Taylor Swift’s transformation from singer to Political Voice

October 17, 2018

The noticeably politically-absent singer made a rare endorsement. Swift wrote in an Instagram post that she would be voting for Tennessee Democrats in the midterm elections.

“As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn,” Swift told her 112 million Instagram followers. “Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me.”

Swift said the congresswoman “voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry.” She added: “These are not MY Tennessee values.”

Swift took the stage at the American Music Awards and urged fans to vote in the upcoming midterm elections.
