Look What You Made Me Do. It seems that last night’s debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris convinced one of America’s biggest icons to nail their colours to the mast. Fresh from conquering Wembley on her ‘Eras’ mega-tour, Taylor Swift has now thrown her lot in with the Democrat Vice-President. Writing on Instagram, the megastar shared her support for Harris, saying that 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,’ the Shake It Off singer wrote. She then signed off her post to her 283 million followers by referring to herself as ‘Childless Cat Lady’ along with a picture of her holding one of her beloved cats. That of course is a reference to JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, who in 2021 complained that the U.S. was being run by Democrats, corporate oligarchs and ‘a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives.’ Talk about Bad Blood…
Swift did of course back Biden in 2020 – but in a tight race this year, every vote counts. Trump and Vance will just be hoping that her endorsement has less effect than than the impact of her ‘Eras’ tour, which literally caused small earthquakes because of the huge crowd sizes. As Swift herself might say: ‘Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?’
