Maddow Interrupts Live Interview With Walz to Tell Him About Taylor Swift Endorsement
Tim Walz apparently found out that he and Kamala Harris had received Taylor Swift’s endorsement while he was in the middle of a live television interview Tuesday night.
The Minnesota governor was on MSNBC reacting to Harris’ first debate with Donald Trump when host Rachel Maddow said she’d just been handed something as they were talking. “I don’t think you know about this,” Maddow said. “But this was just posted online by a woman you might have heard of whose name is Taylor Swift.”
Maddow then proceeded to read the statement Swift had posted on her Instagram account along with a picture of her holding Benjamin Button, one of her three cats. The pop music icon wrote that she’d been concerned by AI-generated images purporting to show her endorsing Trump’s campaign, clarifying that she would actually be casting her vote for Harris.
