Pop star previously came out in support of U. S. Senate candidate Phil Bredesen<\/b>
\nTaylor Swift\u2019s political streak has continued with yet another Instagram post encouraging her fans to vote for Democrats in the upcoming midterm election.
\u201cThese two Tennessee women voted for the candidate who has proven himself to be reasonable and trustworthy,\u201d Swift wrote in a post accompanying a photo of herself and her mother posing with a sign for Tennesse Democrat Phil Bredesen. \u201cWe want leadership, not fear-based extremism. Early voting goes til Thursday and Election Day is November 6. Please don\u2019t sit this one out.\u201d
Swift broke her long-standing political silence earlier this month in a lengthy post declaring her support for Democratic political candidates and encouraging her followers to become more politically active.

\u201cPlease, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values,\u201d she wrote. \u201cFor a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway.\u201d
According to the nonprofit Vote.org, voter registration across the country spiked by 65,000 people in the 24-hour period following Swift\u2019s post.
\u201cI always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country,\u201d Swift said. \u201cI believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG.\u201d<\/p>\n
