WASHINGTON, DC: Taylor Swift is set to throw her support behind Kamala Harris for the upcoming presidential election.

Sources close to the 34-year-old 'Blank Space' singer indicate that Taylor Swift is expected to publicly endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in the weeks leading up to the election, likely between four to six weeks before November 5th.

Taylor Swift’s endorsement driven by longstanding admiration for Harris

The move comes as President Joe Biden's campaign, which initially faltered earlier this summer, sought Taylor Swift's high-profile backing. The pop star previously supported Biden in 2020, helping him defeat then-President Donald Trump.

Now, with Biden out of the 2024 race, Swift is reportedly "excited" about Harris's candidacy and the possibility of Harris making history as the first female president in the US.

Swift's enthusiasm for Harris is rooted in a long-standing admiration for the Vice President. "Taylor got enthusiastic when Kamala Harris got named VP in 2020, to see a woman getting at such a high political position and being the vice president of Joe Biden, it was massive, and she was happy about it," a source said, per The Sun.

"She was happy to endorse the Biden-Harris duo four years ago. Now that Harris is running for president, Taylor is even more excited about the possibility of having Kamala Harris being the next president of the United States of America."
