The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Oh she's absolutely shifted it. Telling people to register to vote, to go vote. She's had an impact.

It's really interesting too. If I remember right, she said in a pandemic era interview that she was told to not go political in country music. She came to realize though she needed to say something -- she was rather disturbed by the far right claiming her as an Aryan goddess or something. A gay friend of hers also encouraged her to use her platform to promote gay rights.

Long story short though, she's realized the importance of speaking out, and her newer songs talk about gender norms and how she's expected to be a wife and all that. She's a really interesting person!

And I'm a 29 year old dude, just accept the Swiftness into your soul
