Pop superstar Taylor Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential candidacy, citing Harris as a “steady-handed, gifted leader.” Swift expressed her support for Harris and her running mate Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election, emphasizing the importance of voting for candidates who align with one’s beliefs. Swift encouraged her followers to do their own research and register to vote early. She also addressed the spread of misinformation, specifically images falsely suggesting she endorsed the Trump-Vance ticket.
Swift’s endorsement was a surprise to the Harris campaign but was seen as a significant victory due to her ability to attract support. Swift previously endorsed President Joe Biden and Harris during the 2020 election and has become more vocal about her political views in recent years. The singer’s public denouncement of Sen. Marsha Blackburn in her documentary “Miss Americana” showed her growing involvement in politics.
Despite facing backlash and misinformation, Swift remains committed to promoting the truth and transparency in her political advocacy. Fans of Swift, known as Swifties for Kamala, expressed excitement over her endorsement and the momentum it would bring to the campaign. The endorsement reflects Swift’s ongoing efforts to use her platform to encourage civic engagement and advocate for causes she believes in.
