Taylor Swift Rallies Millions with Kamala Harris Endorsement

Pop megastar Taylor Swift has stirred the political waters by endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president, achieving over 9 million 'likes' on Instagram. Among the celebrities engaging with her post were Jennifer Aniston, Caitlin Clark, and Selena Gomez. Swift, 34, urged her 283 million followers to register and vote in the upcoming election.

Her enthusiastic endorsement was followed by a spike in voter registration, with the U.S. General Services Administration noting 337,826 hits from a custom URL Swift shared. 'I'm voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,' Swift posted, praising Harris as a 'steady-handed, gifted leader.'

Swift's post included a playful jab at Trump's running mate, JD Vance, by dubbing herself a 'Childless Cat Lady.' Responses from figures like Aubrey Plaza also echoed her endorsement. Meanwhile, Trump's dismissal of Swift's political stance as too liberal and a potential risk to her popularity adds another layer to the ongoing political discourse.
