Taylor Swift Fans Spot Kamala Harris Silhouette on Instagram Post, Prompting Endorsement Speculation
An endorsement from Taylor Swift – currently at the height of her fame and with influence over millions of young voters – would be huge for the Harris/Walz campaign.
Social media users and fans of the pop megastar Taylor Swift are speculating whether the singer has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 U.S. election in a recent Instagram post.
Swift, who is currently on her European leg of the globally successful and record-breaking Eras Tour, posted a collection of pH๏τos honoring her shows in Warsaw, Poland, late Tuesday night. On the seventh slide, a silhouette of what looks like Harris is waving behind Swift on stage.
“It really feels like it should be a bigger deal that Taylor Swift left a shadow of Kamala on her Instagram post but I don’t really see anyone talking about it,” one X user wrote. Another said: “[Swift] is lowkey endorsing @KamalaHarris on @instagram. No public statement yet, besides this pic”.
On Tuesday, Harris announced her running mate for the presidential election, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The pair appeared at a Philadelphia rally last night, where Walz took the opportunity to repeat his label of his counterpart JD Vance as “weird”. “I’ll just say it,” Walz posted on X. “Donald Trump and JD Vance are creepy and, yes, weird. We are not going back.”
The Harris campaign said it raised over $20 million after revealing Walz as her VP pick. As she begins to edge ahead in the national polls, an endorsement from Swift – currently at the height of her fame and with influence over millions of young voters – would be huge.
Swift has yet to definitively confirm her endorsement of Harris but fans are now wondering whether she will reveal hints as Harris and Walz begin their joint campaign trail. In 2020, the star endorsed Biden. She told V Magazine: “I will proudly vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in this year’s presidential election.”
The popstar is widely regarded as a liberal and has previously spoken out about being pro-choice, an advocate of gender equality, an ally of LGBTQ+ rights, and pro-gun control.
