In a recent Instagram post following the first presidential debate, global pop star Taylor Swift announced her endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president in the 2024 election. Swift praised Harris as a “steady-handed, gifted leader” who fights for the rights and causes she believes in. She also commended Harris’s selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate for his support of LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body.
Swift’s endorsement comes after she denounced AI-generated images promoted by former President Donald Trump, suggesting she had endorsed him, leading Swift to clarify her actual political stance. The singer urged her fans to research the candidates and issues before making a decision and emphasized the importance of transparency in her endorsement.
This endorsement marks a shift for Swift, who had previously avoided political endorsements but publicly supported Democratic candidates in recent years. Governor Walz expressed gratitude for Swift’s support, encouraging her fans to visit KamalaHarris.com and get involved in the campaign.
Swift’s endorsement has sparked discussion in the political realm, as she continues to use her platform to advocate for causes she believes in. Her endorsement of Harris reflects her commitment to leadership that promotes calm and progress in the country.
