The former US president did what no one else could do: cracked Swift’s inscrutable veneer by annoying her into action with an Instagram post backing Harris
Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris for president in post signed ‘childless cat lady’
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”.
