In what has been a huge u-turn from her previous radio silence on politics, Swift hasn't kept quiet about the election over the past number of weeks. The singer previously took social media to urge fans to register to vote, which saw a huge spike in voter registrations, especially in Swift's home state of Tennessee.
Swift has now voted early, and was not so subtle informing her fans of her choice. She said, pictured with her mam, "These two Tennessee women voted for the candidate who has proven himself to be reasonable and trustworthy. We want leadership, not fear-based extremism. Early voting goes til Thursday and Election Day is November 6. Please don’t sit this one out":
In her previous Instagram post, Swift voiced her concern over candidate Marsha Blackburn. She slammed Blackburn, saying "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."
Swift continued, "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."
Her post received 2.1 million likes, and it's fair to say that people are listening to the 'Bad Blood' singer. Following her post, Tennessee saw 65,000 voting registrations alone.
