Taylor Swift shares heartfelt pride month message

-

TAYLOR Swift rocked her second sold-out Reputation Stadium Tour stop in Chicago in “Style,” despite the rain!

The pop star, 28, took the stage at Soldier Field on Saturday night, delivering highoctane, nonstop performanc­es of hit after hit.

After making her way through smashes old (“Love Story,” “You Belong with Me”) and new (“…Ready for It?” “Look What You Made Me Do”), Swift slowed things down to offer a heartfelt message to the LGBTQ community in honor of Pride Month before she introduced her latest single “Delicate.”

“It’s very brave to be vulnerable about your feelings in any situation, but it’s even more brave to be honest about your feelings and who you love when you know that it might be met with adversity from society,” Swift said in her speech, rousing cheers and applause from the crowd of 52,000.

“This month and every month I want to send my love and respect to everybody who has been brave enough to be honest about how they feel, to live their lives as they are, as they feel they should be, as they identify,” Swift added.

The star continued: “This is a month where I think we need to celebrate how far we’ve come, but I think we also need to acknowledg­e how far we have left to go. I want to send my love and respect to everybody who hasn’t felt comfortabl­e enough to come out yet … and may you do that on your own time and may we end up in a world where everyone can live and love equally and no one has to be afraid to all say how they feel.”

She concluded: “When it comes to feelings and when it comes to love and searching for someone to spend your whole life with … it’s all just really, really delicate …. you know?”
