Taylor Swift has broken her long-held public political silence in an Instagram post encouraging her followers to vote in the November midterm elections and slamming Republican Tennessee representative Marsha Blackburn.

“In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now,” Swift began the post, which was accompanied by a moody, black-and-white photo of the superstar.

“I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country,” she wrote. “I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.”

“I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love,” the post continues.

My question is how do people find her attractive.

She is just not attractive. Very thin facial features with the cropped hair.

But she can sing though. "Delicate" is a jam!

Whenever I want keen political insight I always listen to singers who's songs sound like the opening songs for little girls cartoon shows. What a ditz!

How about the right to life, you disgusting brainwashed little tramp?

They’ve been trying to Nazi her for a while now. I guess she buckled.

meh

Any one dumb enough to cast their vote based on celebrity input was never going to vote for Marsha anyway

clearly TS has not attended the Dolly Parton School of Etiquette.
Shut up and Sing. You’re not qualified for much else as displayed by your ignorant statement.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Because they have nothing else, they can’t understand anything else so they just spew the common PC BS

These people are incredibly stupid, they don’t have an original thought that’s why they are such political lemmings

‘events in her life’?

Sounds like a semi-admission on her part to some personal action that may come to light.

[Kenny Bania]

Another celebrity endorsing liberalism. A real profile in courage. /s

[novemberslady]

but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years

She included a black and white picture of herself, so you know she’s very serious.

And, aside from all that baggage-— not from nashville, and northern... she is one devious person. Everything that is wrong with Nashville’s murder of country music— this plastic nothing music for the current target demographic.

Several inside stories on her— none of them very nice at all. And here, she is abandoning the very families that produce the buyers of her records. Devious, and lying.

I'll just leave this, here....

[Electric Graffiti]

Never heard of the b!tch.

“She is a talented singer songwriter”

And now has sold her soul.

Taylor Swift?

Who’s that?

Nice job sticking up for us Northerners, who aren't all bad as some from the South may assume. It is certainly true that the Columbus statue will be standing tall in NYC tomorrow (Columbus Day!) thanks to those who spoke up against de blasio's idiotic desire to take it down out of political correctness. Yet, as you state, many Southern statues came down with barely a whimper.

The Southerners are for the most part great people but some of them tend to do a lot of tough talking about the North. Brings to mind this Onion piece which is of course satire, but good satire, and good satire is rooted in truth.
