What did social media say?

The post divided the internet, and there were a few who dropped racist remarks. Some argued that they couldn’t comprehend why Taylor would give up her life in America to live in Pakistan.

An individual posted, “Imagine someone finding happiness in a different way with you and you rejecting it because of your own insecurities about whether you’re leading the right life. I bet she has more peace and sleeps better at night than any of the haters.”
