Kamala Harris on Being Endorsed by Taylor Swift: “Proud to Have Her Support”

In a high-profile moment ahead of the 2024 presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris received a major endorsement from pop superstar Taylor Swift. Harris expressed her gratitude and admiration for Swift’s decision, stating:

“I am very proud to have the support of Taylor Swift. She’s an incredible artist, and I really respect the courage that she has had in her career to stand up for what she believes is right.”

Swift, who has become increasingly vocal about political and social issues, took to Instagram to publicly share her support for Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. In a heartfelt letter, Swift urged her millions of followers to do their research, pointing to the importance of being informed in an era rife with misinformation. She also addressed a recent false endorsement of Donald Trump, clarifying her stance and reinforcing her commitment to supporting candidates who reflect her values.

“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,” Swift wrote in her post. “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.”

Swift’s message further praised Walz for his long-standing advocacy on issues such as LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive freedoms, and healthcare access, aligning these priorities with her own values. She concluded her post by encouraging her fans, particularly first-time voters, to register and vote early, linking resources for voter registration in her Instagram story.

Swift’s endorsement is expected to bring significant attention to Harris’s campaign, especially among younger voters and women, demographics that have been strong supporters of the pop icon.

As the 2024 election season intensifies, Swift’s political engagement continues to show the growing impact of celebrities using their platforms to influence important political discussions. For Harris, the endorsement adds to her momentum, and as she stated, reflects the shared commitment to fighting for justice and equality.

With the backing of one of the world’s most influential artists, Harris’s campaign could see a boost in outreach, particularly with younger and socially conscious voters.
