John Legend Praises Taylor Swift for Being “Willing to Take That Risk” With Kamala Harris Endorsement

"It was riskier for her to start speaking out about politics than it is for me," the singer-songwriter says.

While Swift was known to stay away from politics earlier in her career, she ultimately spoke out in 2018, endorsing Democratic candidates Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper in the U.S. midterm elections in her home state of Tennessee. As for Legend, he believes Harris “ should be our next president,” because “she’s more presidential, she’s more intelligent, she understands the problems of the American people better and has better solutions,” compared to Republican nominee Donald Trump, who he described as “utterly toxic, unqualified and was manifestly terrible at his job.” Elsewhere in his interview with The Independent, the “All of Me” singer opened up about the double standards women face in society, including his wife Chrissy Teigen, who is constantly scrutinized for her appearance, outfits and parenting style.
