In a move that had been anticipated for several weeks, American singer Taylor Swift announced that she will support the Democratic candidate for the presidency of the United States, Kamala Harris..
In a lengthy message on Instagram, the singer of songs such as Cruel Summer and Blank Space, said that she opted for Harris after doing exhaustive research and finding similarities in the issues that she also defends.
“I will be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election. I will be voting for Kamala Harris because she fights for the rights and causes that I believe need a warrior to lead them.
“I think she is a talented and thoughtful leader, and I think we can make much more progress in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was very impressed by her choice of running mate, “Tim Walz, who has fought for LGBTQ+ rights, in vitro fertilization and a woman’s right to decide over her own body for decades,” she said.
Swift warns about disinformation and fake news
In her statement, the popular singer-songwriter took the opportunity to warn her followers about the risk of misinformation, which is even more dangerous with the development of generative artificial intelligence.
“Recently, I learned that an AI-made version of ‘me’ supporting Donald Trump was posted on their site. This really heightened my fears about AI and the risks of spreading disinformation.
“This led me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my current plans for this election as a voter. The easiest way to combat misinformation is with the truth,” he said.
Swift also called on her followers to do thorough research on the proposals of both candidates for the presidency of the United States before deciding who to vote for.
