Melissa Barrera praises musicians dropping Ed Sheeran tour after Macklemore dismissal
Actress Melissa Barrera commented on the support received by rapper Macklemore after he was removed from Ed Sheeran's U.S. Loop Tour following a political speech in September.
Barrera compares her own experience
The actress stated it was beautiful to see opening acts like Finneas pull out of the tour. She noted she did not receive similar support when she was fired from the Scream franchise in 2023. Barrera explained that people were too scared to show solidarity at that time.
Tour changes after September concert
Macklemore delivered a speech supporting Palestine during a September 4 show at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The singer was dropped from the tour days later on September 14. Several performers have since cited their support for Macklemore as the reason for leaving.
