Taylor Swift backs Kamala Harris, prompting sharp Donald Trump reaction

The presidential elections in the United States are approaching rapidly. Many people expected Taylor Swift to declare who she would vote for. She did so on Tuesday, 10 September. She announced that she supports Kamala Harris. This did not please Donald Trump.

Taylor Swift is currently the most popular and influential singer in the world. For a long time, many people accused her of political passivity. Americans expected the artist to declare who she would vote for in the November presidential elections. Taylor Swift did so after a debate held between the candidates. On Instagram, she announced that she supports Kamala Harris and her vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz. Donald Trump was asked for a comment.

Republican candidate Donald Trump has spoken about Taylor Swift multiple times. A few weeks ago, he stated that she is a beautiful woman. He admitted that he regrets that she has more liberal views than he does. However, he believed that the artist supported his candidacy. This was due to photos that appeared online. They depicted Taylor Swift fans wearing t-shirts with slogans promoted by Trump. The problem was that these were created by AI.

Taylor Swift's Instagram post stating that she supports Kamala Harris and will vote for her appeared just a few minutes after the presidential debate ended. The singer's post was liked by many world-class stars, including Selena Gomez, Viola Davis, Charlie xcx, Stevie Nicks, and Finneas O’Connell. Moreover, just a few hours after Taylor Swift shared the link to register for the elections, over 300,000 citizens used it.

Journalists asked Donald Trump for a comment. They wanted to know what he thought about the most influential woman in the world supporting his opponent. With his characteristic nonchalance, the politician said that he was never a fan of the singer. He added that he expected the artist to vote for Kamala Harris. Furthermore, he stated that Taylor Swift "probably pay a price" for this. It is unclear what he meant exactly. However, the sentence sounds like a sort of threat.
