Taylor Swift has made a dramatic endorsement of Kamala Harris after her debate with Donald Trump.
The megastar announced in a post on Instagram that she would support the vice president.
She added a photo of her cat, a dig at Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance, who had mocked “childless cat ladies.” Harris supporters took the slogan to heart, forming groups of cat ladies for Harris.
Swift said in her post that she was shocked by the false reports that she had supported Donald Trump.
“I will be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election,” she wrote.
She signed her post “childless cat lady.”

Swift has previously made a statement of support, supporting Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
“Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a good time to do your research on the issues at hand and the positions these candidates are taking on the issues that matter most to you. As a voter, I will make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country,” Swift wrote.
“It was recently brought to my attention that an AI of ‘me’ that falsely endorsed Donald Trump’s presidential campaign had been posted on his site. It really raised my fears around AI and the dangers of spreading disinformation. It led me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my real plans for this election as a voter. The easiest way to combat disinformation is with the truth,” she added.
“I’ve done my research and I’ve made my choice. It’s completely up to you to do your research and make the choice. I also want to say, especially to first-time voters, remember that you have to be registered to vote! I also find it much easier to vote early. I’ll link in my story where you can register and where you can find the dates and information for early voting,” she wrote.
She ended the song with, “With love and hope, Taylor Swift Childless Cat Lady.”
She had her calico cat Benjamin Button in the lead role. He is her third of three cats.
