Swift, who kept away from politics for much of her career, broke her silence in 2018 when she backed former Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen (D) against then-Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) for Senate. 

It was the singer’s first major foray into elections, and a video clip released later showed Swift saying she regretted not speaking up in the 2016 presidential race. 

“I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love,” Swift said of Blackburn in a 2018 Instagram post.

Notably, Bredesen lost to Blackburn in the 2018 Tennessee Senate race, despite Swift’s backing.
