    “As Kamala Harris continues to lie about her values and policies, voters will realize they knew she was trouble when she walked in,” a spokesman for Mr. Trump, Steven Cheung, said in a statement that lifted lyrics from Ms. Swift’s songs.

    “Americans have bad blood with Kamala Harris’ radical agenda, and that is why Swifties for Trump is a movement that grows bigger every single day.”

    Lol.

    Also taylor this is why you need to Speak Now. Yes I too am quoting taylor swift now.

  2. Think I read somewhere that a Taylor Swift endorsement is worth between 9% to 15% bump in votes which is bonkers!

    Leave her alone, she’s working. She has her own way of expressing herself unlike her nasty ass nemesis Kanye.

  4. I can see her simply wear a Harris shirt at her next football game and the NFL will have to promote it on socials

  5. She isn’t going to say anything – if she was going to, she would have by now.
    She’ll make some vague comment on insta about how everyone should vote and leave it vague.
    Sad.

  6. Pathetic she hasn’t spoken our yet.  Or is she taking the Michael Jordan approach because Republicans buy sneakers too?

    Look who swift hangs out with…. Die the hero, or see yourself become the enemy.

    All she has to do is say she’s voting for Harris a couple of times and all her fans that look up to her of voting age will have a national spotlight. She can literally empower an entire demographic. I hope she’s saving her major endorsements for the right time

  10. This really needs to become a rallying cry, or a hashtag, or a slogan:

    **’Swifties — Stand Back and Stand By!!’**

    Pass it on.

  11. I wouldn’t expect anything big from her. After the Vienna fiasco, she does not want to do anything that would endanger her fans at shows. She’s staying out of US politics this cycle. The tour ends in December, long after election day.

    … has *she* endorsed Harris yet tho? Seems like the thing to do… weird she’s so silent considering.

  13. He continues to make the most idiotic blunders that just rally more people against him. Knowing Trump, he probably thought it was a real endorsement.

    Trump doesn’t have the intelligence or awareness to realise pissing off Taylor and the army of swifites would be the end of his presidential hopes, but it fills me with joy to know they all his advisers and other Republicans would absolutely be aware of this fact, and they they must enter a state of horrifiic panic everytime trump brings her up or posted that AI shit.

    I understand she didn’t endorse a candidate until October last time, but I find it extremely odd she hasn’t endorsed one by now. Like this election has way more at stake than the last one.

    While I do think Swift could address the issue, I think people saying it’s irresponsible for her not need to take a step back. She’s a human, too. I wouldn’t blame her at all if she didn’t want to get directly involved.

    Just because she’s a celebrity doesn’t mean she has a responsibility to anything. No one cares that X movie star didn’t endorse a candidate (yes, I’m aware it’s because Taylor Swift was used for AI).

  17. It’s really embarrassing to me that she hasn’t said a damn thing about this. Silence speaks volumes.

    And yet Taylor stays silent. It’s almost like she does support trump. Nah it’s not like she was the poster child for white nationalists several years running

  19. What is she waiting for? Just endorse her already. Same goes for Beyoncé. Don’t they realize they can actually make a real difference here? Kind of cowardly.
