Taylor Swift Supports Kamala Harris’ Campaign
Taylor Swift is the latest celebrity to show her support for Kamala Harris’ US presidential campaign. The influential singer declared her endorsement on social media after Tuesday evening’s televised debate.
Swift wrote to her 283 million followers on Instagram, “Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country.”
The pop superstar continued by mentioning AI-generated propaganda that falsely claimed she was supporting Donald Trump’s campaign. “Recently, I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth,” she explained.
The 34-year-old then revealed who had her vote by writing, “I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”
She encouraged her followers to conduct their own research and to register for election day. “I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice,” she asserted. “Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first-time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.”
The Pennsylvania resident signed off with, “With love and hope, Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady.” This possibly referred to JD Vance’s previous comments about childless women.
Swift’s post included a picture of herself holding her cat Benji.
