Though Taylor Swift has yet to make a political endorsement, a group of her fans and some political heavyweights have organized and put money behind Kamala Harris. We’re talking about Swifties for Kamala. Senator Elizabeth Warren was just one of the speakers on the “Swifties for Kamala” call Tuesday on Zoom. The group, which has no official affiliation with Taylor or VP Harris, had raised over $144,000 as of Wednesday for the Democratic presidential nominee. Around 34,000 people joined the two-hour call. The group has over 73,000 followers on X and over 48,000 on Instagram and one of the organizers told NBC, “We’ve seen the good we can do as a fandom and what happens when we mobilize our community, so we don’t need to wait. We personally know what our values are. We also know what Taylor’s values are. She’s made them very clear to us.” Taylor has spoken out against Trump in the past, vowing to vote him out in November 2020.
