During her Eras Tour concert in Chicago on June 2, Taylor shared a heartwarming speech to celebrate the beginning of Pride Month.

“I’m looking out tonight, I’m seeing so many incredible individuals who are living authentically and beautifully, and this is a safe space for you,” the pop star said in videos shared on social media. “This is a celebratory space for you. One of the things that makes me feel so prideful is getting to be with you and watching you interact with each other, being so loving and so thoughtful and so caring.”

Swift continued, “Being with you during Pride Month, getting to sing the words to ‘You Need to Calm Down,’ where there are lyrics like ‘Can you just not step on his gown?’ or ‘Shade never made anybody less gay,’ and you guys are screaming those lyrics. Such solidarity. Such support of one another and such encouraging, beautiful acceptance and peace and safety. And I wish that every place was safe and beautiful for people of the LGBTQ+ community.”
