Taylor Swift Endorses Kamala Harris in 2024 Election, Shades Vance With Picture of Herself With Cat
Taylor Swift has endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election. Swift’s message carried a bit of shade, as she shared an image of herself with a cat—a jab at Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, who referred to women without children as “childless cat ladies.”
Swift, who is 34, does not have any children.
According to NBC News, the singer’s endorsement came as a surprise to Harris and her team. Swift, who supported the Biden-Harris ticket during the 2020 election, had not openly endorsed either 2024 presidential candidate since then.
Her message of support for the Democratic nominee came Tuesday night after Harris and Donald Trump finished their 1-hour-and-45-minute-long presidential debate.
Read Taylor Swift’s endorsement, which garnered over 2.6 million likes in less than an hour since going live, in full below:
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.
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.
I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. 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. 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.
With love and hope,
Taylor Swift

Outside of politics, Swift made headlines earlier this week when she and Brittany Mahomes put an end to speculation about a rift between them by sharing a hug at the US Open.
