Taylor Swift has found her political voice, recently calling out the president, while advocating for police department reforms and mail-in voting.
On Friday, the singer-songwriter took to Twitter, demanding the removal of Confederate monuments in her adopted home state of Tennessee.
In the 10-message thread, Swift is particularly upset with officials vowing to replace the statue of newspaper editor Edward Carmack, which was torn down during recent protests.
"Taking down statues isn't going to fix centuries of systemic oppression, violence and hatred that black people have had to endure but it might bring us one small step closer to making ALL Tennesseans and visitors to our state feel safe – not just the white ones," she writes, adding, "We need to retroactively change the status of people who perpetuated hideous patterns of racism from 'heroes' to 'villains.' And villains don't deserve statues."
