OK, sooo like, stop the presses! Taylor Swift has just officially endorsed Kamala Harris for president in the 2024 election, and I’m so here for it. Swiftie Nation is in a total frenzy right now, and honestly, who can blame them? I mean, it’s Taylor—obvi she’s got something to say. On September 11, Taylor went on Insta and X (formerly Twitter—ugh, so confusing) to drop the news. And let me just say, it was like, sooo major.
So, here’s what went down: after Kamala Harris totally handled herself in the debate against Donald Trump on September 10, Taylor was all, “I’m voting for Kamala Harris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.” Ummm, yes, queen! Taylor is all about keeping things calm and collected, which is, like, totally why she’s #TeamHarris. She said Kamala is a “steady-handed, gifted leader” and honestly, we love that for her.
Oh, and don’t even get me started on how she went on about Tim Walz—Kamala’s VP pick—being a total ally for women and LGBTQ+ rights. Taylor was like, “I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz,” and we’re just like, “Same, girl, same.”
AI Drama—Like, What Even?
But the tea doesn’t stop there! Taylor also spilled about some super shady AI-generated images that tried to claim she was, like, endorsing Donald Trump. Can you even?! These fake pics of her in, like, Trump merch started popping up on social media, and Taylor was not having it. She straight-up called it out in her post, saying, “Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site.” She went on to talk about how this whole AI thing is, like, super scary, especially when it’s used to spread misinformation.
And honestly, who can blame her for being freaked out? It’s giving major Black Mirror vibes, and I’m not OK with it. Taylor made it clear that she’s not about to let some AI nonsense confuse people about where she stands. She’s all about voting for Kamala Harris and wanted to be transparent about it, so people know the truth. Love the drama, but hate the fake news.
The “Cat Lady” Comeback—Meow!
Now, we need to talk about the best part: Taylor’s epic sign-off as “Yours truly, Childless Cat Lady.” Like, what a moment! So, here’s the backstory: JD Vance, Trump’s super cringe VP pick, made this weird comment about Taylor being a “childless cat lady”—which is like, such a tired insult, right? But Taylor, being the icon she is, decided to totally own it. She turned the whole thing around and signed her endorsement post as the “Childless Cat Lady,” complete with a cat emoji. It was everything.
It’s just soooo Taylor to flip the script like that. Like, imagine thinking you can insult someone who literally has three famous cats. Vance tried to throw shade, but Taylor turned it into a moment. Honestly, we stan. Yours truly, Childless Cat Lady is def going down in Swiftie history.
Taylor’s Political Glow-Up—We Love to See It
Now, I know what you’re thinking: since when did Taylor get all political? Well, it started in 2018 when she endorsed Democratic candidates in Tennessee and hasn’t stopped since. Fast forward to 2024, and she’s still out here fighting the good fight, encouraging her fans to vote and research their candidates. She’s even helping out with links to voter registration and early voting info. What a responsible queen.
And the thing is, Taylor’s fans—aka Swifties—are like, super engaged. They’re totally listening to her, and she knows it. That’s why this endorsement could be a huge deal for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Like, imagine all the young voters Taylor could sway! It’s no secret that her influence is massive—we’re talking 283 million Instagram followers here, people.
The Big Picture—Why It Matters
Taylor is bringing some serious star power to the 2024 election, and we love to see it. She’s using her platform to speak out on issues that matter—LGBTQ+ rights, women’s rights, and fighting misinformation. And, like, her fans are so here for it. She’s out here making sure everyone knows who she’s voting for and why. But at the same time, she’s all, “Do your own research and make your own choice,” which is honestly the kind of vibe we need.
It’s still a few weeks until Election Day, but Taylor’s voice could make a real difference. Whether it’s the endorsement, the clapback at AI, or the “Cat Lady” moment, Swift’s got people talking. And let’s be real, when Taylor talks, people listen.
So, will Kamala Harris and Tim Walz ride the Swiftie wave all the way to the White House? We’ll just have to wait and see. But for now, one thing’s for sure: the “Childless Cat Lady” is not messing around.
XOXO,
