Pop superstar Taylor Swift announced her endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 Presidential Election in an Instagram post on Tuesday night. Swift praised Harris as a “steady-handed, gifted leader” and expressed her support for the causes she champions. The singer also commended Harris’ choice of Tim Walz as her running mate, highlighting his advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights and women’s reproductive rights.
Swift’s endorsement came after the high-stakes debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump, which the Harris campaign sees as a victory. The singer’s support was anticipated, as she previously endorsed President Joe Biden and Harris in the 2020 election.
In her post, Swift also addressed the spread of false images generated by artificial intelligence claiming she endorsed the Trump-Vance ticket. She emphasized the importance of being transparent about her voting plans to combat misinformation.
The endorsement has generated excitement among fans, with Swifties for Kamala expressing their support for the singer’s decision. Trump, when asked to comment on Swift’s endorsement, responded that he had no idea.
Swift’s endorsement is seen as significant given her large fan base and influence. In the past, the singer has been vocal about her political views, particularly in her documentary “Miss Americana.” Swift’s activism has activated waves of young voters, demonstrating her impact on American politics.
