The 2020 election is fast approaching, and Taylor Swift is ready for it.

The pop star wrote an article for Elle on Wednesday and said that she's "finding her voice in terms of politics" and has taken "a lot of time educating myself on the political system and the branches of government." Swift had remained silent on political issues for most of her career, but in 2018, she endorsed two Democratic candidates in Tennessee House and Senate elections. She also spoke out against Republican Senate candidate Marsha Blackburn, saying her "voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me."
