Please, please, please support her and her teammates because this is not over yet. It’s not resolved. It’s happening everywhere, and they are heroes and icons for standing up,” Taylor added.
“I just want to talk to the fans for a second. You make me so happy, you make me laugh every day online. I love meeting you. I love loving you. You are just the most amazing, generous people. Thank you for giving me the life that I have. Every single minute of every day, I know that you are the reason I have the life I have and that I get to do what I love doing,” she shared.
She added, “If anyone is a teen out there, I think one thing I wish I would have known when I was a teen is that mistakes are inevitable. I just want you to know that if you are out there and you are being really hard on yourself right now for something that has happened, it’s normal. That is what is going to happen to you in life. No one gets through unscathed. We are all going to have a few scratches on us.”
While finishing her speech, Taylor made fans excited when she announced releasing a new song called “lover” on August 16th next week on Friday.
“I also just wanted to tell you, there’s so much that I’m excited about coming up in the next 12 days until my album comes out. The album comes out on August 23rd, but I wanted to tell you guys tonight that on the 16th, on Friday, I have a new song called ‘Lover’ that is coming out, and I’m so excited. I love you,” she said.
