It’s heartening and admirable to see so many of these groups organize for the election and in such a grassroots kind of way.

Swift’s actual endorsement would be very helpful. What is she waiting for?

Cool – so when is Swift herself going to actually endorse?
Why wait?

What about Taylor? She needs to step up and put some skin in the game.  Â
I don’t have respect for her staying silent in order to protect her brand while letting her fans do the work for her. Â
Why call her an influencer if she doesn’t use her power to influence, but instead uses it to to make money for herself.Â
Everybody says, “it’s coming.” But her home state of Pennsylvania starts voting in less than three weeks and voter registration deadlines are fast approaching in every other state.  Â
I don’t think it’s coming. Â

Well we swifties ain’t brainless bigots and certainly don’t want a convicted felon as the president, so most of us wholeheartedly support Kamala Harris.

Apparently you folks have discounted the “Hulkies for Trump” group that could end up balancing this out /s

This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.newsweek.com/taylor-swift-swifties-kamala-harris-election-2024-1944548) reduced by 81%. (I’m a bot)

> This Tuesday, "August" 27, the Swifties are looking toward the "End Game," and are trying to elect "The 1" to push for "Change" with a Swifties for Kamala campaign that organisers think is sure to be "The Best Day" and "Better than Revenge," hoping to not say "Could've, Would've, Should've" in November.
> Swifties for Kamala, a grassroots group of Taylor Swift fans working to get Vice President Kamala Harris elected, is hosting a kickoff call on Tuesday at 7 p.m. The virtual event will have special guest speakers, but the coalition said they don't expect a Swift-appearance.
> Within a week, Swifties for Kamala had tens of thousands of followers on social media – the Swifties 4 Kamala TikTok account has almost 122,000 followers now.
Should be an interesting event with lots of celebrities.

Dont care about her music, but if she decides to endorse Harris and it results favorably in the voting booth, then ill be a kinda-swifty

I can only imagine the attempts, bribes, full blown AstroTurf schemes by monied republican agencies to get her fan club on the GOP side. I hope it’s like when SMU gave Tony Dorset a Corvette, and then he committed to Pitt. SMU wanted the vette back and Tony said, haha. No.

Fuck Taylor Swift, and all other people of her status who’ve done fuck all with their influence and power. As it relates to this election, they’re all complicit in their silence.
It shouldn’t come as any mystery to the general public that these people don’t give a shit about you or about the election. Their lives will not be changed in the least, regardless of who wins.
Ya’ll need to pull your heads out and stop idolizing the wealthy. These people are not your friends and do. Not. Care. About. Us.

Meanwhile Taylor Swift is fine with Trump faking her endorsement. Her silence is compliance.

I gotta be honest, the silence and then the update on Brittany Mahomes being MAGA has be a bit pessimistic about her potential endorsement. Not that I think Taylor Swift or Travis Kelce support Trump or anything, but this apparent political culture of the Kansas City Chiefs organization has been feeling like they will remain silent. It’s very unfortunate.

If only the actual artist supported Harris. 👀 Her bff Mahomes was just caught liking pro Trump posts.

The Democrats say the republicans are the party of the rich. However if you consider that every fucking rich and wealthy celebrity, is voting for them. Cuz they won’t care if the economy plummets and goes to shut. Guys I swear wake fucking up, fuck yourself but atleast care about your parents and their wellbeing. Please vote accordingly and not via color!

If Taylor Swift can get her fans to turn out and vote, that’s awesome!
It would be awesome if her help caused some historically red states to flip (like Texas).

Careful not to raise too much money on twitter otherwise Rocket Karen will ban you.

Unfamiliar with pretty much all of her music beyond a few songs, but I like this and hope Swift has a major positive impact for Harris.

Flashback to John Kerry and Swifties(boaters that is). Took a minute to realize that it was refering to something else.,

Not expecting an endorsement although I’m a fan of her music, at the end of the day though she’ll do what’s best for her as billionaires always do, Michael Jordan said it best.
