Taylor Swift is urging her fans in Tennessee — and everywhere else — to vote in the upcoming presidential primary election amid Super Tuesday. Taylor Swift, 34, penned a statement on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, March 5 to encourage all of her fans in Tennessee to vote.” I wanted to remind everyone to vote for the candidates who best represent YOU. Vote.org can help you find your polling places and times, whether you’re in Tennesse or elsewhere in the U.S. Whether you’re in Tennesse or somewhere else in the U.S., check your polling places and times at Vote.org.“
Taylor is currently in Singapore, where she is scheduled to perform through Saturday, March 9, as part of her global Eras Tour. While the Grammy Award winner did not point to a specific candidate she prefers — Democratic candidate, President Joe Biden, or potential Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump — Taylor has previously supported Democrats. Many journalists and broadcasters have speculated recently about the influence the “Love Story‘ artist has on voters. Last year, many credited Taylor with the rise in voter registrations. This isn’t the first time that Taylor has publicly addressed politics. She has previously endorsed Joe and in her Netflix documentary Miss America, she made it clear that she didn’t support Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn for 2018. Taylor had explained her political views in a long Instagram post. “I have always and will always vote for candidates who will fight and protect the human rights that I believe we deserve in this nation. I support the fight for LGBTQ equality and believe that discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is wrong. I think that systemic racism is horrifying, sickening, and widespread in this country against people of color. I can’t vote for someone that won’t fight for the dignity of ALL Americans, regardless of their skin color, gender, or who they love.” Her voting record as a member of Congress is horrifying and appalls me. She voted against equal wages for women. She voted against reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act which attempts to protect females from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She also believes that they should not be allowed to marry. Toward the end of her post, Taylor pointed out that Marsha’s beliefs are not the singer’s personal “Tennessee values.”
