Of Course Taylor Swift Is Going to Endorse Kamala Harris — and She Can Hug Whoever She Damn Wants


Taylor Swift may not have endorsed Kamala Harris yet, but every bit of history suggests: it's coming—her hugging Brittany Mahomes hardly withstanding.

We already know that celebrity endorsements have limited power to sway races,” she notes, pointing toward Larry David’s support for John Kerry and Killer Mike stumping for Bernie Sanders as examples that failed to move the needle. The 2020 documentary “Miss Americana” (about which Swift sat for a Variety cover story interview) largely chronicled the awakening in which the formerly publicly apolitical singer made the fateful decision to speak up about a state election, forever disabusing conservative Republicans, anti-abortion advocates, et al. of their previously cherished hope that she was secretly one of them. (Apparently Jack Antonoff was able to subliminally embed neuralyzer wavelengths in “Cruel Summer.”) She has become America’s sweetheart as a booster at NFL games, and no doubt the prospect of being booed by some football fans if she speaks up against Trump during the season is something no one would welcome.
