泰勒絲表態挺民主黨 川普嗆：對她音樂喜愛度降25％
美國總統川普在上任之前，曾多次在推特發文讚賞美國鄉村小天后泰勒絲（Taylor Swift），但她在7日首度公開個人的政治立場，表態支持民主黨。對此，川普提到，「我現在對她音樂的喜愛度減少了25%。」
泰勒絲7日在IG首次發表個人政治傾向，明確點出在11月6日的期中選舉時，她會把選票投給田納西州民主黨參議員候選人佈雷德森（Phil Bredesen），以及衆議員候選人的庫珀（Jim Cooper）。
「以前，我一直不願公開我的政治觀點，但由於過去2年裡，我的人生和這個世界都發生了許多事情，這讓我現在的感覺不一樣了」，泰勒絲指出，她支持同志人權與婦權，且反對種族歧視，「我不能把選票投給一位不願爲所有美國人尊嚴而戰的人。」
@taylorswift13 Thanks for the beautiful picture--- you are fantastic!
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. 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. 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. I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love. Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives. Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway. So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting!

泰勒絲更特別點名田納西州共和黨候選人布雷克本（Marsha Blackburn）在性別平等議題的投票紀錄，包括反對同工同酬以及保護婦女免受家暴、攻擊與約會強暴等的「反婦女暴力再授權法案」（Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act），「她過去在國會的投票紀錄令人震驚，把我給嚇壞了。」
對此，川普表示，「她（布雷克本）是個了不起的女人，我相信泰勒絲對她一無所知…這麼說吧，我現在對她音樂的愛減少了25%，可以嗎？」
