.taylorswift13's recent Vogue interview was very enlightening.
It’s only recently that Taylor Swift has become vocal on political topics. Normally, her social media presence and commentary has been solely focussed on her career, music, life, etc. But in her most recent interview with Vogue, Taylor Swift explained her reason for being non-political in 2016. She shared why she didn’t publicly endorse Hilary Clinton during the 2016 Presidential election. And it wasn’t personal.
“Unfortunately in the 2016 election you had a political opponent who was weaponizing the idea of the celebrity endorsement,” she said, without directly mentioning Trump by name. “He was going around saying, I’m a man of the people. I’m for you. I care about you. I just knew I wasn’t going to help.” In October 2018, Swift’s views changed. She shared a post with a message like never before, urging her fans and followers to vote in the then-upcoming election. “I’m writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which I’ll be voting in the state of Tennessee. 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.
