LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ruby Rose is standing firmly behind her long-time friend Taylor Swift amid growing online criticism over the pop star’s perceived political silence.

The 39-year-old Australian model and actress took to Threads this week to push back against conspiracy theories targeting Swift, calling the claims “incredibly stupid” and “hurtful.”

Ruby Rose shuts down conspiracy theories about Taylor Swift

Rose began her message by clarifying her close relationship with Swift, referencing their long conversations about “the world, social injustice and life.” Without directly naming the hate groups spreading misinformation, she wrote, “I refuse to say her name in the same sentence as the hate group, Wackadoodles, are conspiring to attach her to.”

She continued, “Given her public position against Trump, and his against her, if you are falling for the propaganda ‘Trad wife,’ ‘X, Y, Z’ claims, you are most definitely walking into the biggest man-made, rage-bait, black hole. Stop it.”

The former 'Batwoman' star didn’t hold back as she called out the online narratives surrounding Swift’s name. “It’s not true, and it’s incredibly stupid. It’s also embarrassing and hurtful to see energy put into this,” Rose added.

She urged fans to redirect their attention, saying, “Keep that energy and let’s take it where it’s necessary and needed.”

Rose’s comments came after a wave of online speculation linking Swift to so-called “trad wife” ideologies, a narrative her supporters and friends have repeatedly rejected.

The Australian star has long been known for her outspoken defense of Swift, previously stepping in during public spats involving the singer. In 2017, Rose criticized Katy Perry’s “Swish Swish,” which was widely believed to be a diss track aimed at Swift, calling it “mean-spirited and unnecessary.”

Taylor Swift continues to focus on her music

While Rose’s comments reignited conversations around Swift’s public image, the 35-year-old pop icon is focusing on her professional success. Taylor recently celebrated the record-breaking performance of her latest album 'The Life of a Showgirl', which topped global charts within days of release.
