Will Taylor Swift Choose Football Over a Kamala Harris Rally?
Tons of A-listers are throwing their support behind Kamala Harris in the final hours before Election Day. Oprah and Lady Gaga will be at a rally in Philadelphia, Christina Aguilera is performing at a rally in Las Vegas, and for better or worse, Katy Perry will (probably) be performing “Woman’s World” in Pittsburgh. Usher, Eminem, and Bruce Springsteen have all shown up at rallies across the country in recent weeks, and of course, Beyoncé graced the crowd with her presence at a recent Harris rally in Houston. That’s all great — but where is Taylor Swift?
The stars have aligned in a way where a Swift appearance the day before the election would make perfect sense. She played her final U.S. show of the Eras Tour last night in Indianapolis and has an open schedule until she performs in Toronto on November 14. Despite the twang on her early albums, Swift was raised in a Philadelphia suburb, giving her ties to one of the most important states in the election. If anyone could sway the white women of Bucks County to vote for Harris, it’s Swift. There’s no doubt in my mind that the Harris campaign tried their damndest to get her there, too.
However, it appears that Swift will not be making a last-minute appearance in support of the vice-president. The rally slates have been announced, and there aren’t even rumblings of a Swift appearance. The Daily Mail posits that this “snub” is due to the fact that Travis Kelce has a football game on Monday night and that Swift is choosing romance over country. Did y’all think she was joking when she called that album Lover?
Swift has already endorsed Harris — and you never know, maybe she’ll show up at Arrowhead Stadium tonight wearing Harris merch. It would be far from the wildest outfit she’s worn this season.
