncomfortable because of the balls, which the fencesitters seem to lack.
It's probably best if we prosecute the people tangentially connected to people in the Epstein files. Otherwise we might have to prosecute the people in the Epstein files and we can't have that!
I definitely agree with this but i also feel that if you do put connected people who are in privileged positions of power then hopefully they too will turn against their masters.
I want to see the Andrew formerly known as Prince subjected to a public trial and if found guilty by a jury, imprisonment like any common person. Alas his brother doesn't quite hate him enough to kamikaze over a thousand years of monarchy into the ground just to screw him over.
That would be funny as fuck for future GCSE history students to learn about though.
I'd like to see just one american subject to a public trial. That may open the floodgates for the rest. Just one.
Why not both? It isn't just a tangential connection - he's making money for them.
They're capitalists and heads of state: we're all making money for them until we get some heads rolling.
Yeah but most of us are trying to survive. I doubt Sheeran is in a position where getting fired would compromise his wellbeing.
It seems my statement came across as an apology for Sheeran, when it was intended as a reminder that people like Kraft have set up the economy so just trying to survive benefits them. And so the only way to get rid of their power to buy everything, including complicity, is to get rid of them.
My inner voice transformed into Bill Nighy as chief inspector in Hot Fuzz reading that last bit
"you'll continue to be exceptional and we can't have that"
In Ed's defence, not that he really deserves any defense, I doubt Ed know about this. But still, fuck you Ed.
A lot of famous artists quit Wasserman agency last year specifically because of this. So it is almost impossible he did not know of it.
Coincidentally everyone signed with Wasserman agency never speaks out for Palestine except a rare both sides statement for some.
I don't know if I believe that. I mean how often if we heard the oh everybody knows but no one said anything story when it comes to the rich and famous and Powerful?
Shotgun boycotts are like the war hawk attitude, "Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out" - somehow it passes for ethical purity now.
Then go after Casey Wasserman, why shoot him? Is Sheeran in the files? You people need to work on your torch and pitchfork skills.
Because Sheeran catered and caved to Robert Kraft, another Epstein associate and genocidal Nazi. Ed Sheeran seems to surround himself with a lot of Epstein adjacent people and pro-genociders. Then he caters to them like he's under their control.
Your expectations of celebrities are unreal.
It's unreal to me that Israel has killed over 20k kids and more than 80k civilians, and continues to pursue their genocide, while people remain silent or indifferent. Not saying anything, making excuses, and giving power to people that enable the genocide, makes them Nazi collaborators.
And yet that's exactly what the majority of the population does, has done, and will do. You built your expectations out of hope and outrage, not history. That disappointment is on you when people don't act the way you expected or want.
The majority? Genocide supporters have been the minority for a while, they're just too bloodthirsty to realize it.
Celebrities are regular people, there is no intrinsic difference between them and everybody else in the world, they should be under the same expectations as everyone else. Cause and effect still applies to them. As outlined by another commenter, a lot of people (celebrities, even.) quit the agency for this specific reason, Ed wasn’t one of them.
Most regular people aren't paying much attention to it at all.
Hmmm, when it's someone in the entertainment industry who's that close to Epstein, it looks extra suspicious. I wonder if he was part of Epstein's "supply chain".
What's the logic behind persecuting Sheeran for this? Palestine yes, but this just seems dumb.
Ed Sheeran is incidental at this point. The boycott is the equivalent of breaking equipment at a factory. He is a profit engine for his agency, and if people don't go to his concert, his agency and the venues lose money. Sucks for him, but nobody held a gun to his head and forced him to hitch his wagon to this train.
Then why not name all artists the agency is handling? This seems like it's going to hurt nobody but Sheeran.
Because he made himself a target and life is not fair.
any relation to Debbie Wasserman Shultz? You know, the head of the DNC that conspired with Hillary Clinton in the 2016 elections to force Sanders out.
edit: sorry internet stranger. sorry that DWS and Hillary were such scumbags that they attempted to circumvent democratic process and in turn destroyed American democracy all to satiate their greed and hubris.
Unrelated in at least the closest 2-3 generations as far as I can tell. Casey's grandfather only had one child (Casey's mother who gave him the Wasserman name) whereas Debbie got her name from her father. Whether Casey's grandfather Lew had any siblings or cousins is harder to find out
