Forget last night’s presidential debate. The real takeaway from Tuesday in American politics: Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala Harris.
Florida Democrats, who have said for some time that the state is in play, are enthusing about the pop icon’s impending stop in the state, which just happens to be weeks before the election.
“Like millions of Floridians, I’m ready for it! Tonight, we welcomed Taylor Swift to the coalition supporting Kamala Harris for President. Taylor has one of the most powerful platforms on the planet, and she used it tonight to encourage her fans to register to vote and support the Harris-(Tim) Walz ticket,” said Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried.
“Excited Swifties can visit iwillvote.com to make sure they’re registered to vote in the upcoming election. Taylor is bringing the Eras Tour to Miami in the weekend leading up to early voting, and I look forward to seeing that energy play out in Florida!!! You can expect to see Florida Democrats organizing in full force in Miami-Dade County around her visit as we work to take back Florida.”
Fried’s enthusiasm comes after Swift announced her decision following Tuesday’s debate.
“I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,” Swift said after the debate on Instagram.
Swift shared that fake news led her to make a real endorsement.
“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.”
Trump says the endorsement will hurt Swift somehow.
“She’s a very liberal person, she always seems to endorse a Democrat and she will probably pay the price for that in the market.”

I think most of her fan base (Swifties) are too young to vote.

Nobody cares. Except Matt Gaetz.

Harris’ tax structure means more consumers can buy more Taylor remixes and re-releases, so I feel sure Taylor will approve.
A higher tax rate for Taylor along with a much higher income for Taylor means what? More money for Taylor!

I love how Taylor waited long enough to make Donald J Slump look extra stupid when she endorsed VP Harris.

One thing I do know and probably sticks in his craw more than anything.. Taylor has fans in every age group including age eligible voters… and the SIZE of her crowds?
Ha! Not enough Trumplicans in the world to even come close to that number.
Oh I want to be in that number, when the Swifties come marching in…

Most of her fan base is quite old enough to vote…
According to a survey from March 2023 among U.S. Taylor Swift fans, also called ‘Swifties’, the largest share of Swift fans were in the group of millenials. The second largest share was within the group of baby boomers, followed by Gen X. Gen Z is only 11% of total.

How many times did the ABC activist moderators fact check Kammy?
Marvin M.
September 11, 2024 at 10:51 pm
How many times did Kamala say a lie as egregiously false as “They’re eating pets” or “They allow abortion even after birth”? Trump has been saying the latter for months and the former for days and he won’t stop even after being told that those things are false, false, false.
If Kamala was not fact checked live on the debate stage, maybe it’s because … she didn’t tell a falsehood. Trump did, over and over and over again. The moderators only managed to get in a couple of fact-checks on him and they were well deserved.
You can probably find one or two things in what Kamala said during the debate that you want to argue are untrue, but those few pale in comparison to the numbers of untruths Trump was spewing right and left from the moment he started talking.
No Trump, “everybody” did not want Roe v. Wade (abortion) to go back to the states, no Trump, you are not leading in all the polls, no Trump, the economy is not in the shits like you are trying to claim it is; while not the sole arbiter of economic health, the stock market has hit record highs under Biden when you claimed there would be a stock market crash like 1929.
I’ve got dozens more Trump lies, and I think I remember one TV station saying Trump told 33 lies and Harris told 1. So gosh, I just can’t figure it out why Kamala wasn’t fact-checked as much as Donald. Such a head scratcher.
JD

If you are implying a lower count of fact checking, it could be due to the FACT she was giving accurate FACTS, unlike the cult leader.
“Favors and Faltery from Dictators” was pretty much a fact.

BTW, raygun was an entertainer and a lot of dumb asses voted for him. but it was mostly for his maga type message he pushed, not his movie fame. swift IS famous, and raygun was just another bad want-to-be actor. i hope the swift current doesn’t pull you under, well, maybe you should go under.

I agree. A third-rate has-been TV gameshow host – who happens to be a twice-impeached felon – is trying to convince unsuspecting Americans that despite his advanced age and declining abilities, he should be elected president.

Taylor seems pretty astute to me as she goes about retrieving the rights to her songs that were stolen by unethical producers and so forth. Many musicians have been ruined by the unscrupulous in the business, so it’s great to see someone successfully reclaim what is theirs.
