'In order for policies to change, we need to elect people who will fight against police brutality and racism of any kind,' Taylor Swift tweeted on Tuesday
In the documentary, Swift and her mother Andrea attend a board meeting with members of her organization, to convince them to allow her to against then-Senatorial candidate, Republican Marsha Blackburn, who was anti-gay marriage, anti-gay rights and supported rolling back protections for women when it came to domestic violence and stalking.
With her mother’s backing, Swift tearfully tells the all-male group, “I’m saying right now that I’m doing something that I know is right and I need to be on the right side of history.” After Blackburn won the race, Swift vowed to help increase voter turnout for the 2020 elections, and penned the political anthem “Only the Young.”
“I was really upset about Tennessee going the way that it did, obviously. And so I just wanted to write a song about it," Swift told of the song. "I didn’t know where it would end up. But I did think that it would be better for it to come out at a time that it could maybe hopefully stoke some fires politically and maybe engage younger people to form their own views, break away from the pack, and not feel like they need to vote exactly the same way that people in their town are voting.
