The post comes after a tumultuous year in the Tennessee General Assembly, which brought up conversations of racism and overreach of power on the part of House Speaker Cameron Sexton. Swift grew up in Pennsylvania but owns two properties in Nashville, where she is registered to vote, according to CNN political reporter Kylie Atwood.

Taylor Swift, who is currently in Singapore on the international leg of her Eras Tour, is registered to vote in Tennessee. She voted by mail in the state’s primary, a source familiar tells @betsy_klein.
