Taylor Swift snubs Kamala Harris, prioritises boyfriend amid final campaign rally appearance rumours
Despite widespread speculation, Taylor Swift did not make an appearance at the final Kamala Harris rally in Pennsylvania on the eve of the election.
Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and other prominent celebrities are headlining Kamala Harris’ last rally events in crucial Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift seems to have overlooked the Democratic figure, despite formally supporting her shortly after the presidential debate.
Swift, the Grammy-winning sensation, was strongly anticipated to make an appearance at the vice president’s last campaign event before Election Day. Surprisingly, she diverted from the speculated political outing and chose to focus on her romantic life, accompanying her boyfriend, NFL athlete Travis Kelce, in Missouri. The iconic singer of “Love Story” stood amidst the cheering crowd backing her partner at Arrowhead Stadium during the Kansas City Chiefs versus Tampa Bay Buccaneers faceoff on the eve of the election, November 4th.
A message from Taylor Swift about the importance of voting
The famous singer, however, made sure to share a “crucial reminder” related to Election Day. Via her Instagram account, she discussed her groundbreaking world tour, which is set to wrap up soon. “The conclusion of our US performances on The Eras Tour couldn’t have been more enchanting. Indianapolis brought together 207,000 wonderful individuals who filled our hearts with love, enthusiasm, and happiness… I am certain that reminiscing about this weekend will always bring a smile to my face as it felt like a dream, every single moment of it. A big thank you to everyone who attended our final 3 shows in America!” she expressed on social platforms.
Sending a gentle yet crucial reminder to her 283+ million Instagram followers to cast their votes, she expressed gratitude towards everyone who attended their last three American shows. Additionally, she emphasized the significance of the upcoming US Election, highlighting that it is the final opportunity to participate in the voting process.
Taylor announced her support for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the upcoming 2024 Presidential Election, expressing admiration for Harris’s advocacy for important causes and her leadership qualities. Emphasizing the need for calm and steady leadership over chaos, Taylor also commended Tim Walz’s longstanding support for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and women’s reproductive rights.
Despite the stars aligning, Taylor Swift was notably absent from the final rally featuring Kamala Harris.
The Harris-Walz campaign continued to integrate artist-themed elements, leveraging the significant influence of the mega-pop star. This was evident in various initiatives such as the sale of friendship bracelets on the campaign’s official website. The addition of Texas-native Beyonce to Harris’s rally in Houston further underscored the infusion of star power into the campaign. This led supporters to speculate whether Swift, who hails from the Keystone state, would similarly impact events in Pennsylvania.
Perfectly coinciding with her temporary hiatus from the Eras Tour, which had just seen the surprise attendance of Ivanka, daughter of Donald Trump, a video shared online captured her presence at Arrowhead Stadium rooting for her partner.
