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.

No,she said several events. IIRC the simplified definition of several is more than three and less than many.So let's give her the benefit of the doubt and say she's had four abortions.
Sigh, another lecture from a badly undereducated person in the entertainment industry. Why in the world don’t people laugh them off the stage? They aren’t there for their vast knowledge or intellectual accomplishments; they don’t know beans. They’re only there to sing or throw a football or something. Hello, America!... Stop listening to them!
Well, she just got unsexy.
A young mush for brains celebrity caught up in the celebrity world.
Believe it or not most of this extends - as Goldwater predicted - from the slippery slope of “civil rights” laws and thinking that breached the true limits of freedom and Liberty with “public accomodation” provisions and “affirmative action”; which turned on it’s head the idea that “the government cannot discriminate” to “the government can discriminate if you are not in agreement with government on whose rights can be expended”, and then the Leftists turned all that into making what the government cannot do, to mean that is what you in your private associations cannot do.
Discrimination by government policy - the “Jim Crow” laws of the segregated south was not really outlawed, it was just changed to who government can and can’t discriminate against.
Thank you :)
Yeah NO WAY that was happening.
And our letters to our reps were not southern and they were not gentlemanly :) They were, however, effective.
hope life finds you well :)

Taylor ain’t too swift!
.
As for her music, I've probably heard some, but couldn't name her. I hear she writes a lot of revenge songs about ex boyfriends. That would be a good reason to stay away from her.
Still moving along.thanks for asking.
I get so sick of North bashing by some here.
I have never heard anyone in my area bash Southerners,not once.
I just don’t get it.
.
ROFL!!
I mailed you my favorite line from it because you are INSANE to post that link here!!!
Once again it is proven that the eloquent, polite and DEADLY post is ALWAYS stronger than the crass one, like mine! :)
I almost didn’t read it. Then I said why not?
I didn’t know you were insane and over the top.
Nice to know :)
Taylor (notso)Swift has had a change of heart?
These entertainers need to understand that they are ticking off half of their fans which means less sales.
When that happened Kanye was excoriated here on FR and ms Swift defended. My how things can change. Maybe with his championing the President that was one of the events she mentioned but who knows. Anyone here have any of the Nazi Barbie images they used?
I’m giving her a break for her age and her friendships with gender different people.
The csucking crossdressers and leatherboys of the san francisco street s&m and pride events have no dignity and it wasn’t their critics who took it from them.
AMEN! She is so overrated.
And now a confirmed moron.
If she really was in it to win it she’d give away a month of concerts in Tennessee to get people to go to her candidate’s rallies.
She was groped by a radio “DJ” and Kayne interrupted her onstage at the MTV awards once.
I make stupid statements frequently
Ask my wife or my employees or my lawyer
People think Taylor is a southerner and white southerners are 75-92 perfent gop voters usually
I’m from Mississippi where Trump is low 90s amongst whites
Here in TN he got around 80 % in 2016
In Pennsylvania Trump got 56% of the white vote
It may be stupid for me to say it but it’s not factually inaccurate
White Southerners are the most socially conservative culture in the nation
More than Utah and Idaho
And yes Oklahoma is southern too
People think Taylor is southern
I being stupid yet again did not know that till recently
I thought she was sumner county TN born and reared
Massachusetts whites vote was split evenly per exit polling in 2016 tween Sanders and Hillary, minorities votes handed it to her
Really two distinct electorates between most north and most south with whites
I don’t know her music
I just know she’s bitchy about exes and freepers like her
The money in music these days isn’t in album or single sales. It is in streaming services. Drake got a platinum status on a song with no sales.
