A viral Instagram post from the megastar sparked speculation across social media.
A viral claim that musician megastar Taylor Swift had subtly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris‘ presidential campaign in an Instagram post lacks substantial evidence as it seems that a number of social media users misinterpreted a silhouette.
The singer remains mum on the 2024 presidential election.
Swift has often been the focal point of speculation over whether she would back a candidate in the 2024 presidential race. An endorsement could be a boost to a campaign due to Swift’s massive popularity and fan base, known as the „Swifties.“ The 14-time Grammy winner has not said whether she plans to make an endorsement in the election, though Democrats remain optimistic about that possibility.
An Instagram post made by Swift on Tuesday quickly led to viral speculation that the star was making a veiled endorsement of Harris.
The photograph shared shows Swift performing during the „Lover“ set of her tour stop in Warsaw, Poland, with a silhouetted woman standing behind her waving with her back to the camera. A number of social media users remarked that the woman resembled Harris, fueling speculation about a possible endorsement.
However, the photograph, which was featured on the seventh slide of the post commemorating the Warsaw concerts, appears to simply feature a background singer walking on the stage before Swift’s performance of her song „Lover.“
The routine is nothing new, having long been part of the record-breaking tour.
Video posted to X by user Jacob Wulff, who identifies himself as supporter of former President Donald Trump, further debunks the claim. The full video from the concert shows the background singer walking toward the back of the stage in between songs while Swift addresses the crowd.
