Taylor Swift slams monuments to 'despicable' white supremacists: 'Villains don't deserve statues'

On Friday, singer-songwriter Taylor Swift condemned Tennessee's monuments to white supremacist figures in a lengthy Twitter thread.

Swift, who has a larger Twitter presence than President Donald Trump by follower count and whose musical career began in Nashville, focused on monuments to two specific historical figures: white supremacist newspaper editor Edward Carmack, and founding KKK leader Nathan Bedford Forrest.
