Taylor Swift: That's why I'm voting for Harris

The world star Taylor Swift has now made the statement the world has been waiting for. She supports Kamala Harris' candidacy in the USA's presidential election – and simultaneously pokes the Republicans.

"As many of you saw, I watched tonight's debate", she writes on Instagram and urges her followers to watch and read everything they can about the presidential candidates' ideas.

Swift will vote for Harris because she "fights for rights and issues that need a defender", she writes and describes the presidential candidate as steady and talented.

Swift mentions LGBTQ+ people's rights, the possibility of IVF treatment, and abortion rights as decisive issues in her decision.

"Childless cat lady"

She concludes the text with the words: "With love and hope, Taylor Swift, childless cat lady" – a jab at Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance. In a heavily criticized clip from 2021 that went viral when Vance was appointed Trump's running mate, Vance attacked childless women, specifically within the Democrats.

In practice, this country is governed by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are bitter about their lives and the choices they've made, he said to Fox News, giving Kamala Harris – now the Democratic presidential candidate – as an example.

Along with the text, Taylor Swift publishes a picture of herself and her cat Benjamin Button.

Walz: Grateful

The Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz received the news of the artist's support during a live TV interview on MSNBC. The host chose to read out a text for him – the post Swift published on Instagram, reports news agency Ritzau.

Wow. I'm really grateful, said Walz, who got a big smile on his lips and then praised Swift.

It was very well-formulated and very clear.

When Donald Trump commented on the debate for Fox News, he also stated that he was not a Taylor Swift fan.

She's a very liberal person. It seems like she always supports a Democrat, and she'll probably have to pay a high price for it on the market, he said.
