Taylor Swift has officially endorsed Kamala Harris following her vice presidential debate with Donald Trump on ABC, calling the Democratic candidate a “talented and strong leader.”
Taylor Swift dramatically endorsed Kamala Harris just moments after the presidential debate in one of the biggest moments of the monumental night in the 2024 race.
The megastar made the bombshell announcement on Instagram after the ABC showdown where Trump accused migrants of eating pets and said Democrats wanted to ‘execute babies’ in the ninth month of pregnancy.
The world has been waiting for the 34-year-old Pennsylvania native to weigh in on the election after she backed Joe Biden in 2020.
And she chose the first meeting between Trump and Harris to make it clear she was backing the Democrats, and slammed the former president for ‘falsely’ claiming her support with a slew of AI images.
In an race that could be decided by tiny margins, Swift’s endorsement could have huge ramifications on the momentum with less than eight weeks until election day.
It capped off a positive night for Harris, who was widely declared the winner on the biggest night of her career.
The Trump campaign shrugged off the endorsement, claiming it’s further proof Swift is part of the ‘Democratic elite.’

Swift poked fun at Republicans in her endorsement. She included a photo of her cat, a knock at Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance who mocked ‘childless cat ladies.’ Harris supporters took the chant to heart and formed groups of cat ladies for Harris.
The singer said in her post that that she was disturbed by false reports she had endorsed Trump.
‘I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,’ she wrote.
She signed her post ‘childless cat lady.’
The Trump campaign shrugged off the endorsement.
‘It’s further evidence that the Democrat Party, unfortunately, is the party of the wealthy elite,’ Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told DailyMail.com.
‘And Taylor Swift may make great music, but she does not understand the struggles of everyday, hardworking families, and President Trump is speaking on behalf of those hardworking, struggling families who don’t get the privilege, like Taylor Swift, of living in a gated community, who need their local police to be funded, who want their Second Amendment right to defend themselves and their family because they don’t have armed security like Taylor Swift has.’
Swift has endorsed before. She backed Joe Biden in the 2020 election. And in an interview in 2019 with The Guardian, Swift said she supported Hilary Clinton over Trump in the 2016 election and accused Trump of treating the presidency like ‘an autocracy.’
