Carole King and Elizabeth Warren team up with ‘Swifties for Kamala’ to raise $142,000

Some members of Taylor Swift’s fan base, known as Swifties, have organized and taken action in support of presidential candidate Kamala Harris, despite not receiving public support from Swift herself. The group, “Swifties for Kamala,” has raised $142,000 for Harris, with the majority of the funds collected during a recent Zoom event that featured appearances by various political figures and musicians. While Swift endorsed Joe Biden and Harris in 2020, she has not publicly supported a candidate in the current race. The group has a large following on social media and has been mobilizing online for the past month, feeling empowered to support Harris based on their own values and Swift’s apparent alignment with those values. Swift has been more outspoken politically since the release of her documentary “Miss Americana” in 2020, and the group of Swifties for Harris is inspired by their desire to make a difference. Other similar groups, such as “White Dudes for Harris” and “Cat Ladies for Kamala,” have also organized events in support of Harris after Biden announced he would not seek re-election. The Swifties for Kamala group aims to use their love for Taylor Swift and shared values to make a positive impact on the election.
