Taylor Swift has formally endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential election, following a high-profile discussion between Harris and former President Donald Trump.
Swift who has 283 million Instagram followers, commended Harris as a “steady-handed, gifted leader” and expressed her support for both Harris and her running companion, Tim Walz.
Swift’s endorsement was announced with a touching Instagram post. “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,” Swift declared.
She expressed her confidence in Harris’ capacity to champion key causes and provide stability to the country. She went on and praised Harris’ choice of Walz, citing his longstanding support for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and women’s reproductive rights.
The Grammy-winning performer used her platform to encourage voter registration and early voting, particularly among first-time voters. “Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make,” Swift advised.

She added a personal touch by sharing a photo with her cat, Benjamin Button, as a nod to recent comments made by Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, who disparaged women without children.
Swift’s endorsement has caught the Harris campaign by surprise, according to NBC News sources. The campaign sees the singer’s endorsement as a big boost, boosting Harris’ appeal and influence.
Swift’s endorsement is consistent with her previous political statements, including her support for President Joe Biden and Harris in the 2020 race.
Swift’s political voice has become stronger following the release of her 2020 documentary “Miss Americana,” which pointed out her advocacy against certain political personalities. Although her support did not influence the outcome of the Tennessee Senate race, it did energize many young voters.
Swift addressed misinformation in her Instagram post. She decried the use of artificial intelligence to generate bogus endorsements, particularly those that erroneously depicted her as supporting Trump’s candidacy. “It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation,” Swift stated, underscoring the importance of transparency in combating false narratives.
The support has sparked excitement among her fans, including a group called Swifties for Kamala. Co-founder Irene Kim expressed her pleasure over Swift’s support for the campaign. “We’ve had no doubt that Taylor would endorse at the right time and are excited about the momentum she will bring to this campaign,” Kim said.
