In June, Swift made a generous donation to GLAAD while also writing to urge Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander to support the Equality Act, which would protect LGBTQ Americans from discrimination in employment, housing, and other public accommodations.

Thank you @taylorswift for kicking off #PrideMonth by speaking out for the Equality Act and by making a generous donation to support our work to accelerate acceptance for LGBTQ people. We 💙 you. Follow Taylor’s lead at the link in our bio.

A post shared by GLAAD (@glaad) on

The Equality Act passed the House of Representatives earlier this month, but has yet to be voted on by the Senate.

According to GLAAD, LGBTQ+ Americans receive zero non-discrimination protections in 26 states.

In an Instagram Live, Swift shared on Thursday that \"Lover\" is available for preorder now and will be released on Aug. 23. The significance of that date? August is the eighth month, and 8 + 2 + 3 = Taylor’s lucky number, 13.

“I’m obnoxious,” Swift joked.

\"Lover\" will have 18 tracks, the most Swift has ever put on a single album. There will also be four deluxe editions available at Target, each with unique content.
