‘Childless Cat Lady’ Swift Endorses Harris for President

Taylor Swift has publicly endorsed a candidate for the 2024 presidential election, and her choice might give Donald Trump some pause, especially after the AI-generated images of her he previously shared.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Swift urged her followers to register to vote and announced her support for Vice President Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. This endorsement came right after the high-profile debate between Trump and Harris in Philadelphia.

Swift expressed her concerns about misinformation and AI in her post, revealing that she was disturbed by fake images of her endorsing Trump. She emphasized the importance of truth in combating false narratives and declared her intention to vote for Harris, whom she praised as a "steady-handed, gifted leader" who contrasts sharply with Trump.

Swift also commended Walz for his long-standing advocacy on issues like LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and women's rights. She encouraged first-time voters to register and vote early, offering resources in her Instagram story.

The reaction to Swift's endorsement has been notable. Tim Walz expressed gratitude during an MSNBC interview, calling Swift’s support "eloquent" and vital. The post received likes from numerous celebrities, including Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey, and Lady Gaga.

Alyssa Farah Griffin of The View highlighted the impact of Swift’s endorsement, referencing Trump’s previous derogatory comments about single women.

Swift's endorsement is a rare political statement from the pop star, who has generally kept a low profile in political matters. Her social media influence has proven significant, with her recent call to register to vote leading to over 35,000 new registrations, according to NPR.

Entertainment Weekly has reached out to Trump’s team for their reaction to Swift's endorsement and the AI-generated images issue.
