Taylor Swift has been at the top of the pop music charts for over 15 years. That's an eternity in show business. It's no accident. Swift's rise to superstardom was as carefully planned as a military campaign. Her studio recordings, her songwriting, her tours, her public appearances, and her advocacy have all been carefully structured to give her maximum exposure with minimum risk. Until she endorsed Kamala Harris for president. Swift transcended pop music to become an American icon. Her Harris endorsement has now squandered that precious admiration and goodwill and, for the first time in her hugely successful career,...

There’s bad blood between them. Former President Donald Trump lashed out at pop star Taylor Swift Sunday, declaring his disdain — days after she endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” Trump, 78, wrote on Truth Social in all caps, without elaborating further. Swift, 34, posted her endorsement of Harris just after the high-stakes ABC News debate between Trump and Harris last Tuesday. She previously backed President Biden in the 2020 election. “I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” the billionaire singer wrote on Instagram...

Taylor Swift’s Instagram endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday was perhaps the least surprising thing to happen thus far in the 2024 campaign.

Unlike the handful of entertainers who express alignment with the Republican Party, Ms. Swift risks losing none of the adoring media coverage and access to establishment power centers critical to maintaining status at the top of the A-list.Siding with the Democratic Party machine is easy for someone who will never have to face the consequences. A billionaire who has twice earned the title of...

But a whopping 20% said they are “somewhat” or “much less likely” to vote for former President Donald Trump’s opponent now that Swift has spoken. Advertisement

Reacting to music superstar Taylor Swift's public support for Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Trump said on Wednesday that Swift will "probably pay a price" for the endorsement in the marketplace.

Tim Walz is “grateful” that Taylor Swift, the pop star phenomenon, has endorsed his and Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign ahead of the 2024 election. Just moments after Harris wrapped her first debate with Donald Trump in Philadelphia on Tuesday, the 14-time Grammy winner revealed she will be circling Harris’ name on the ballot later this year. “I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” Swift, 34, said on Instagram. The endorsement was welcome news to Walz, who praised the singer’s “courage” to speak out.

It comes after the singer's legion of fans begged her to snub the wife of star Chiefs quarterback Patrick because she appeared to endorse Donald Trump in the upcoming US election.

Governor Jared Polis (D-CO) said Friday on CNN’s “OutFront” that since former President Donald Trump reposted AI-generated images about pop star Taylor Swift, he would lie about the big issues. Guest host Brianna Keilar said, “This is a very different topic I think one that is light, but also there’s something serious about it because you made it clear in your DNC speech, you’re a major Swiftie. The group’s Swifties for Kamala says it raised over $140,000 for her campaign and its virtual rally this week. There was no Taylor Swift there. Trump, though, is claiming the pop star supports...

Brzezinski said, “Kamala Harris, of all people, would know, especially as a woman, we know never to get confident and to keep the work going. But if you look at that crowd, if I could just point out some contrasts here, Donald Trump says people in the crowd should get punched, reporters should get punched, you know, screams things about people who need to get dragged out.” She continued, “Let’s see—people, like, getting...
