Barely had the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris ended on Tuesday, September 10, when the American star, undoubtedly the most influential, Taylor Swift, took a stand for Kamala Harris. The singer’s fans are young and do not always vote. Their votes are therefore highly coveted.
A few minutes after the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on Tuesday, September 10, Taylor Swift, with 283 million followers on Instagram, gave her support to Kamala Harris. “I’m going to vote for Kamala Harris. She fights for the causes and rights that I believe in. (…) I think she’s a gifted and strong leader.”she wrote. She signed “the childless cat lady”in reference to Donald Trump’s running mate, who had insulted Kamala Harris in the same terms.
In 2008, the musician supported a Democratic senator from Tennessee who ultimately did not win the race. In 2020, she is positioning herself for Joe Biden. A year later, for the midterm elections, she encouraged her fans to register to vote. Result: the site registered 35,000 new voters in a few hours. According to experts, Taylor Swift’s support will not be able to convince the undecided, but it could convince the youngest to go and vote.
