Taylor Swift reveals why she was terrified

LOS ANGELES: Taylor Swift has revealed  that she kept silent about  politics for years as she was terrified  that her career would come to an end  like the Dixie Chicks if she spoke out.

Talking about the Dixie Chicks scandal during a candid interview with an American media outlet, Swift said:”I saw how one comment ended such a powerful reign, and it terrified me.”

The 30-year-old singer, who was a great fan of  Dixie Chicks as a child, broke down into tears when they were hated by outraged country music fans and dropped from country music stations after Natalie Maines told a crowd they were “ashamed” of then-President George W. Bush in the run-up to the Iraq War.

The pop superstar  also faced  backlash when she came out to slam Republican senatorial candidate Marsha Blackburn in the midterm election in her home state of Tennessee in November 2018.

The star also revealed her regret at not opposing US President Donald Trump before the 2016 election and that she stayed silent due to her family’s fears speaking out would put her in danger. However, she eventually decided getting political was the right thing to do.
