...Pop superstar turned left-wing activist Taylor Swift has revealed that her upcoming song "Only the Young" was written in response to her disappointment in the 2018 midterm elections that saw Republicans take key seats in her home state of Tennessee and released to encourage young voters to get engaged in left-wing causes.
...Swift recently spoke to Variety about the new song and her political activism, which involved promoting Democratic candidates in Tennessee during the 2018 midterms.
...Swift specifically criticized Republican politicians for their stance on policies like the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
...A post shared by Taylor Swift on Oct 7, 2018 at 4:33pm PDT. Swift said she wrote "Only the Young" in the emotional aftermath of the 2018 elections.
..."I didn't know where it would end up. But I did think that it would be better for it to come out at a time that it could maybe hopefully stoke some fires politically and maybe engage younger people to form their own views, break away from the pack, and not feel like they need to vote exactly the same way that people in their town are voting."
