While Taylor Swift has yet to publicly support a presidential candidate, her devoted fan base is already actively promoting one. The Swifties for Kamala coalition officially launched on Tuesday with a virtual gathering featuring a roster of guest speakers — including Carole King and senator Elizabeth Warren , among others — incorporating Swift-themed references and puns.

King was introduced as the self-proclaimed “original cat lady” and started her speech by praising Swift as “my musical and songwriting granddaughter.” Swift inducted King into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 2021, performing a cover of “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” and calling her “the greatest songwriter of all time.” King returned the favor during the call by rapping the chorus of “Shake It Off.”

“I am enthusiastic about Kamala, because many people are excited about Kamala,” King stated. “I have admired her, the idea that this happened, and the stars aligned, and Joe Biden made a truly gracious, difficult decision, and I am so proud of him. … But this is about you. This call is about you.”

King encouraged the estimated 27,000 viewers to support Harris and Tim Walz by volunteering, specifically mentioning door knocking and phone banking. “I’ve been a political activist for years. I’ve been a volunteer, I’ve been a door knocker, even as a famous person,” she said. “I’m telling you this because if any of you are thinking of volunteering to be door knockers or phone callers, but you’re a little nervous about what you might say, please believe me: there is nothing to lose and everything to gain.”

Each guest speaker was instructed to share their favorite song from Swift before sharing their political messages. Warren, the first guest speaker for the event, kicked off the call by claiming “Karma” and “All Too Well (10-Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version)” as her favorite songs. She also called out the battle against Ticketmaster , and summoned the “Era of the First Woman President,” as viewers on the “Swifties for Kamala” Discord chat praised Warren’s efforts and donated to Harris’ campaign (an estimated $1 1 4 ,000 was raised at the time of this article’s publication).

“Here's the thing. We have 70 days until the election, and I'm going to be straightforward, it's going to be a tough fight,” Warren said. “We have a lot to do, and Dang, there are only 24 hours in a day, or 144 ‘All Too Well (10 Minute Versions).'”

Other notable guests included senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Ed Markey (who, in a speech about climate change, incorporated references to Swift’s Lana Del Rey-featuring “Snow on the Beach”); Rep. Chris Deluzio and Rep. Becca Balint; North Carolina Democratic Party chair Anderson Clayton; and Swifties for Kamala team members Irene Kim, Emerald Medrano, Annie Wu Henry, April Glick Pulito, Emma Coleman and Lexa Hayes.

Swifties for Kamala was launched after President Biden ended his campaign in July, as the Democratic Party leadership was quickly rallying behind Harris as the presumptive nominee. While Swift has yet to publicly endorse either Harris or Trump, the pop star did endorse the Biden-Harris ticket before the 2020 election.

“We aren't waiting for Taylor to endorse Kamala Harris ,” Rohan Reagan, social media manager for Swifties for Harris, told Cosmopolitan in an interview earlier in August. “We're doing this independently, using the Swiftie platform to get people involved in the election. Taylor did support Joe Biden during the 2020 election, so she might show her support again. But Swifties for Kamala aren't waiting for her to do that.”

Earlier in August, Donald Trump shared images on his platform Truth Social that claimed that Swift had supported his candidacy. Some of the images were real, captured by a dedicated Swift fan. However, many seemed to be AI-generated pictures of women wearing “Swifties for Trump” shirts. One screenshot came from a satirical article. Trump labeled the post: “I accept!”
