[(Title)] Taylor Swift announces vote for Democrat Phil Bredesen in Tennessee Senate race.

Taylor Swift announced on Instagram Tuesday that she cast an early vote for Democratic Senate candidate Phil Bredesen in Tennessee, and urged others in the state to do the same.

泰勒·斯威夫特周二在Ins上宣布，她支持田纳西州民主党参议院候选人菲尔·布莱德斯恩，并敦促该州的其他人也这样做。

The pop star posted a photo of herself and her mother, Andrea Swift, posing by a Bredesen campaign sign and wrote that the pair "voted for the candidate who has proven himself to be reasonable and trustworthy."

这位流行歌星贴出了一张自己和她母亲安德烈·斯威夫特的照片，上面写着，两人“投票支持值得信任的候选人”。

"We want leadership, not fear-based extremism," she continued. "Early voting goes til Thursday and Election Day is November 6. Please don't sit this one out."

“我们想要领导力而不是建立在恐惧之上的极端主义，”她继续说道，“选举日是11月6日。请不要忽视这一天。”

Weeks earlier, Swift broke her longstanding political silence to endorse Bredesen while strongly criticizing his opponent, Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn.

几周前，斯威夫特打破她长期以来的政治沉默，支持民主党议员，同时强烈批评他的对手共和党众议员玛莎·布莱克本恩(Marsha Blackburn)。

"In the past I've been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now," she wrote earlier this month.

她本月早些时候写道：“在过去，我一直不愿意公开发表自己的政治见解，但由于过去两年里在世界上发生了几起事件，我现在对此感觉很不一样。”

"I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country."

"我一直并将始终投票支持将会保护和争取人权的候选人，我认为我们国家需要这样的人"。

The endorsement caught the attention of the political world, including President Donald Trump, who told reporters soon after Swift's initial post that he was "sure Taylor Swift knows knows nothing, or doesn't know anything about" Blackburn.

这一背书引起了政治界的关注，包括特朗普总统。特朗普在斯威夫特最初的帖子发布之后不久对记者说，他“确信泰勒·斯威夫特对布莱克本恩一无所知或是知之甚少。”

"Let's just say I like her music about 25 percent less now," he said.

特朗普说：“我对她音乐的喜爱度下降了25%。”

Recent polling has shown Blackburn building up a healthy lead over Bredesen after the former governor spent weeks locked in a dead heat with the congresswoman.

最近的民调显示，布莱克本恩在布莱德森州建立了健康的领导层。
