Taylor Swift says she will vote for Kamala Harris

WASHINGTON, USA – Singer Taylor Swift has endorsed Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris late on Tuesday, September 10. after the presidential debate between Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump.

Swift made the endorsement in a post on Instagram.

Swift wrote, “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.”

She added, “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.”

Swift’s post included an image of the singer with a cat and her statement was signed off as “childless cat lady” in an apparent dig at remarks previously made by Trump’s running mate JD Vance.

The post had been liked nearly 2 million times within 25 minutes.

Harris’ running mate Tim Walz was on air on MSNBC when the endorsement was announced and he was asked about it.

“Get things going,” Walz said in an appeal to “Swifties” on MSNBC when asked about her endorsement. “I am incredibly grateful,” Walz said. – with reports from Reuters/Rappler.com
