.TaylorSwift13 talked about her LGBTQ support, Katy Perry and President Trump, who ' weaponizes the idea of celebrity endorsement'
Regarding her recent prominent support of the LGBTQ community — evidenced by her donation of $113,000 to the Tennessee Equality Project as well as her appearance at New York’s legendary Stonewall earlier this summer and her “You Need to Calm Down” video — she told Vogue, “Maybe a year or two ago, Todrick [Hall, her singer-actor friend, who appears in the “Calm Down” video] and I are in the car, and he asked me, What would you do if your son was gay? The fact that he had to ask me . . .
The conversation soon segued to sexism. “I think about this a lot,” Swift said. “When I was a teenager, I would hear people talk about sexism in the music industry, and I’d be like, I don’t see it. I don’t understand. Then I realized that was because I was a kid. Men in the industry saw me as a kid. I was a lanky, scrawny, overexcited young girl who reminded them more of their little niece or their daughter than a successful woman in business or a colleague.
And fittingly enough, the conversation moved quickly from sexism to the president. “Unfortunately in the 2016 election you had a political opponent who was weaponizing the idea of the celebrity endorsement,” Swift said, without naming names. “He was going around saying, I’m a man of the people. I’m for you. I care about you. I just knew I wasn’t going to help.
