“Shocking Truth Revealed: Did Taylor Swift Just Secretly Endorse Kamala Harris? The Real Story Behind the Viral Claim!”
On August 6, 2024, an X account claimed that pop star Taylor Swift had subtly backed U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris for the upcoming presidential election. The post read: “Taylor Swift just low key endorsed Kamala Harris and MAGA is losing their minds.”
The post has garnered more than 3 million views, 1,000 comments, and 38,000 likes. Several other social media accounts also circulated the post, with many claiming that Swift’s photo constituted an “unofficial endorsement” of Kamala Harris.
No, Taylor Swift did not officially endorse Kamala Harris. This claim is false, as there is no evidence that Taylor Swift has publicly endorsed any candidate for the 2024 election.
The image in question was taken from Swift’s official Instagram account. On August 6, she shared a series of photos from her concerts in Warsaw, Poland, held from August 1 to 3, as part of her Eras Tour.
The rumor about Swift’s supposed endorsement originated from one of the 10 photos posted, which shows the singer in a sparkling leotard holding a pink acoustic guitar and making a hand gesture.
In the background, a shadowy silhouette appears to mimic her pose, prompting social media users to speculate that it might represent Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, interpreting it as a subtle endorsement.
In her caption, Swift shared her enthusiasm for the Warsaw concerts, her first performances in Poland, and hinted that they wouldn’t be her last:
Despite the absence of comments on her post, many social media users on X believed the photo was an endorsement of Kamala Harris for president. One user wrote, “Brilliant @taylorswift13 and she endorsed harris in a creative way,” while another speculated, “It’s what Taylor calls an ‘Easter Egg’ which means a clue. She is letting us know she is about to endorse Kamala, probably waiting until she gets off her tour in a few weeks, and will be back in the states (well before the election).”
However, another X account refuted this theory by sharing a different angle of the Warsaw concert photo, revealing that the figure was actually one of Swift’s backup performers. The commenter noted, “It’s literally a backup singer. Here she is from another angle right before that picture was taken.”
