While Swift, 28, has been criticized for staying quiet on political matters in the past, she went on to explain why she's speaking out.

\"This is a month where I think we need to celebrate how far we’ve come, but I think we also need to acknowledge how far we have left to go,\" she said.

\"I want to send my love and respect out to everybody who hasn’t felt comfortable enough to come out yet,\" Swift continued, \"and may you do that on your own time and may we end up in a world where everyone can live and love equally and no one has to be afraid to all say how they feel.\"

She finished heartfelt speech by name-checking her single.

\"When it comes to feelings and when it comes to love and searching for someone to spend your whole life with,\" she continued in a lead-up to her song, \"It’s all just really, really 'Delicate.'\"

Swift will continue her Reputation tour in several U.S. cities, including Detroit, Nashville and Miami before heading overseas.
