Swifties for Kamala Has Raised $144,000 for the Harris-Walz Campaign So Far

Swifties for Kamala has raised $144k for the Harris-Walz campaign, with the bulk of donations made during a Zoom call with Carole King.

“We’ve seen the good we can do as a fandom and what happens when we mobilize our community,” Swifties for Kamala cofounder and executive director Irene Kim told NBC News on Wednesday. King has been vocal about her support for the VP from the beginning, and while serving as a guest speaker on the Swifties for Kamala call, she sang a surprise cover of “Shake It Off” and encouraged those in attendance to volunteer for Harris’ campaign. “If any of you are thinking of volunteering to be door knockers or phone callers, but you’re a little nervous about what you might say, please believe me, you will be working with an organizer who will give you steps,” she told the virtual crowd, adding that she sees Swift as her “musical and songwriting granddaughter.”
