When Taylor Swift speaks, the world listens. We are in that group of people that listen.
We know that Swift speaks at the right time and speaks when she has something to say. She makes sure that she’s done her research. She makes sure that what she is saying is something that needs to be said.
And after last night’s Presidential Debate, it was definitely the right time to speak. The superstar took to social media and she endorsed Kamala Harris for President. Regardless of what you think of Taylor Swift, this is a big deal.
“Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most,” Taylor started her Instagram post. “As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country.”
She continued, “Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.”
And then added, “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because 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. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”
Before finishing off with, “I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.”
“With love and hope,” She signed her post, “Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady”
