    Taylor Swift endorsed Harris in a post to Instagram shortly after the debate between the vice president and Trump ended.

    “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for [Kamala Harris] because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” Swift wrote in her post, complete with a photo of her cat. “I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”

    Swift noted that she was aware of artificial intelligence posts of her “falsely endorsing” Trump and said the best way to combat the “dangers of spreading misinformation” is to issue her endorsement of Harris.
