Taylor Swift is brushing aside her usual silence on politics.
On Sunday, she threw her support behind two Democrats running for Congress in Tennessee. She endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Phil Bredesen and House candidate Jim Cooper.
Swift said on Instagram she used to stay away from politics, but some events over the past two years made her speak up.
She said she wants to support candidates who fight for LGBTQ rights and against discrimination and racism.
In her post, Swift also urged her young fans who have not registered to vote yet, to do so.
President Trump responded to Swift’s endorsement of Democrats Monday.
“I like her music about 25 percent less now,” he told reporters.
