SILENT NO MORE. The country-turned-pop star was once proud about staying apolitical – that thankfully isn't the case now. Photo from Taylor Swift's Instagram

MANILA, Philippines – There was once a time when Taylor Swift, arguably one of the biggest music stars of her generation, would be criticized for staying even in the most crucial moments in American politics. She's since regretted her silence – especially after Donald Trump won in the 2016 elections.Early Wednesday, June 3, Taylor Swift posted on her Instagram, where she boasts of over 113 million followers, a story urging followers to educate themselves on the most pressing issues because “this doesn’t go away once the topic isn’t ‘trending.’”

The post, a screenshot of a carrd page, links primarily to resources and pages on the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States. In her home country, protests have erupted in every state over the killing of George Floyd in the hands of Minneapolis police. His death, and the death of so many Black Americans before him, renewed indignation over prejudice and injustice towards black people in America.
