In a recent Instagram post, Taylor Swift announced her support for Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 Presidential Election. The pop star praised Harris for her leadership and ability to champion causes she believes in. Swift also lauded Harris’ selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, citing his support for LGBTQ+ rights and women’s reproductive rights.
Swift also took a jab at the Republican ticket by signing “Childless Cat Lady,” a phrase that has caused controversy for Trump’s running mate, JD Vance. Swift addressed false AI-generated images promoted by Trump that falsely suggested she had endorsed him, leading her to clarify her voting plans. She urged her fans to research the candidates and issues before making their own choices.
This endorsement from Swift is notable as she had previously stayed out of political endorsements earlier in her career. In 2018, she endorsed Democratic Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen, and supported President Biden in the 2020 election. Harris’ running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, expressed gratitude for Swift’s endorsement and encouraged her fans to get involved in the campaign.
Swift’s announcement has sparked discussion and speculation in the political sphere. This move signals her increasing engagement in political matters and aligning herself with candidates that she believes in. As the 2024 Presidential Election approaches, Swift’s endorsement could have an impact on mobilizing voters and shaping the political landscape.
