Taylor Swift Will Be Honored With The Vanguard Award at GLAAD Media Awards

Congrats are in order for Taylor Swift!

The 30-year-old “You Need To Calm Down” singer is set to be honored at the upcoming GLAAD Media Awards with the Vanguard Award.

The award is given each year to honor “allies who have made a significant difference in promoting acceptance of LGBTQ people.”

“From boldly standing up against anti-LGBTQ elected officials to shining attention on the urgent need to protect LGBTQ people from discrimination through the Equality Act, Taylor Swift proudly uses her unique ability to influence pop culture to promote LGBTQ acceptance,” Sarah Kate Ellis, the CEO and President of the organization, shared in the statement. “In a time of political and cultural division, Taylor creates music that unites and calls on her massive fan following to speak up and call for change.”

The 2020 GLAAD Media Awards will be held on April 16th in Los Angeles.
