Swift first openly supported Harris when the Vice President faced Donald Trump during a presidential debate. Trump criticized Harris for allegedly relying on popularity instead of political specifics. However, Swift didn't hesitate to lend her support.
According to an anonymous source close to the star, on election day, the artist decided to send Harris a "huge bouquet of roses" along with a message full of encouragement.
Taylor Swift has supported political causes for years
Swift's support for the current government is not new. In 2020, during Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' election campaign, Swift baked cookies decorated with the phrase "Biden Harris 2020" and encouraged her fans to participate in the election.
Soon after, she published an open letter expressing her support for the vice-presidential candidate, humorously signing it as "childless cat lady." In her statement, she emphasized that she considers Harris a steady-handed, gifted leader," and also noted that "we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos."
Kamala Harris supported by other stars
Harris, one of the Democratic Party's main figures, can count on the support of many celebrities. The campaign's last days were filled with election meetings, during which stars like Oprah Winfrey and Lady Gaga appeared. At a rally in Pennsylvania, Lady Gaga accompanied Harris on stage, and at another event in Houston, Beyoncé spoke, allowing her song "Freedom" to be used during the campaign.
Trump criticises celebrity support for Harris
In contrast, Donald Trump openly criticizes the support stars give to Harris, suggesting that these actions are merely superficial and mean little. At a rally in Pittsburgh, he accused Beyoncé of not performing on stage when Harris spoke and commented on the audience's reaction, claiming that the crowd booed the speech, but the media did not show it. Trump spares no words, emphasizing that his campaign focuses on politics, not the celebrity glitz, which he believes is superficial.
Taylor Swift supports Harris with the country's future in mind
According to Swift's source, the singer believes her symbolic gesture could give Harris positive energy on this important election day.
The source emphasised that Taylor Swift knows how crucial today is for our country and that Kamala needs all the support and love she can get. The whole day is focused on work, but also on the election results, as we are all aware of the tense situation we are in, the speaker added.
