Lawmakers Urge Swifties to Support Kamala Harris, One Pun at a Time

While Democrats are hoping for the coveted Taylor Swift endorsement ahead of November, her fans are already organizing for the Harris-Walz ticket.

More than 10,000 Taylor Swift fans gathered Tuesday night on a virtual call over Zoom in support of Kamala Harris — and they were subject to endless puns from the multiple congressional Democrats who also joined the call.

“Just like you’ve done every time before, we will push this boulder up the hill, and we will win in November,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren said. “I am looking forward to the era of the first woman president. So please get in the fight, knock on doors, make phone calls and let’s elect Kamala Harris the next president of the United States. Swifties, you can get this done.”

As Swift has continued to grow her influence during her worldwide Eras Tour, Democrats were hoping that her fans — who have crashed websites, bumped economies and done numbers on music charts — will channel that energy to help at the ballot box in November.
