In her Instagram post, Swift emphasized the importance of being an informed voter. She stated, "Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most." Swift, who is 34 years old, made it clear that she would be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election.
Swift's endorsement was not just a casual remark; she also criticized Trump's campaign for allegedly using fake A.I. images of her. She expressed her belief that Harris is a champion for the rights and causes she cares about, stating, "I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them." Furthermore, she added, "I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos," highlighting her preference for a stable leadership.
In her message, Swift also reached out to first-time voters, reminding them of the importance of registration. She said, "Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered!" She encouraged her followers to vote early and promised to share information on how to register and find early voting dates.
