Taylor Swift has adopted a staunchly apolitical stance for a long time. Not even the most raging and indignant think pieces could move her from her resolve to seem politically disengaged, even as the public almost begged her to take a stand against all the symptoms of the Trump administration's ascent. But all this changed barely two hours ago when, on Instagram, of all places, the pop superstar finally revealed which side of the fence she stands on. Spoiler alert: She's a Democrat.
The post isn't without context. On November 6, American voters will head to the polls for the mid-term elections, wherein members of the House of Representatives and Senate will be elected, thereby influencing whether or not Trump's remaining presidential term is smooth. In this regard, Taylor Swift's post is revelatory for a number of reasons: It shows she 1) Believes in the sanctity of human rights 2) Supports the LGBTQ community 3) Is not a racist 4) Is against misogyny 5) Believes in the political process of voting.
If all this has changed your opinion about her, then, it's safe to say that her reputation has gone through yet another facelift.
