Taylor Swift Calls Upon Tennessee To Remove Confederate Statues

Taylor Swift has taken to her social media to ask the Tennessee state government to remove the Confederate statues within her state. The singer released a number of tweets earlier today, June 12, asking that the local government remove these statues and reasons for they should be removed.

In her tweets, Swift mentions two statues in particular that need immediate removal due to their racist backgrounds and how this will help all who live and visit Tennessee feel safer. Swift then goes on to state that “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.”
