Taylor Swift’s fans aren’t waiting around for her endorsement to get involved in the 2024 election.
Many Swifties are already rallying behind Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, forming a group called Swifties for Kamala.
Their mission? To use the power of their fandom to support Harris’s campaign, even without Swift’s direct involvement.
Swifties Taking Action, With or Without Taylor!
In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, leaders of Swifties for Kamala explained that their movement isn’t about pushing Taylor Swift to endorse Harris. As 21-year-old Rohan Reagan put it:
“We’re doing this on our own, using the Swiftie platform to get people engaged in the election.” Reagan added that while Swift did support Joe Biden in 2020, they’re not waiting for her to do the same for Harris. “We’re taking action now.”
Co-founder Irene Kim, 29, emphasized that their goal is to harness the power of the Swiftie community for political mobilization.
“We’re not trying to make Taylor do anything. Our movement is about how we, as a community, can come together and make a difference.”
Harris Steps Up, While Swift Stays Silent (For Now)!
This movement comes on the heels of a major political shift. About a month ago, President Biden withdrew from the 2024 race, endorsing Kamala Harris to lead the Democratic ticket.
Since then, Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate and officially accepted her nomination at the Democratic National Convention. However, Taylor Swift has yet to publicly show support for Harris.
There was a brief moment earlier this month when fans speculated that Swift might have subtly backed Harris. During her Eras Tour, she posted a photo that appeared to feature a Kamala Harris look-alike in the background, but nothing has confirmed that it was intentional.

Musicians Rally for Harris as Swifties Lead the Charge!
While Swift remains silent, other big-name musicians have stepped up to endorse Harris, including Megan Thee Stallion, John Legend, Pink, and Stevie Wonder. Ariana Grande, Olivia Rodrigo, Demi Lovato, and others have also voiced their support.
Meanwhile, Swifties for Kamala continue to advocate for Harris, leveraging their fandom to raise awareness and provide voter registration resources.
Co-founder Emerald Medrano, 22, told Cosmo that one of their main goals is to create a “Swiftie safe space” where younger voters feel comfortable getting involved in politics.
“We’re blending voter registration with things like friendship bracelet initiatives. It’s a cool way to bring fandom culture into the political arena and help people feel more connected and engaged.”
