Pop superstar Taylor Swift shared her voting plans with her 283 million Instagram followers Tuesday night after the Trump-Harris presidential debate.
"Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven't already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country."
Swift went on to detail her concern about AI-generated images she claims depict her endorsing Harris's opponent Donald Trump.
"Recently I was made aware that AI of 'me' falsely endorsing Donald Trump's presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth."
"I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I'm voting for @kamalaharris because 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. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman's right to her own body for decades."
Swift concludes her post with a dig at Trump's VP candidate, J.D. Vance, who's spoken of 'childless cat ladies' on the campaign trail.
"With love and hope,
Taylor Swift
Childless Cat Lady"
Donald Trump is responding to Taylor Swift announcing she will vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.
In a post-debate interview, Trump seemingly referenced Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, saying, "Well, I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better if you want to know the truth. She's a big trump fan. I was not a Taylor swift fan."
He went on to say, "But [Swift is] a very liberal person, she seems to always endorse a democrat, and she'll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace. But no, I like Brittany, I think Brittany's great. Brittany got a lot of news last week she's a big MAGA fan, that's the one I like much better than Taylor Swift."
