Singer Taylor Swift has urged her millions of fans to get behind the U.S. women's soccer team in their fight for equal pay, saying the world champions had taken a "historic stand" for equality.
The American singer-songwriter said that discrimination on pay is "happening everywhere" as she accepted the inaugural Teen Choice Icon Award Sunday.
Alex Morgan, co-captain of the U.S. women's team, presented Swift, 29, with the award.
"While they were winning the World Cup, they were also taking a historic stand in terms of gender equality, gender pay gap," Swift said.
"Please, please, please support [Morgan] and her teammates, because this isn't over yet.
