Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris after debate

Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris. The musician’s endorsement, which had been eagerly anticipated, was signed “Childless Cat Lady.”

Pop superstar Taylor Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential candidacy Tuesday night after the high-stakes debate.

“I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,” Swift said in a post on Instagram.

“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.”

 

“I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice,” the Grammy-winning artist added. “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.”

Swift, 34, signed her post “Childless Cat Lady” — a reference to rhetoric used by Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, to describe women who do not have kids.

The endorsement had been eagerly anticipated. She threw her support behind President Joe Biden and Harris during the 2020 presidential election.

Swift once shied away from weighing in on American politics. But with the release of her documentary “Miss Americana” in 2020, she became more vocal. The movie chronicled her behind-the-scenes fight to publicly denounce Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., then a member of the House. She endorsed Blackburn’s Senate opponent, Phil Bredesen.

Blackburn ultimately won the race, but Swift’s post on Instagram encouraging people to register to vote activated waves of young people, Vote.org said at the time.
