Taylor Swift unveils political Miss Americana track "Only The Young"
Taylor Swift has released her politically-charged new track "Only The Young", lifted from her new Netflix documentary Miss Americana.
Swift's new single, which is released as part of her new documentary Miss Americana, is a politically-driven track that sees her make reference to the last US election, "The game was rigged / The ref got tricked / The wrong ones think they’re right / You were outnumbered, this time."
Speaking to Variety about her new song, Swift says, "I wrote it after the midterm elections, when there were so many young people who rallied for their candidate, whether it was a senator or congressman or congresswoman. It was hard to see so many people feel like they had canvassed and done everything and tried so hard. I saw a lot of young people’s hopes dashed. And I found that to be particularly tragic, because young people are the people who feel the worst effects of gun violence, and student loans and trying to figure out how to start their lives and how to pay their bills, and climate change, and are we going to war - all these horrific situations that we find ourselves facing right now."
