Taylor Swift’s public endorsement of Kamala Harris came during a recent fundraiser for the Biden-Harris administration. Swift, who has become increasingly politically active, praised Harris for her leadership and the policies of the current administration. While some fans praised Swift’s decision to use her platform to support causes she believes in, not all Swifties were on board with her stance.
The endorsement triggered a wave of criticism from fans who disagreed with the vice president’s policies or felt that Swift’s political engagement had crossed a line. Swift, who has long been seen as an apolitical figure for much of her career, has more recently aligned herself with progressive causes, especially on issues like LGBTQ+ rights, voter suppression, and women’s rights. However, her endorsement of a polarizing political figure like Harris appears to have tested the loyalty of a vocal minority within her fanbase.
