Last week, Swift used social media to announce her endorsement of the current vice-president and her running mate Tim Walz shortly after Harris debated Trump.

In an Instagram post Swift wrote, “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election,” adding, “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.”

The Washington Post reported that, “Within 15 hours of her endorsement of Harris, Swift’s much-anticipated announcement drove about 338,000 visits to Vote.gov, the federal voter registration site the singer linked to on an Instagram Story post. It is unclear how many of her fans registered to vote.”

Swift has not responded to Trump’s post.
