— Swifties For Harris (@Swifties4Kamala) July 23, 2024

Since stepping into the political spotlight in 2018, Swift has been outspoken about her political beliefs. Her support for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris during the 2020 election was a significant moment for both the singer and the campaign. With Biden now out of the race and endorsing Harris, the pressure is mounting for Swift to lend her star power to the Vice President's bid.

Jennifer Welch, host of the “I’ve Had It” podcast, recently made a public plea for Swift’s support. In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Welch urged, “Taylor, the best thing you can do for your fans is to stand up for them. This is the election year of the women. We need to go all out for Kamala Harris to become President.”

Despite Swift’s silence on the matter, her fanbase—known as Swifties—is already mobilizing. The account @Swifties4Kamala on X, which is not officially linked to Swift, has rapidly gained traction with nearly 40,000 followers as of July 24. The account’s aim is to harness the power of Swift’s fanbase to support Democratic candidates, showing the significant intersection of pop culture and politics.

Swifties are also showcasing their creativity on TikTok, remixing Swift’s hits with political twists. Fans are producing video montages of Kamala Harris set to songs like “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” and “Look What You Made Me Do.” The playful debate over whether Harris aligns with Swift’s “Reputation” era only adds to the excitement.

Adding to the fervor, recent comments by Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, have sparked outrage among Swifties. An old interview where Vance derogatorily referred to Harris as a “childless cat lady” has resurfaced, fueling the passionate support for Harris within Swift’s fan community.

In 2020, Swift’s endorsement of Biden and Harris was a call for progressive change and inclusive leadership. As the 2024 election nears, Swift’s fans are eager for another endorsement that could impact the race. For now, Swifties are making their voices heard, proving that even the biggest stars have a powerful role to play in today’s political landscape.
