And it looks like her political views will be making their way into her upcoming album as she recently told a media outlet in Germany that TS7 will defs be more political than her previous songs.
“I definitely think there are political undertones in the new music I made,” she said, according to translations.
“I’m not planning to stop encouraging young people to vote and to try to get them to talk about what’s going on in our country. I think that’s one of the most important things I could do.”
She adds: “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 colour is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.”
Just one month out from the midterms, Swift posted a Polaroid photo of herself on Instagram and urged her fans to get out and vote, marking the very first time she had publicly held a political view since the start of her career.
