Democrats are embracing Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris for
president, calling the megastar’s backing “huge” for her campaign — while some
Republicans were quick to dismiss it, and others warned her against alienating
Donald Trump voters.

The pop star — one of the most famous celebrities in the world — waded into the
contentious 2024 election with a message to her 283 million Instagram followers
shortly after the debate between Vice President Harris and former president
Trump ended Tuesday night. Swift said Harris “fights for the rights and causes I
believe need a warrior to champion them.” Her decision to speak out came after
Trump embraced AI-generated images of Swift appearing to endorse him. This
“really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading
misinformation,” Swift wrote.
