Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has spoken out after liking Taylor Swift’s Instagram post in which the 14-time Grammy winner officially endorsed Kamala Harris for president.
Minutes after the presidential debate between Harris and Donald Trump ended on Tuesday, Swift posted her endorsement. Clark liked the post within half an hour of it going public.
Clark’s fans shouldn’t take her positive response to Swift’s post as a direct endorsement of the Democratic Party presidential candidate, as she did not formally endorse Harris herself on Wednesday.
“I think it’s because I have this amazing platform,” Clark began about why she liked the “Anti-Hero” singer’s post. “So I think the biggest thing is encouraging people to register to vote.”
“I think this is the second time I’ve been able to vote in an election at 22. I was able to vote when I was 18. So I think that’s the most important thing I can do with the platform that I have. And that’s the same thing Taylor did.”

“And I think you have to continue to educate yourself about the candidates that we have and the policies that they support.”
Swift’s endorsement of Harris comes days after her friend Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, appeared to support Donald Trump.
Swift has been in a relationship with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce for the past year, who has yet to like the post himself. However, a source who spoke to DailyMail.com said he plans to support her “very soon.”
Patrick Mahomes and Kelce are good friends and the pairs were in the US Open men’s singles final together on Sunday.
Later they went on a double date in New York, not long after Brittany made headlines after liking several social media posts expressing her support for Trump.
Swift explained that the vice president “fights for the rights and causes that I think need a warrior to advocate for them.”
Swift added: ‘I think she’s a steady, talented leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we’re led by calm and not chaos.
“I was so encouraged and impressed by her choice of running mate (Walz), who has been advocating for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and women’s right to their own bodies for decades. I did my research and made my choice.”
Swift and Brittany Mahomes developed a close friendship last season, when their partners led the Kansas City Chiefs to another Super Bowl. They were frequently seen together during games and off the field.
But the singer’s post is the latest chapter in her and Brittany’s positions on opposite sides of the American political spectrum. A source told DailyMail.com exclusively that they “respect their different viewpoints” and made a “pact” not to discuss politics last month.
