Taylor Swift is โ€œfilled with rage and griefโ€ after the shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

At least 19 children and two adults were killed by a gunman at Robb Elementary School on Tuesday (24.05.22), and celebrities have been calling for change in the United States.

Sharing a video of NBA coach Steve Kerrโ€™s passionate plea for tighter gun control, Taylor tweeted: โ€œFilled with rage and grief, and so broken by the murders in Uvalde.

โ€œBy Buffalo, Laguna Woods and so many others. By the ways in which we, as a nation, have become conditioned to unfathomable and unbearable heartbreak.

โ€œSteveโ€™s words ring so true and cut so deep.โ€

Golden State Warriors coach Kerr emotionally urged politicians to take action as he blasted the โ€œpatheticโ€ state of affairs, and refused to discuss basketball during his press conference.

He said: โ€œIโ€™m tired. Iโ€™m so tired of getting up here and offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there.

โ€œIโ€™m so tired of the โ€“ Iโ€™m sorry โ€“ Iโ€™m tired of the moments of silence. Enough.โ€

He added: โ€œI ask all of you senators who refuse to do anything about the violence and school shootings and supermarket shootings, I ask you: Are you going to put your own desire for power ahead of the lives of our children and our elderly and our churchgoers? Because thatโ€™s what it looks like.โ€

Taking to Twitter, Chris Evans simply said: โ€œF****** ENOUGH!!!!โ€

Selena Gomez called on โ€œthose in powerโ€ to โ€œstop giving lip serviceโ€ and take action.

She wrote: โ€œToday in my home state of Texas 18 innocent students were killed while simply trying to get an education.

โ€œA teacher killed doing her job; an invaluable yet sadly under appreciated job. If children arenโ€™t safe at school where are they safe?

โ€œItโ€™s so frustrating and Iโ€™m not sure what to say anymore. Those in power need to stop giving lip service and actually chance the laws to prevent these shootings in the future.โ€

โ€˜Schittโ€™s Creekโ€™ actor Dan Levy tweeted: โ€œChildren. What will it take to prioritize humanity over politics?โ€

Billie Eilishโ€™s brother and collaborator Finneas Oโ€™Connell wrote: โ€œAnyone saying โ€˜now isnโ€™t the time to talk about gun controlโ€™ doesnโ€™t care that kids got f****** murdered today.โ€
