After the TV duel between the candidates for the White House , Taylor Swift has announced that she will support Kamala Harris in the US presidential elections . An endorsement that according to analysts can move thousands of votes, given the influence that the singer has on millions of fans around the world, starting right in the United States.
Here is the artist's post, published immediately after the end of the confrontation between Harris and Trump:
“Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do some research on the issues at stake and where these candidates stand on the issues that matter to you. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their policy proposals and plans for this country. I recently learned that an AI “me” falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted on his website . It really invoked my fears about AI and the dangers of spreading misinformation . It led me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The easiest way to combat misinformation is with the truth. I will be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election .”
Taylor Swift's is not only an endorsement of Harris and an attack on Trump, who used AI to make it seem like the star supported him, but also on his vice president in pectore of the tycoon, JD Vance, pierced with the irony of an Instagram photo of the singer with her cat and the signature "Childless Cat Lady", or "childless cat lady" , a category mistreated by Vance. The sarcastic reference is, in fact, to what Vance recently declared, or rather: «Women without children are just cat ladies who should not have the right to vote».
"I'm voting for Kamala Harris," Swift concluded, "because she's fighting for rights and causes that I think need a warrior to champion . I think she's a gifted, steady-handed leader, and I think we could accomplish so much more in this country if we were led by calm and not chaos."
