Singer Taylor Swift, considered one of the most influential women in the world, has expressed her support for Kamala Harris’ candidacy in the November US presidential election.
Taylor Swift is currently the most popular pop star in the world. Hundreds of thousands of fans attend each of her concerts. She is followed by 283 million people on Instagram, and 95.2 million on the X platform. It is no wonder that she is considered one of the most influential women in the world.
Yesterday’s debate between Kamala Harris a Donald Trump stirred up a lot of emotions, not only in the US but also all over the world. Taylor Swift also decided to address the political situation.
“Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is the time to check out how these candidates approach the issues that matter most to you. As a voter, I will watch and read everything they have to say about the policies and plans they have for this country,” she wrote on social media.
The artist also noted that she recently saw an AI-created photo that indicated she supported Donald Trump. “It heightened my concerns about AI and the dangers of spreading disinformation. I came to the conclusion that I needed to be transparent about my campaign plans. The easiest way to combat disinformation is to tell the truth,” she said.
In light of this, Swift has officially announced that she will be voting for Kamala Harris in the upcoming election. “I am voting for Kamala Harris because she is fighting for rights and issues that I believe need a warrior to fight for them. I think she is a confident, talented leader, and I believe that we can achieve so much in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos,” she stated.
She also praised the Democratic vice presidential candidate. Tima Walza“I am thrilled to have Tim Walz as my running mate, who has supported LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to control her own body for decades,” she wrote.
At the end of the post, she appealed to her fans to make a thoughtful choice and drew attention to what they must do to be able to vote in the elections.
She captioned her post: “Taylor Swift, childless with a cat.” In this way, she responded to the statement of the Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance’awho used the term, intended as an insult, against Democratic voters. The singer included a photo of herself with a cat in the post.
European Commission calls for help from Taylor Swift
The Vice-President of the European Commission has called on Taylor Swift to urge young people to take part in the European elections during her upcoming European tour.
Taylor Swift a polityka
Taylor Swift doesn’t usually meddle much in politics, even though many politicians would like her to. Earlier this year, European Commission Vice-President Margaritis Schinas appealed to the singer to urge young Europeans to vote in the European Parliament elections. “Nobody mobilizes young people better than other young people. They can do it better than the commissioners,” he said.
Last year in Argentina, Taylor Swift performed a few days before the presidential elections, in which the favorite was arousing great controversy Javier Miley. Her fans then organized a campaign in Buenos Aires, during which they hung up pink posters around the city with the slogan “Swiftie (that’s how Taylor Swift fans call themselves – ed.) doesn’t vote for Milei”. However, the campaign did not bring the expected result – Milei won the election anyway.
In turn, before last year’s parliamentary elections in Spain, the Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez during an appearance on one of the most popular podcasts among young people, he assured that he was a big fan of Taylor Swift, gave the titles of his favorite songs and demonstrated his knowledge of her career. In this way, he wanted to appeal to younger voters, which may have had an effect, because his party won, and he himself became prime minister again.
