As a lifelong Swiftie who has witnessed the evolution of Taylor Swift from a country crooner to a pop sensation and now a political powerhouse, I am nothing short of ecstatic about her endorsement for Kamala Harris! Her decision to publicly support Harris demonstrates not only her growth as an artist but also her commitment to using her platform for good.
The Swifties for Kamala coalition are “overjoyed” by Taylor Swift’s public endorsement of Kamala Harris as the presidential candidate.
On Wednesday, Taylor Swift expressed her support for Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign via an Instagram post, following the presidential debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump on Tuesday.
Just like many others, she tuned into the debate tonight. If you haven’t yet, now could be an excellent opportunity to delve deeper into the issues being discussed and see where each candidate stands on matters close to your heart. As a responsible voter, I always strive to gather as much information as possible about their proposed policies and visions for our nation.
Lately, I discovered that an AI representation of me was incorrectly promoting Donald Trump’s presidential campaign on his site. This incident stirred up my concerns regarding AI and the potential harm of spreading false information. As a result, I feel it’s crucial to be completely transparent about my genuine intentions as a voter during this election. The most effective way to counter misinformation is by standing firmly with the truth.
Swift then shared she would be casting her vote for Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 election.
The supporters of ‘Swifties for Kamala’ (S4K) are ecstatic about Taylor Swift backing Kamala Harris as president, along with Tim Walz as vice president. As we had anticipated, it was only a matter of time before Taylor endorsed, given her beliefs closely mirror Harris and our shared community. We can’t wait to witness the energy and support she will generate for this campaign!
The coalition has pointed out that since its establishment, it has accumulated more than 3,500 active volunteers, garnered over 280,000 followers on social media, collected funds exceeding $150,000 for the Harris campaign, and motivated approximately 90,000 people to verify their voter registration.
As a gaming community, we’ve teamed up with Shop Social Goods and together, we’ve managed to contribute more than $13,000 towards voter registration initiatives! It feels great knowing that our passion for gaming can make a difference.
We’re optimistic that Taylor’s message will spark enthusiasm and motivate more individuals to support Vice President Harris’s election. Over the years, Taylor has instilled in us Swifties the courage to be bold and to express ourselves effectively, and we can’t wait to build on this momentum as we approach the final stretch of this crucial vote. We’ll keep energizing our volunteers and engaging our community through voter engagement initiatives.

During the Harris-Trump presidential debate on the same night, Swift is set to announce her Harris-Walz endorsement. This could make it challenging to identify the impact of Swift’s influence, given that her political statement will be made during a crucial moment in the election process. In 2018, Swift’s initial public political endorsement, which supported two Democratic candidates in Tennessee, sparked a significant surge in voter registrations, as reported by Vote.org at the time.
Currently, at the time this story is being published, approximately 1.5 million of Taylor Swift’s 283 million followers have liked her endorsement post. As of Wednesday morning, all the Kamala Harris-Walz friendship bracelets inspired by Taylor Swift had sold out on KamalaHarris.com. Each purchase contributes to a donation for the Harris Victory Fund.
During his interview on Fox & Friends on Wednesday, Trump discussed the significant backing he received from Swift.
Trump stated that he wasn’t a fan of Taylor Swift. He felt it was only a matter of time before she wouldn’t support Biden. After all, she’s quite liberal, and she usually backs Democrats. However, her decision might negatively impact her popularity in the marketplace.
Later, Trump commended Brittany Mahomes, spouse of Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes and soccer player, for showing appreciation towards one of his posts on X (previously Twitter). Notably, Travis Kelce, Swift’s partner, is a tight end for the Chiefs.
