 Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris after heated presidential debate

Investing.com-- Pop music megastar Taylor Swift said she will vote for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, calling her a “warrior” for the rights and causes she believes in.

In an Instagram post made shortly after a fiery debate between Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump, Swift told her more than 280 million followers that she endorsed Harris, and was also supportive of her running mate Tim Walz.

“I think (Harris) 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,” Swift said.

Swift, who is the 14th-highest-selling music artist of all time, and who was last year declared as a billionaire, said she had made her choice after doing her own research. She expressed concerns over an artificial intelligence-generated likeness of her recently expressing support for Trump, which she said pushed her to be “transparent” over her plans to cast her vote.

She signed off her post as a “childless cat lady,” a clear dig at Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance’s usage of the term to refer to prominent Democrats.

Swift endorsement of Harris comes after fiery debate

Swift’s post came just hours after the conclusion of a heated presidential debate between Harris and Trump, where the two constantly veered off topic to take personal jabs at each other.

Analysts saw Harris performing substantially better than Biden had during a disastrous debate in June.

But the debate also presented a hotly-contested 2024 presidential race, with less than two months left to the ballot.
