Taylor Swift jumped back into the political arena with a bang on Friday. The “Shake It Off” singer knocked President Donald Trump’s stance on LGBTQ issues as she launched a campaign aimed at convincing senators to support the Equality Act. In a note on Twitter celebrating Pride Month, which starts Saturday, Swift acknowledged that while there was “so much to celebrate, we also have a great distance to go before everyone in this country is truly treated equally.” The House’s recent passing of the Equality Act — to protect LGBTQ people from discrimination at work, home and school — was “excellent news,” she wrote. But it still has to come before the Senate. So, Swift called on her fans to ask their senators to support the act ― and share their messages on social media with the #lettertomysenator hashtag.

Taylor Swift’s new rainbow-filled era is very fitting for Pride month. The singer showed off a multi-colored ensemble while performing at the 2019 iHeartRadio Wango Tango concert, including a rainbow fringe denim jacket. The Pride-appropriate outfit comes only one day after she posted a letter on Instagram to Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander, asking him to support the Equality Act, and encouraging her followers to write their senators as well. “HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!! While we have so much to celebrate, we also have a great distance to go before everyone in this country is truly treated equally,” she wrote in the caption. “In excellent recent news, the House has passed the Equality Act, which would protect LGBTQ people from discrimination in their places of work, homes, schools, and other public accommodations. The next step is that the bill will go before the Senate. I’ve decided to kick off Pride Month by writing a letter to one of my senators to explain how strongly I feel that the Equality Act should be passed. I urge you to write to your senators too. I’ll be looking for your letters by searching the hashtag #lettertomysenator.”

Taylor Swift performed at Wango Tango. Backstage she took a picture with Marilyn Manson and it's probably the best thing to come out of her current music era. And it did over the weekend in Los Angeles, where Taylor Swift was spotted and snapped with Marilyn Manson. Yes, the "Antichrist Superstar" Marilyn Manson met TayTay and the moment was captured for posterity. In further proof we now live in Bizarro World, the pair looked cheery -- well, Swift did -- as they posed for photos at the Wango Tango radio festival. What they chatted about and whether talk of a collaboration was brought up, was not recorded by those close by.

Taylor Swift's return is imminent, promising a busy summer for listeners and patient Swifties alike. The star announced her new album, "Lover," on social media Thursday, as well as a new single titled "You Need To Calm Down." An improvement on Swift's enjoyable yet overly earnest lead single "Me," "You Need to Calm Down" is cheekier and more understated, a more promising example of what fans can expect from her new record. Set for release Aug. 23, the 18-track record will also feature the Brendon Urie-featuring "Me!"It's her first full-length album since 2017's "Reputation." Want news from USA TODAY on WhatsApp? Click this link on your mobile device to get started The album art, credited to "artistic genius" Valheria Rocha, features Swift in glittery rainbow technicolor — a different color scheme than the icy melodrama of her 2017 album "Reputation." "Why are you mad when you could be GLAAD?" Swift sings on the new song, releasing an accompanying lyric video that makes it clear she's name-dropping GLAAD, short for the powerful Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation organization. "Thank you @taylorswift13" the organization wrote to Swift on Twitter, posting screenshots of GLAAD's mention in the lyric video.

The clip, uploaded on Thursday (June 20), shows the very-involved Swift on the video shoot. It focuses on her hanging out with the queens -- Trinity The Tuck, Delta Work, Jade Jolie, Trinity K. Bonet, Riley Knoxx, Adore Delano, Tatianna, A'keria and C. Davenport -- as they drink champagne and get into their celeb-inspired costumes. "I'll be on set. Anything you need -- snacks? -- I'm here," she says to Tatianna as she swoons over her Ariana Grande get-up. "They look so good. We've spent all day hanging out, having cocktails. It's been good," Swift shares, while we see her take on various co-director duties. At one point, Swift surprises Todrick Hall with a promotion. "So my friend Todrick is one of those people who is very generous with his effort and time and he would never ask for credit when he deserves it," she explains while on her way to his trailer. "He has put so much into this video, whether it was casting or ideas or fashion -- logistics, he's basically booked half this video -- so I'm going to ask him to be co-executive producer of the video in this card."
