The performance came in the wake of the release of Swift\u2019s new single \u201cYou Need to Calm Down,\u201d<\/a> seen by many as an anti-homophobia anthem. The track, which calls<\/a> out haters and gives a shout-out to GLAAD, prompted a surge in donations<\/a> to the LGBTQ rights group.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, Swift, lobbied Senator Lamar Alexander for passage of the Equality Act<\/a>, and made a massive unsolicited $113,000 donation<\/a>\u00a0to the Tennessee Equality Project, an LGBTQ rights group working to overturn discriminatory legislation in the state.<\/p>\n

Wrote Swift in the letter to Alexander: \u201cI personally reject the President\u2019s stance that his administration, \u2018supports equal treatment of all,\u2019 but that the Equality Act, \u2018in its current form is filled with poison pills that threaten to undermine parental and conscience rights.\u2019 No. One cannot take the position that one supports a community, while condemning it in the next breath as going against \u2018conscience\u2019 or \u2018parental rights.\u2019 That statement implies that there is something morally wrong with being anything other than heterosexual and cisgender, which is an incredibly harmful message to send to a nation full of healthy and loving families with same-sex<\/a>, non-binary or transgender parents, sons or daughters.\u201d<\/p>\n
