Earlier this month, Taylor Swift made an appeal to her fans via Instagram in which she attacked the voting record of the Republican candidate running in Tennessee’s mid-term elections. “I cannot support Marsha Blackburn,” Swift wrote. “Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act … She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not my Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives.”
