“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. 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,” she wrote.Getty Images
Having grown up in Pennsylvania and Tennessee , Swift is uniquely placed to reach a broad church of Americans in a way no other A-list celebrities can.
