Taylor Swift Photo Sparks Kamala Harris Endorsement Speculation: What Fans, Voters Should Know

Musician and global superstar Taylor Swift is one of the most followed artists and her endorsement of a presidential candidate could shake things up for the 2024 presidential election.

A new photo shared by Swift has sparked speculation that an endorsement could have happened or to be announced soon.

What Happened: Vice President Kamala Harris has surged higher in 2024 election polls ahead of her head-to-head battle with Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

Harris has landed key endorsements from politicians, business leaders and celebrities.

A photo shared by Swift on Instagram has sparked speculation that the singer is backing Harris in the 2024 election.

"Oh I loved those Warsaw shows SO much!!! Our first time ever playing in Poland, but it won't be the last…I seriously had the best time," Swift captioned a series of 10 photos shared on Instagram.

The post was liked by more than 3.2 million people and likely seen by many of Swift's 283 million followers, which ranks her among the top 15 followed accounts on the social media platform.

The seventh photo in the 10 photos shared features a figure on stage behind Swift that resembles a silhouette of Harris waving to a crowd.

Swift's photo sparked speculation that she was dropping a clue about an endorsement of Harris. Neither Swift or Harris has publicly commented on the photo or the speculation.

A source close to Swift told The Hollywood Reporter that the silhouette is one of Swift's background singers onstage. A video shared by a user on X showed footage from the concert with the figure being a background singer or dancer caught in the still photo shot.

Why It's Important: Swift has not endorsed a candidate in the 2024 presidential election publicly. She previously endorsed Joe Biden and Harris in the 2020 election.

Presidential candidate Donald Trump argued earlier this year that Swift should not endorse Biden.

"Why would she endorse this dope," Trump said, referring to Biden at the time. "He doesn't know how to get off a stage."

Trump argued that Swift would have more of a reason to support him after he signed the Music Modernization Act that helped musicians.

Previously, Trump supporters attacked Swift and started rumors alleging that the singer was in a conspiracy with the NFL and would endorse Biden.

A February Morning Consult survey of registered voters showed that many Swift fans might not vote in the 2024 election. The survey found that of the Swift fans polled aged 18 to 34, only 51% said they would definitely vote in the 2024 election. A majority (54%) of the Swift fans polled who participated in the 2020 election voted for Biden, compared to 25% who voted for Trump.

Swift encouraged fans to vote back in 2023 making a non-partisan post for voters to register on National Registration Day. The post led to Vote.org seeing a 1,226% jump in visits in the hour after Swift's Instagram story was posted.

The voter registration organization said the day saw the largest amount of people registering in three years, with the number of 18-year-old voters doubling from the previous year, potentially boosted by Swift's encouragement.

Harris attracted a large amount of young voters according to a recent Morning Consult poll. In the poll, Harris had a four-point lead over Trump among all voters. The lead in the 18-34 demographic was nine points in the poll, hitting a record high for a candidate in the 2024 election cycle.

The speculation of a potential Harris endorsement by Swift comes as singer Beyoncé recently allowed the use of her songs by the Harris campaign and is reportedly nearing a public endorsement and large donation.
