Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark set the record straight after her Instagram “like” on Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Vice President Harris stoked speculation about her political beliefs.
Clark was among a series of public figures — and more than 10.2 million others — to hit the like button on Swift’s Instagram post announcing her support for Harris and vice presidential nominee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) Tuesday night.
When asked by reporters Wednesday about the post and if she plans to endorse Harris herself, Clark said, “I have this amazing platform.” The WNBA player boasts nearly 3 million followers on Instagram.
“So, I think the biggest thing would be just encourage people to register to vote. I think for myself, the second time I can vote in an election at age 22, I could vote when I was 18,” she said. “So, I think do that. That’s the biggest thing I can do with the platform that I have, and that’s the same thing Taylor did.”
In a message to her more than 280 million Instagram followers, Swift encouraged her followers to do their “research,” and reminded them to register to vote ahead of the November election.
