Swift's wrote "Only the Young," which was featured in her 2019 Netflix documentary Miss Americana, after the 2018 elections.
In early October, Swift officially endorsed Joe Biden in an interview with V magazine.
"The change we need most is to elect a president who recognizes that people of color deserve to feel safe and represented, that women deserve the right to choose what happens to their bodies, and that the LGBTQIA+ community deserves to be acknowledged and included," Swift said. "Everyone deserves a government that takes global health risks seriously and puts the lives of its people first. The only way we can begin to make things better is to choose leaders who are willing to face these issues and find ways to work through them."
