Global pop icon Taylor Swift has endorsed Kamala Harris for President of the United States, expressing her support on Instagram shortly after a televised debate between the presidential candidates.
Swift, who had remained silent on the 2024 race until now, praised Harris as a “steady-handed, gifted leader” and voiced her support for Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, in the upcoming election.
“I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” Swift wrote. She encouraged her fans to conduct their own research before deciding how to vote but made her position clear to combat misinformation, particularly after AI-generated images falsely claimed she was endorsing Donald Trump.
This endorsement follows Swift’s history of political engagement, which began in 2018 when she first voiced her political views publicly. Since then, she has supported Democratic candidates and causes, including LGBTQ+ rights and women’s reproductive rights. Swift’s influence is considerable, with millions of social media followers and a dedicated fan base. Her endorsement of Harris is expected to have a significant impact on the Democratic campaign.
