Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris... Donald Trump has only himself to blame
Taylor Swift: "I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early." Picture: Liam McBurney
Somehow, Donald Trump did what no one else could do: annoy Taylor Swift enough to finally say something about this year’s presidential race. On Tuesday, after the presidential debate between Trump and Kamala Harris had finished, Swift released a statement giving her endorsement to Harris and, as a byproduct, gave Trump what is probably one of the more annoying nights of his life.
In her endorsement, Swift addressed the grotesque AI-generated images that Trump himself shared two weeks ago, which falsely depicted her as a clownishly tarted-up Uncle Sam, and her fans as Trump supporters. “It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter,” she wrote, signing off as “childless cat lady”.
