One of Taylor’s major downfalls as a celebrity has always been her lack of political prowess. As the now 30-year-old has come into her own, she feels more educated on the political avenues she could take and has begun to be more vocal about the causes she supports.
In fact, her newest music video ends with a pretty pointed call to action. The message appears at the end of her video for ‘You Need to Calm Down‘ and it directs viewers to Taylor’s Change.org petition to the US Senate to support the Equality Act, which would make LGBTQI+ discrimination illegal nationwide. Although Taylor has never outwardly supported the LGBTQI+ community in the past, her positive support now has been embraced by most fans.
There are still some who would suggest that Swift is exploiting the LGBTQI+ community in using images, actions, and ideas that are stereotypically queer. People are left wondering why Swift is so late to the game and have accused her of just jumping on the Pride bandwagon now that more celebrities are doing so.
While dropping her newest single in the middle of Pride month may have been a no-brainer for the gay rights anthem ‘You Need to Calm Down’, the singer follows in the footsteps of commercial America when she utilizes the appeal and the support of the gay community to promote her work.
The lyrics, the colors, and the ensemble cast of her newest music video all point to the LGBTQI+ community, and although it may seem a little over the top, and critics have pointed out it is a bit kitschy, it is still putting a positive message out into the world.
