Megan Rapinoe, known for her activism on and off the soccer field, expressed similar sentiments. “I’ve always believed in standing up for what’s right, but I need to take a step back and recharge. This is a deeply personal decision that I’ve been contemplating for a while,” she said.
Taylor Swift, who has recently been vocal about political and social issues, hinted at seeking creative inspiration abroad. “I want to broaden my horizons and connect with the world in new ways. This isn’t a goodbye forever; it’s just a new chapter,” Swift told her fans on social media.
The announcement has sparked intense reactions, with supporters praising their courage and critics accusing them of abandoning the country. “If they feel they can’t contribute here anymore, that’s their choice. But it’s disheartening to see them leave when they’ve been such influential voices,” one Twitter user commented.
Meanwhile, fans around the globe have expressed excitement about the possibility of seeing more of Goldberg, Rapinoe, and Swift in international arenas. “We’re ready to welcome them with open arms,” a fan in Europe wrote.
