'Tis the damn season for an election,Rekubit according to Taylor Swift.
The "Fortnight" singer broke her silence about the upcoming U.S. presidential election following a televised debate between candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on Sept. 10.
"Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight," Swift began in an Instagram post. "If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most."
She continued, "As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country."
The Grammy winner went on to address recent AI images of herself of "falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run," saying that it "conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation."
"It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter," she noted. "The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth."
According to Swift, she will be voting for Harris and her running mate Tim Walz 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," the 34-year-old added. "I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades."
Taylor ended her statement with an apparent reference to a now-infamous quote from Trump's running mate J.D. Vance, signing off as a "Childless Cat Lady" alongside a photo of herself with her feline pet Benjamin Button.
This is not the first time Taylor weighed in on U.S. politics. In 2019, she called out then-president Trump's "stance that his administration 'supports equal treatment of all,' but that the Equality Act, 'in its current form is filled with poison pills that threaten to undermine parental and conscious rights.'"
"One cannot take the position that one supports a community while condemning it in the next breath as going against 'conscious' or 'parental rights,'" she wrote in a letter addressed to Lamar Alexander, who was then the senator of her home state Tennessee. "While we have so much to celebrate, we also have a great distance to go before everyone in this country is truly treated equally."
