According to to GLAAD’s President and CEO, Sarah Kate Ellis, Swift prominently uses her platform to “promote LGBTQ acceptance.”

GLAAD specifically highlighted Swift’s support of the Equality Act in June 2019.
At the time, Swift wrote a letter to Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander, encouraging him to support the bill.

Swift’s LGBTQ allyship is also apparent in her song “You Need to Calm Down,” as it is an anti-hate anthem that promotes LGBTQ equality and acceptance.
