Pop star Taylor Swift finally made her move Tuesday night and endorsed a presidential candidate.

Shortly after the presidential debate ended between Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, Swift posted a statement on her Instagram page, announcing that she’s all on board for Harris.

In her statement, Swift also took a jab at Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance, as she signed her name and then added the title, “Childless Cat Lady.” It was a reference to an off-hand remark Vance made during a 2021 interview with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, which Democrats are pounced on with a vengeance.

Swift’s statement reads:

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.

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.

I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. 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.

With love and hope,

Taylor Swift
Childless Cat Lady

A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift)

Trump reacted to Swift endorsing Harris during a Fox & Friends interview Wednesday morning, saying this was no surprise and it was just a matter of time.

“But she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she’ll probably pay a price for it […] in the marketplace,” Trump said.

But it was X owner Elon Musk’s reaction that has set the internet on fire.

Musk, who has endorsed Trump, mockingly replied to Swift’s endorsement for Harris by posting a controversial statement that’s going viral far faster than Swift’s endorsement post.

“Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,” Musk mocked.

As of this report, Musk’s comment has garnered over 46 million views and 29,000 comments.  While conservatives get the joke and are calling it “savage,” liberals are aghast and taking it serious.
