Taylor Swift makes emotional LGBTQ speech for pride month

So beautiful! - by Shahbaz M
  • 05 Jun 2018

Taylor Swift has made a heartfelt speech on LGBTQ+ community at her Reputation Stadium Show in Chicago.

The “Delicate” singer took some time out of the show to acknowledge Pride Month!

She told her 52,000 screaming fans: “It’s very brave to be vulnerable about your feelings in any situation, but it’s even more brave to be honest about your feelings and who you love when you know that it might be met with adversity from society" 

“This month and every month I want to send my love and respect to everybody who has been brave enough to be honest about how they feel, to live their lives as they are, as they feel they should be, as they identify” Swift concluded.

In the past, Taylor has been slammed for not speaking out when it comes to political issues, but it seems there is nothing holding Tay back with this new Reputation era! Props to Tay Tay for speaking out and showing love for her LGBTQ+ fans.
