Hotel housekeepers have asked Taylor Swift to postpone her Eras tour stops in Los Angeles in solidarity with their fight for a living wage. In an open letter published in the Los Angeles Times Thursday, dozens of workers appealed to the superstar singer-songwriter’s sensibilities as a “strong and fearless woman” to consider their case. “Dear Taylor, as a strong and fearless woman, you inspire us,” the letter began. Per a release from Unite Local 11, which ran the open letter as a paid ad, “The ongoing hotel worker labor unrest in Los Angeles has caused groups such as the Democratic Governors Association, the Japanese American Citizens League, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and ‘Vanderpump Rules’ to cancel their events.”The letter arrived a week before Swift is set to play the six shows in Los Angeles, beginning Thursday and running through Aug. 9.
