Taylor Swift’s political compass is back in full swing, and her fans have wasted no time jumping on board—well, most of them, anyway. After setting the internet ablaze with her surprise endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris following Tuesday’s presidential debate, Swift, the pop queen-turned-political influencer, dropped a not-so-subtle hint on Instagram, declaring her support for Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.
The 34-year-old singer, famously private about certain parts of her life but public when it comes to making her opinions known, posted a picture alongside her famously fluffy Ragdoll cat Benjamin Button. This wasn’t just a random pet moment—it was a calculated clap-back. Taylor took a direct swipe at JD Vance, Donald Trump’s ever-controversial running mate, who recently took aim at women like her, caling them “childless cat ladies”.
In a world where celebrity endorsements have become par for the course in elections, Taylor’s support for Harris came as no surprise to those who’ve followed her political awakening. But it wasn’t just her fans who showed up to throw their “likes” at the post. Hollywood heavyweights like Jennifer Aniston, Blake Lively, Demi Lovato, and even Oprah were there to back her up.
In her now-viral post, Taylor didn’t mince words. “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,” she stated firmly, squashing any rumors that her political stance had softened just because she exchanged a few hugs with Brittany. She didn’t stop there—Taylor praised Harris for “fighting for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.” And in typical Taylor fashion, she layered her message with a touch of vulnerability, expressing support for reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ equality, and even IVF treatments.
Her fans? Over the moon. One particularly zealous Swiftie shared a GIF of Taylor cheering, captioning it with the hashtag #TaylorSwiftforHarrisWalz. Another fan took things a step further, humorously editing the infamous “disaster girl” meme, swapping the devious child with Taylor, as a house behind her burns. The internet’s Swiftie sector is nothing if not creative.
As expected, Taylor’s star-studded inner circle quickly threw their weight behind her endorsement. From Blake Lively to Jennifer Aniston to Chrissy Teigen, it was like the Hollywood glitterati had gathered for an impromptu Swift-themed voting rally. And they weren’t alone—Selena Gomez, Suki Waterhouse, Karlie Kloss, and even Lady Gaga joined the chorus of approval. In case you were wondering, it’s not just fans who see Taylor as a cultural and political force—it’s her peers, too.
