Swift continued, "Being with you during Pride Month, getting to sing the words to 'You Need to Calm Down,' where there are lyrics like 'Can you just not step on his gown?' or 'Shade never made anybody less gay,' and you guys are screaming those lyrics. Such solidarity. Such support of one another and such encouraging, beautiful acceptance and peace and safety. And I wish that every place was safe and beautiful for people of the LGBTQ+ community."

The "Anti-Hero" singer went on to call out legislation targeting the LGBTQ+ community and to encourage her fans to vote in upcoming elections.
