Vice President Kamala Harris recently broke her silence on Taylor Swift’s unexpected endorsement, expressing both pride and a sense of humour about the pop star’s public show of support.
Although she has received numerous endorsements throughout her campaign, one recent show of support of pop superstar Taylor Swift ‘just hits different’ given the artist’s cultural impact and advocacy.
In a video published by ‘Wired’ magazine, Harris expressed her excitement about Swift’s endorsement, saying, “I’m very proud to have the support of Taylor Swift. She’s an incredible artist who has shown immense courage in standing up for what she believes is right.”
Swift, a Kansas City Chiefs fan, voiced her backing shortly after Harris debated with former President Donald J. Trump. Adding a new dynamic to the vice president’s campaign, blending politics with pop culture in a way that speaks to both traditional and younger voters.
However, Harris couldn’t help but mention their Super Bowl rivalry in a light-hearted way, saying Swift’s loyalty to the Kansas City Chiefs, where her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, plays, while she herself is a die-hard San Francisco 49ers fan.
“We were on different sides of the Super Bowl last year, but who’s mad at anyone for being loyal to their team, right?” Harris quipped.
The Wired interview was part of a broader campaign effort to connect with new audiences through casual, lighthearted appearances.
While Harris didn’t dive into deep policy discussions during the segment, which included answering popular Google search questions about herself.
She chose not to address former President Donald Trump’s recent criticism of Swift, where he declared, “I hate Taylor Swift!”
Instead she reflected on her recent debate with Trump, saying, “That was quite enjoyable. I enjoyed the debate.”
She went on to describe the debate as ‘one of the best days’ of her campaign.
