In a clear jab at Trump’s running mate JD Vance, Swift announced her endorsement alongside a photo of her with her cat Benjamin Button In a lengthy post on Instagram, she said that having watched the debate, Harris “fights for the rights and causes I believe.” “Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.” Trump had previously shared several deepfake images of the Cruel Summer singer, which included a propaganda-style poster of Swift dressed like Uncle Sam, pointing to the viewer and overlaid with the message “Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump.” Trump said he was ‘not a fan’ of Taylor Swift Swift called Trump out for this in her endorsement of Harris.
