Taylor Swift on Why She Was Silent During the 2016 Election
According to Swift, however, her silence was actually in defense of Hillary Clinton.
"Unfortunately, in the 2016 election, you had a political opponent who was weaponizing the idea of the celebrity endorsement... I just knew I wasn’t going to help," Swift told 'Vogue.

"Would I be an endorsement or would I be a liability? Look, snakes of a feather flock together. Look, the two lying women. The two nasty women. Literally millions of people were telling me to disappear. So I disappeared. In many senses," said Swift.
Since then, Taylor has been much more vocal about her political stances, saying she feels “very differently” now.
"In the past, I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now," Swift told Vogue.
