Katy Perry congratulates Taylor Swift for "setting a good example" with a political stance

Taylor Swift – the pop star who's particularly far removed from politics – shocked many fans and critics when she broke her silence earlier in the month, writing on Instagram that she will vote for Tennessee Democrats in the mid-term elections.

Swift's remarks caught the attention of Katy Perry, a friend who became the enemy, who became one of the first people to "love" the message, causing rumors that the bad blood between Swift and Perry had finally disappeared.

"She sets a good example," Perry told Variety on Thursday night at the AmfAR Gala in Beverly Hills, California, where the "Roar" singer was honored with a Courage award.

Perry, who is in the habit of making headlines with his own political positions, congratulated Swift for his overflowing attitude and for expressing his opinion to the masses.

Swift, 28, criticized Senate Republican candidate Marsha Blackburn in an Instagram post.

"Although in the past and I wish to continue voting for women in office, I can not support Marsha Blackburn," Swift told his 112 million Instagram followers. "His voting record in Congress calls me and terrifies me."

Swift said the congresswoman "voted against equal pay for women and voted against the law re-authorizing the law on violence against women, which aims to protect women from violence. Domestic violence, criminal harassment and forced rape Companies have the right to refuse to serve homosexuals It also believes that they should not have the right to marry. "

"These are not my Tennessee values," said the singer of "Fearless" online.

Swift concluded by declaring that she will vote for Democrat Phil Bredesen in the Senate and for Representative Jim Cooper, a Democrat who is running for re-election.

Bredesen quickly thanked Swift for his support on Twitter, writing that he was "honored" by his support and by "that of so many Tennesseans willing to put aside partisan cries and get things done".

"Thanks for the kind words @taylorswift13. I am honored to have your support and that of so many Tennesseans ready to put aside partisan cries and get things done. We are ready for that. "
