Yahoo Lifestyle Kamala Harris Said She Is "Very Proud" To Have Taylor Swift's Endorsement, Despite This One Little Thing They Disagreed On In February 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris shared how she feels about Taylor Swift's endorsement.
Participating in Wired's autocomplete interview series, Harris was asked what it's like to receive a 2024 presidential endorsement from the pop star.
If you remember, earlier this month, Taylor endorsed the Harris-Walz ticket immediately following Harris's first debate against former president Donald Trump.
Taylor clarified that Harris "fights for the right and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader, and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos."
Taylor included that she "was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate, Tim Walz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman's right to her own body for decades."
Taylor encouraged followers to register to vote, and following her endorsement, she reportedly drove more than 400,000 visitors to Vote.gov only 24 hours after her initial post.
It was totally expected and not at all surprising that an upset Trump said on Fox & Friends that Taylor would "probably pay a price" for her endorsement "in the marketplace." The former media personality also posted on Truth Social, "I Hate Taylor Swift!"

But you won't catch Vice President Harris posting angry comments on social media.
Partaking in Wired's series, Harris responded to popular searches like her name pronunciation, iconic laugh, and Taylor Swift.
"I am very proud to have the support of Taylor Swift. She's an incredible artist," Harris said.
Harris continued, "I really respect the courage that she has had in her career to stand up for what she believes is right."
"But we were on different sides of the Super Bowl last year. I am a 49ers fan, but who's mad at anyone for being loyal to their team?"

Taylor was rooting for her boyfriend Travis Kelce's team, the Kansas City Chiefs.
It's good to know that if you disagree on issues, like "Who should win the Super Bowl?" you can still come together in the end.
