By the time the 2020 presidential election rolled around, Taylor was firmly on Team Biden. She publicly endorsed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, calling them the leaders America needed to “start the healing process it so desperately needs.” Swift also showed her support by publicly baking Biden-Harris cookies—because who doesn’t want to eat a cookie with political frosting, right?
And in a signature Taylor move, she signed her endorsement post with something that showed just how much she didn’t care about the fallout from her political views. Swift wrapped up her post by saying, “With love and hope, Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady.” Yes, you read that right. It was a cheeky, self-aware, and honestly brilliant way to stick it to the haters.
The 2024 Election
In the 2024 elections, Taylor remained vocal about her political views, this time supporting Kamala Harris for a second term. She shared on Instagram that she believed Harris was a capable and steady leader, emphasizing that the country would achieve much more if it were guided by calm rather than chaos. Of course, this did not sit well with Trump, who tweeted, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” As if the feeling wasn’t mutual.
