Taylor Swift Kicks Off Pride Month with ‘This Is a Safe Space for You’ Speech at Chicago Concert
The singer’s Eras tour, which started on March 17, is now in action.
Taylor Swift is making sure that everyone feels loved while on the Eras Tour.
During her performance in Chicago on Friday, the 33-year-old singer took some time to commemorate June as Pride Month and to honor the “brilliant crowds of people who are living their authentic lives.”
“They are loving who they want to love, they are identifying how they identify, and allies who get to support them in and celebrate them in that,” she said, adding “This is a safe space for you. This is a celebratory space for you. And one of the things that makes me feel so prideful is getting to be with you, and watching you interact with each other, and being so loving, and so thoughtful, and so caring.”
In her statement, the Midnights singer made mention of the legislation aimed at the LGBTQ population that is gaining traction around the country.

“There have been so many harmful pieces of legislation that have put people in the LGBTQ and queer community at risk. It’s painful for everyone, every ally, every loved one, every person in these communities, and that’s why I’m always posting, ‘This is when the midterms are, This is when these important key primaries are.’” she explained.
The Grammy Award-winning singer used the occasion to conclude her statement by urging people to utilize Pride Month as a reminder of the significance of voting.
“We can support as much as we want during Pride Month, but if we’re not doing our research on these elected officials, are they advocates?” she said. “Are they allies? Are they protectors of equality?”
The singer of “Karma” most recently announced the first batch of her tour’s foreign dates, revealing that she will make eight further stops in Latin America.
She wrote alongside her announcement: “Really thrilled to tell you this!! Mexico, Argentina and Brazil: We are bringing The Eras Tour to you this year! Sweet angel princess @sabrinacarpenter will be joining us on all of the shows!” Swift wrote on social media. “Visit taylorswift.com/tour for more information on your registrations, pre-sales and on-sales.”
