Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris for president, igniting a social media frenzy and sparking a public exchange with Elon Musk.
Musk responded to Swift’s endorsement by tweeting that he would “give her a child and guard her cats,” escalating the online discourse.
Swift’s endorsement is significant due to her massive influence, with a survey indicating that 53% of American adults identify as Swift fans.
Historically, celebrity endorsements have impacted elections, with Oprah’s support for Obama credited with bringing in a million votes in 2008.
Swift’s political engagement follows her previous endorsements of Democratic candidates, including Phil Bredesen in Tennessee and President Joe Biden in 2020.
The endorsement comes amid tensions with Donald Trump, who has criticized Swift and used AI-generated images of her fans to suggest their support for him.
