Well, it’s about time, huh?
After a couple days of her fans really taking her to task for her silence this election, Taylor Swift finally stood up and used her platform. And…
She endorsed Kamala Harris!
In a lengthy post-debate post, the Shake It Off singer explained her decision to once again oppose Donald Trump. She began:
“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.”
But it wasn’t the debate which made her write this. No, it was Trump posting that AI thing saying she endorsed him! She explained:
“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.”
So then she revealed her true endorsement.

Taylor Swift stated unequivocally:
“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.”
Tay completed her post by encouraging everyone else to get active, too — including making sure you’re registered to vote!
“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.”
Oh, one more thing. She signed off with perfection…
“With love and hope,
Taylor Swift
Childless Cat Lady”
