Taylor Swift: (00:08)
I just want to say that this is a fan-voted award. I first want to say thank you to the fans, because in this video several points were made, so you voting for this video means that you want a world where we’re all treated equally under the law 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. I want to thank everyone who signed that petition, because 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.

I love my co-executive producer, Todrick Hall. I love my … I’m so grateful to my co-director Drew Kirsch. Thank you so much, and thank you to the fans for everything you do for us. My cast [inaudible 00:01:37] lives so authentically. Thank you for being the example that you are. I love you guys so much. Thank you. MTV for lifting up this point in this video. We love you.
