Swift has been vocal about her political views since she endorsed Phil Bredesen, the Democratic candidate for Senate in her home state of Tennessee, in 2018.
Then, in 2019, sheshared a copyof aletter she had writtento Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander, a Republican, urging him to support the Equality Act, which would prevent discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
“While we have so much to celebrate, we also have a great distance to go before everyone in this country is truly treated equally,” Swift told fans, urging them to join her in writing to their own state senators.
In 2020, she shared a Tweet thread encouraging people to vote in order to fight against police brutality and racism.
“Racial injustice has been ingrained deeply into local and state governments, and changes MUST be made there,” she wrote in her first tweet. “In order for policies to change, we need to elect people who will fight against police brutality and racism of any kind. #BlackLivesMatter.”
In the last tweet of her thread, Swift urged people to fight for access to mail-in voting for the 2020 election since concerns aboutCOVID-19hindered some from going to the polls.
“We need to fight for mail-in voting for the 2020 election. No one should have to choose between their health and having their voice heard,” she wrote.
Swift is currently on the North American leg of Eras Tour, withher next showson Friday and Saturday in Denver.
