Taylor Swift has endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 US presidential race.
In a post on Instagram, Swift wrote that she had watched tonight's debate between Vice President Harris and Republican leader Donald Trump. Swift wrote of Harris, "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."
She added that she decided to speak out in part because Trump had posted AI images suggesting that Swift was endorsing Trump. Read her full statement below.
She signed the post "Childless Cat Lady" — a dig at something Trump's running mate, JD Vance, previously said about Harris.
