At Monday night's VMAs Taylor Swift used her acceptance speech to call out the White House and champion LGBTQ rights.
In her acceptance speech for Music Video of the Year, Swift said: "In this video, several points were made, so you voting for this video means you want a world where we’re all treated equally," adding that it was "regardless of who we love, regardless of how we identify."
"At the end of this video, there was a petition and there still is a petition for the Equality Act which basically just says we all deserve equal rights under the law," Swift announced.
"It now has half a million signatures which is five times the amount that it would need to warrant a response from the White House,” the 'Bad Blood' singer said pointedly while motioning towards her watch.
Receiving the award Swift was joined onstage by stars from the video, including Todrick Hall and drag queen Jade Jolie.
Though when actor John Travolta gave Swift the award, it appears that he first mistook her for Jolie, who starred in Swift's 'You Need to Calm Down' music video.
This wasn't the first time Travolta made a faux pas at an awards show. He famously called Broadway star Idina Menzel "Adele Dazeem" at the Academy Awards and even joked onstage that he didn't want that to happen again.
Following Swift's speech her fans took to Twitter to call for a response to the petition. On Friday the star released her seventh album 'Lover.'
