Here’s Why Taylor Swift Fans Think She Just Subtly Endorsed Kamala Harris for President

As one of the most influential stars in the world, Taylor Swift has many Americans on the edges of their seats as they wait to see whether the 14-time Grammy winner will endorse Kamala Harris‘ 2024 campaign for president. 

And though she has yet to come forward with her support, some fans think Swift may have just subtly hinted that she’s on the Democratic nominee’s side. That’s because a Harris-like silhouette appears in the background of a photo the 14-time Grammy winner posted Tuesday (Aug. 6) of her Warsaw Eras Tour performances at PGE Narodowy, walking in the opposite direction upstage wearing a pantsuit and giving a presidential wave. 

Swift didn’t acknowledge the ambiguous female figure in her caption, instead simply thanking her “beautiful crowds” in Poland “for making us the first tour to play 3 nights in a row in your stadium!!” Still, several fans took to social media to speculate that the photo was the “Anti-Hero” singer’s quiet way of giving Harris her stamp of approval.  

“Taylor Swift just low key endorsed Kamala Harris and MAGA is losing their minds,” one person wrote on X, while another fan tweeted, “It really feels like it should be a bigger deal that Taylor Swift left a shadow of Kamala on her Instagram post but I don’t really see anyone talking about it.” 

“TAYLOR!!! Tell me more about this pic on IG from Warsaw?!?!” a third person tweeted. “We all know TS is amazing with her breadcrumbs… hope the deliberate posting of this pic hints at what #SwiftiesForHarris are hoping for!” 

One fan wrote, “Taylor Swift casually dropped this photo to endorse Kamala Harris why is NO ONE talking about this 😭😭😭.”  

If she did intend to back Harris with her post, Swift would be one of many musicians to join the sitting VP’s cause. Cardi B, Lizzo, John Legend, Ariana Grande and many more have also posted in support of the candidate, while Megan Thee Stallion performed at Harris’ Atlanta rally earlier this month. Quavo spoke at the same rally, and — as first reported by Billboard — Bon Iver is set to take the stage at her upcoming campaign stop in Wisconsin. 

It also wouldn’t be the first time Swift has aligned herself with Harris and the Democratic party. In 2020, the musician endorsed Joe Biden’s White House bid and revealed she’d be cheering on his then-running mate during the vice presidential debate — an event for which she showed off a tray of Biden-Harris sugar cookies. “Gonna be watching and supporting @KamalaHarris by yelling at the tv a lot,” Swift tweeted at the time. 

That said, other fans weren’t so quick to take Swift’s recent post as the “Karma” artist endorsing Harris — not yet, anyway. “It’s not a Kamala endorsement,” one person wrote on X. I promise when Taylor endorses her, the entire world will know. She won’t be subtle about it. 😂😂😂”
