Following the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on Tuesday, September 10, Taylor Swift formally endorsed the Democratic nominees, according to The Independent.

"I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them," she wrote in her post.

The pop musician praised the vice president as a "steady-handed, gifted leader" and expressed her belief that the country would benefit from leadership characterized by calmness rather than chaos.

Internet rips Elon Musk for 'creepy' comment against Taylor Swift

After Elon Musk took to social media to make a controversial remark against Taylor Swift by offering to "give" the singer a child after her endorsement of Kamala Harris, netizens slammed the tech billionaire's comment.

One user on X wrote, "You are creepy and weird." Another tweeted, "This tweet just takes things to a whole new level of strange. It’s not even eccentric at this point, just outright unsettling."



 



 

"This is what you post when you have 197 Million followers? Harris won the debate tonight, and now you want to give a child to Taylor Swift, who has no interest in you. Is that some sort of alpha male dominance thing to make you feel powerful and virile? Is it working??" a netizen commented.



 

"You really think you are an Alpha, don’t you?" an individual penned. Another opined, "Don’t become like Trump just because you support him."
