after the first round of debates between the two parties' presidential candidates, on the evening of september 10, local time, american music queen taylor swift announced her support for democratic candidate and vice president harris, while clarifying rumors that she supported republican candidate and former president trump. last month, trump posted several pictures claiming that "swift and her fans support trump", which were later confirmed to be generated by ai.
"like many of you, i watched tonight's debate," swift said in a post on instagram, where she has more than 280 million followers, saying now was a "great time" to make a decision about which candidate to support.
swift mentioned trump's false claim that he had her endorsement, saying it made her aware of the dangers of ai and misinformation, and reminded her that she needed to be "very transparent" about the 2024 us presidential election.
"i will be voting for kamala harris and tim waltz in the 2024 presidential election," she wrote.
swift explained that she believed harris was "fighting for rights and causes" and was a "warrior," a "steady and talented leader"; her deputy, waltz, had been fighting for lgbt and women's rights for decades. she said: "i did my research and i have made my choice. you do your own research and make your own choice."
finally, swift called herself a "childless cat lady" and ended the post with a photo of herself and her beloved cat.
swift posted a message to express support for harris
vance, trump's deputy and republican vice presidential candidate, made a "childless cat-loving lady" remark in 2021, saying that the united states is actually ruled by the democratic party, corporate oligarchs and a group of "childless cat-loving ladies" who "are miserable about their lives and the choices they've made, and want to make the rest of the country miserable." recently, this remark has been "dug up" and caused controversy in the united states.
cnn stated that swift's latest statement gave harris "vital support" and ended months of speculation about whether the american "superstar" would participate in this year's presidential election.
swift has not commented on this year's election before, but she expressed her support for biden and harris during the 2020 presidential campaign. in october 2020, she tweeted that she explained her support for biden and harris in an interview with v magazine. she wrote at the time: "i will yell at the tv to express my support for harris."
it is worth mentioning that whether swift will publicly support harris in the 2024 general election has become one of the focuses of attention of both parties in the united states.
"swift is the most influential of all celebrities, so much so that she can effectively use her huge popularity to influence areas such as the economy, legislation, film production and album release." the us media vanity fair published an article on july 22, saying that in 2020, she publicly opposed trump many times and supported abortion and lgbt rights; in 2023, she spoke out for voter registration and promoted about 32,000 new voters.
the article wrote that, therefore, the world (especially democratic organizers) is waiting with bated breath, expecting swift to project her enormous cultural influence on harris, the democratic party's rising star.
