New Delhi: Minutes after she wrapped up her first debate against Republican rival Donald Trump, pop superstar Taylor Swift announced her endorsement of the Democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris on Tuesday night.
The endorsement aligns Harris with a singular force in the world of music, offering to bolster her support among younger and female voters.
Calling herself a “Childless Cat Lady,” a term used by Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, to disparage women without children, Swift announced her support in an Instagram post featuring a photo of her posing with a cat in her arms.
Swift is voting for Harris “because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” she wrote. “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.”
Swift backed President Joe Biden and Harris in 2020 and has throughout her career made a handful of other public statements in favour of Democratic politicians.
