Taylor Swift<\/strong> <\/a>has formally endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris<\/strong><\/a>. In a lengthy new statement that the 34-year-old pop star shared to Instagram<\/a> on Tuesday, September 10, she also blasted Republican candidate Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a> and his team for using AI-generated images of her earlier this summer.<\/p>\n \u201cLike many of you, I watched the debate tonight,\u201d Taylor wrote via Instagram just minutes after the presidential debate<\/a> ended. \u201cIf you haven\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cYou Need to Calm Down\u201d hitmaker then pointed to the AI photos that Donald\u2019s team shared this past summer. In the photos, Taylor appeared to have endorsed the 78-year-old former host of The Apprentice.<\/em> In her new Instagram statement, Taylor denied this.<\/p>\n \u201cRecently I was made aware that AI of \u2018me\u2019 falsely endorsing Donald Trump\u2019s presidential run was posted to his site,\u201d she wrote. \u201cIt 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.\u201d<\/p>\n Taylor Swift seemingly addresses JD Vance\u2019s comments on women without children, signing her Kamala Harris endorsement letter as \u2018Childless Cat Lady.\u2019 pic.twitter.com\/RWiRhGKWxN<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Pop Crave (@PopCrave) September 11, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Along with her lengthy caption, Taylor included a photo of herself holding one of her cats \u2014 seemingly as a jab to Donald\u2019s running mate J.D.

She even concluded the post by signing it with \u201cChildless Cat Lady.\u201d<\/p>\n While acknowledging that the \u201csimplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth,\u201d Taylor wrote that she \u201cwill be casting [her] vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz<\/strong><\/a> in the 2024 presidential election.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,\u201d Taylor continued. \u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n Throughout her statement, the \u201cKarma\u201d hitmaker emphasized how \u201cheartened and impressed\u201d she is by Kamala\u2019s selection for her running mate in Tim, 60, \u201cwho has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman\u2019s right to her own body for decades.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve done my research, and I\u2019ve made my choice,\u201d Taylor concluding, before encouraging her fans to vote. \u201cYour research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it\u2019s much easier to vote early. I\u2019ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.\u201d<\/p>\n Taylor\u2019s announcement comes amid rumors about her friendship<\/a> with Brittany Mahomes<\/strong><\/a>. The duo became close after Taylor started dating<\/a> her boyfriend, Travis Kelce<\/strong><\/a>, in mid-2023. Earlier this summer, social media users noticed that Brittany, 29, \u201cliked\u201d Donald\u2019s Instagram<\/a> post about the GOP\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n \n\t\t<\/div>\n\n
