Taylor Swift is the influencer to end all influencers, able to use her immense fame and power effectively enough to influence the economy and laws, filmmaking and album release strategies. She has lent her voice in the past, with great effect, to voter registration efforts, but with the news that Vice President Kamala Harris is the Democratic Party’s candidateWill Swift support her in her 2024 campaign? Republican candidate Donald Trump?

Harris is also on the list.and actually ranks higher than Swift at #3, but, as Forbes Magazine Swift’s power, speaking directly into the ears of millions, is a different flavor than Harris’s “hard power” as a legislator, the paper notes. Swift’s endorsement would be an unparalleled asset to Harris’s budding 2024 campaign.

She has also spoken out specifically against Trump multiple times, without beating around the bush. tweets of 2020 called him a “racist” and supported President Joe Biden in that election and another in which she call on people to vote early and condemn Donald Trump“Ineffective leadership.”
This time, she’s even at the center of a red state conspiracy theory, with 18 percent of Americans polled in February said they thought she might be part of a secret operation to re-elect Biden.and Super Bowl cheatingan important contest although more frequent than the presidential election). In same poll68 percent said they approved of her voter registration efforts. While those Rumor has it that Biden is looking to her for help. As his campaign never took off, Swift infiltrated the Trump family: Ivanka Trump last week Share a photo of your “favorite Swiftie” Arabella13th birthdayalong with a “Bad Blood” inspired birthday cake.
So the world (especially Democratic organizers) is holding its breath to see whether Swift will throw her considerable cultural clout at Harris, the Democratic Party’s newly appointed great hope. “Swifties for Harris” account on X (formerly Twitter) was created, unrelated to Swift, and Swifties were ready to do their tough leader’s bidding.
