Taylor Swift Breaks Political Silence

Today Taylor Swift broke her career-long silence on politics to state that the record of the Republican Marsha Blackburn "appalls and terrifies" her. She instead endorsed former Democratic Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen in their race for the U.S. Senate.

“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,” Swift 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.”

One can only speculate if the recent Kavanaugh hearings and confirmation influenced Swift, because of her highly publicized 2017 case of sexual assault against her.
