In the documentary, Swift, her mother and her publicist are seen discussing the possible consequences for the pop star to speak out publicly about politics, the Daily Beast reported.

Swift’s team reportedly raised safety concerns over angering political extremists, in addition to the commercial consequences of endorsing one side of the aisle over another. One person says some fans may interpret her statement as criticizing Trump.

“I don’t care if they write that,” she says. “I’m sad I didn’t say it two years ago,” later adding, “I want to be on the right side of history.”

The film goes on to discuss Swift’s view of how she has been treated by the media, sexism and a slate of other personal and political issues, the Daily Beast reported.

A new song from Swift plays over the closing credits of the film that she wrote after the 2018 midterms to help inspire disappointed young voters, the star revealed in an interview with Variety.

Swift said she wrote the song, titled “Only the Young,” because “it was hard to see so many people feel like they had canvassed and done everything and tried so hard. I saw a lot of young people’s hopes dashed.”

"And I found that to be particularly tragic," she told Variety, "because young people are the people who feel the worst effects of gun violence, and student loans and trying to figure out how to start their lives and how to pay their bills, and climate change, and are we going to war — all these horrific situations that we find ourselves facing right now.”
