Swifties Unite to Support Kamala Harris

Despite Taylor Swift's absence from the political scene for the 2024 elections, her fans have mobilized under the banner 'Swifties for Kamala,' raising over $122,000 for Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz's campaign. The virtual rally featured prominent Democratic figures such as Carole King, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Kirsten Gillibrand, and Representatives Becca Balint and Chris Deluzio, who encouraged attendees to engage in grassroots campaigning. King, referring to Swift as her 'musical granddaughter,' emphasized the importance of connecting with voters and urged attendees to participate in door-knocking efforts. Warren highlighted the resilience of Swifties and their ability to stand against political bullies, while other speakers referenced Swift's music to reinforce their messages. The grassroots movement showcases the significant impact Swift's fanbase can have, even without her direct involvement in the election. This event reflects a growing trend of celebrity influence in political mobilization, particularly among younger voters.
