Melissa Barrera Says Support for Macklemore After He Was Dropped from Ed Sheeran’s Tour Is ‘Beautiful’ and ‘I Didn’t Get That’ After Being Fired From ‘Scream’

Melissa Barrera expressed emotion seeing musicians like Finneas drop out of Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour to support Macklemore, who was dismissed following onstage remarks supporting Palestine. Barrera noted she did not receive similar support after being fired from the Scream franchise in 2023 for her pro-Palestinian social media posts. Meanwhile, pro-Palestine protesters gathered outside Sheeran's Philadelphia concert at Lincoln Financial Field, demanding freedom for Palestine as the tour continued despite the ongoing fallout.
