Kamala Harris celebrated securing the endorsement of Taylor Swift, saying she was “very proud” to have the pop star’s support on Wired’s “Autocomplete Interview” series.
The series finds celebrities answering questions based on Google autocomplete search results, and unsurprisingly, one thing that pops up when you search Harris’ name these days, is Swift’s name. Swift announced that she would be voting for Harris earlier this month, saying the VP “fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.”
Harris, in turn, called Swift an “incredible artist” and said, “I really respect the courage that she has had in her career to stand up for what she believes is right.”
That said, Harris did not shy from noting where she and Swift disagree: “We were on different sides of the Super Bowl last year,” Harris said with a laugh. Harris, who was born and raised in the Bay Area, is a longtime San Francisco 49ers fan, while Swift was, of course, supporting the Kansas City Chiefs and boyfriend Travis Kielce.
“But who’s mad at anyone for being loyal to their team, right?” Harris said.
In her endorsement, Swift also said she thought Harris was “a steady-handed, gifted leader” and believed we could “accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.” She also celebrated Harris’ selection of Tim Walz as her vice presidential candidate for his record of “standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”
One person who, obviously, wasn’t thrilled about Swift’s endorsement of Harris was Donald Trump. At first, Trump tried to brush off losing the endorsement of the most famous person in the world by calling Swift a “very liberal person” and suggesting “she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.” But he couldn’t help from revealing just how big mad he was a few days later when he posted on Truth Social, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT.”
