The “Fortnight” singer endorsed the Democratic nominee in a post on Instagram moments after Harris' first debate with Donald Trump wrapped up.
"Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight," Swift wrote. "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. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country."
She continued:
>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.She signed the post “childless cat lady,” a clear reference to controversial remarks from Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance.
