In a WIRED video posted 10 days after the pop star broke her silence on the 2024 presidential election, emphatically backing the Democratic politician’s campaign against Donald Trump, Harris reacted to Swift’s endorsement. “I am very proud to have the support of Taylor Swift,” she said in the autocomplete interview.

The claim originated on a satirical website. There's no credible evidence the pop star's presidential pick had any effect on her endorsement deal.

"I really respect the courage that she has had in her career to stand up for what she believes is right," Harris said in a new interview

The FAU-Mainstreet poll found 25% felt the singer's backing "strongly" assists the Democratic nominee, while 33% said it would "slightly benefit" her.

It appears Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris has quickly divided Americans along partisan lines. Among Democrats, 70% view her favorably, compared with 23% of Republicans.

In a world filled with Donald Trump's hate, a pop star who sings of hope and speaks out on politics deserves respect, even from 'old timer' Republicans.
