(DailyAnswer.org) – Pop star Taylor Swift publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for president shortly after Harris faced off against Donald Trump in a televised debate. Swift took to Instagram, where she has a massive following, to explain her decision and encourage others to vote.
“I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice,” Swift wrote to her 283 million followers. “Kamala Harris fights for the rights and causes I believe in, and I think she’s the right person to champion them.” She urged her fans to do their own research and make their own decisions. Swift especially reminded first-time voters to get registered in time and suggested that early voting is the easiest option. She even provided a link to help her followers find registration and early voting details.
Swift also signed off her post with a bit of humor, referring to herself as “Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady.” This was a playful response to a past comment by J.D. Vance, Trump’s running mate. Vance had once criticized “childless cat ladies,” suggesting that women like Swift were unhappy and trying to make the country as miserable as they supposedly were. Swift clearly didn’t let the comment bother her and turned it into a joke instead.
As expected, Swift’s post was a huge hit. Within minutes, it had over two million likes. The endorsement sparked a lot of attention, especially given Swift’s long-standing influence. Many of her fans see her as a role model, and her political endorsements often make waves.
Swift’s endorsement also came at a time when some of her fans were criticizing Brittany Mahomes, the wife of NFL star Patrick Mahomes, for showing support for Donald Trump. Brittany Mahomes, who is expecting her second child, had liked a post from Trump that highlighted his GOP platform. This gesture upset some Swifties, who have different political views.
As both sides gear up for the election, Swift’s endorsement adds yet another layer to an already highly charged political atmosphere.
