Pop superstar Taylor Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris’ for President on Tuesday night after Harris demolished former President Donald Trump in a national debate.
“I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,” Swift said in a post on Instagram. Swift has 550.5 million followers on social media.
“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.”
“I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice,” the Grammy-winning artist added. “Your 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’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.”
Swift, 34, signed her post “Childless Cat Lady” — a reference to the insult by Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, to describe women who do not have kids.
A Harris campaign official said the campaign views the singer’s backing as part of a “decisive victory” for the vice president and speaks to her ability to attract support.
A national NBC News poll in November found 40% of registered voters had positive views of Swift, while 16% had negative views. A majority of Democrats (53%) viewed her positively, while 28% of Republicans said the same.

The four girl Norwegian band “Katzenjammer” are literally the original childless cat ladies. They sing in English and actively toured from 2005 to 2016. Hilariously, the word “Katzenjammer” is a German word that means the “wail of a cat”. The three string acoustic bass instrument (balalaika) they play is painted with a cat face.
The lyrics to their original Blues song “Ain’t No Thang” are nothing short of a feminist anthem that would send the MAGA world into an apoplectic meltdown. Hoping somebody could get a message to Taylor Swift and her buds to cover this tune. Nothing like rubbing salt onto an open would.
Video of “Ain’t No Thang” from their 2012 show in Hamburg, Germany can be found on YouTube. An excerpt of the lyrics:
I’ve made my last deliver
‘Cause this shit is getting old
Your ass can stay in prison (he’ll yeah)
I ain’t gonna bail (all right)
I put your house on fire
And your truck is for sale
Ain’t no thang, oh yeah
Ain’t no thang (ain’t no thang)
It’s my easiest leave
And I will leave with your wedding ring
……
And would you promise me a thang?
Would you pretty, pretty please promise me a thang?
That you will go home
And have sex tonight …
With or without your wedding ring
A few years ago I was listening to some female songwriters discussing the state of country music.
They pointed out that as women they had a different take on a song like Toby Keith’s “Who’s That Man”.
Not a Toby Keith fan myself, but no doubt it’s a well written song.
That’s my house and that’s my car
That’s my dog in my backyard
There’s the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
There’s my kids and that’s my wife
But who’s that man running my life?
The character in the song is sooooo sad you can feel it from the speakers.
But their take was “Well, he musta’ done something bad for her to leave him”.
Then they had a good laugh. 🙂
Perspective is everything. No sympathy for that sad dude.
Don’t listen to pop music much and I’m for sure not a Swiftie, glad she’s for Harris but really don’t care pop stars endorse, but hey, she has an outlook on life that her fans share. Good for her.
Republicans have a weird fixation on pop culture, they put washed up folks like Scott Baio and Kevin Sorbo on Fox News for their great “insights” into economic matters and world affairs, I guess?
And Rob Schneider? OMG LOL!
They have sleazebags like Kid “I straight up plagerize” Rock (aka Rob Richie, who pretends to be white trash but grew up in a mansion with servants and two tennis courts) and creepy Hulk “Amateur Porn Actor” Hogan on their convention stage while talking about family values.
Oh, yeah, Hogan is a wrestler, and we all know that wrestling is real!!!!! Heck, Don-Old is in the WWE Hall of Fame (he really is).
Maybe Fox News and the other rage-farms should spend more time talking facts, making their case for why Swifties should vote for their guy convicted rapist and felon Don-Old J Trump, instead of attacking her and them.
I’d take them a bit more seriously if they did.
