Kamala Harris Comments On Taylor Swift Endorsement, Praises Singer’s “Courage” To “Stand Up For What She Believes Is Right”
Kamala Harris said that she was “very proud to have the support of Taylor Swift,” the superstar singer who endorsed her campaign right after last week’s presidential debate.
In a video for Wired, Harris said, “She’s an incredible artist. I really respect the courage that she has had in her career to stand up for what she believes is right.”

Harris added, “But we were on different sides at the Super Bowl last year. I am a 49ers fan. But who’s mad at anyone for being loyal to their team?” The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49th 25-22 in February.
Harris called the debate “quite enjoyable,” and recent polls show that she may have gotten a bounce in which she has pulled slightly ahead in key swing states.
Swift endorsed Harris in an Instagram post, writing to her 284 million followers that she was backing Harris “because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. 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.”
Harris participated in a Wired interview in which she answered “the web’s most searched questions.”
