In it, Swift spoke directly to \u2018young voters\u2019 and encouraged her followers to show that they voted by posting a photo with the hashtag #JustVoted.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s not enough to just want to vote. You have to go and make change by voting,\u2019 she says in the six-year-old clip.<\/p>\n
Many Swifties \u2014 and even the trusted news publication Newsweek \u2014 were left fooled as they believed it was the latest statement from Swift regarding the 2024 election.<\/p>\n
\u2018Miss Swift your endorsement may have just saved democracy. I thank you very much,\u2019 one unknowing fan tweeted out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Several even went ahead and posted selfies showing off their \u2018Just Voted\u2019 stickers in the hopes of getting Swift\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n The video \u2014 which Swift originally shared to her Instagram Story in 2018 \u2014 was reposted by the TikTok account @taylor_swift_videos on Tuesday, amassing over 400,000 views in just nine hours.<\/p>\n It gained further traction when it was posted to X by the account Call To Activism, which boasts over 1million followers and is a vocal Harris supporter.<\/p>\n In September, Swift publicly endorsed Democratic nominee Harris and her VP pick Tim Walz in a lengthy Instagram statement that\u2019s racked up more than 11.4million likes.<\/p>\n On Monday, Swift issued a \u2018friendly but extremely important reminder\u2019 to her devout fanbase to head to the polls on Tuesday, November 5.<\/p>\n Swift was noticeably absent from Harris\u2019 star-studded closing election rally in Pennsylvania this week as she, instead, attended boyfriend Travis Kelce\u2019s NFL game in Missouri.<\/p>\n She watched the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Arrowhead Stadium, with Swift seated in a VIP booth with Patrick Mahomes\u2019 wife Brittany, who is a known Trump supporter.<\/p>\n Brittany went public with her Trump support in September, liking multiple posts endorsing Trump and JD Vance at this week\u2019s election.<\/p>\n When Swift went public with her backing of the Democrats in September, she mocked Vance\u2019s remarks about the United States being run by \u2018childless cat ladies\u2019 and praised Harris as a \u2018gifted leader.\u2019<\/p>\n She also slammed the former president Trump for \u2018falsely\u2019 claiming her support with a slew of AI images back in August.<\/p>\n Swift made her Harris endorsement via Instagram just hours after Harris and Trump\u2019s fiery presidential debate.<\/p>\n \u2018Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven\u2019t 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. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country,\u2019 Swift began.<\/p>\n \u2018Recently I was made aware that AI of \u2018me\u2019 falsely endorsing Donald Trump\u2019s presidential run was posted to his site. It really 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. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth,\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n She noted that \u2018I\u2019m 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. 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\u2019s right to her own body for decades.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018I\u2019ve done my research, and I\u2019ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it\u2019s much easier to vote early. I\u2019ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story,\u2019 she wrote.<\/p>\n Swift concluded her Instagram post with: \u2018With love and hope, Taylor Swift Childless Cat Lady.\u2019<\/p>\n Swift included a photo of herself holding her cat Benjamin Button, which was originally snapped for TIME magazine in 2023.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/swiftnewsy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/91720393-14045873-image-m-3_1730851990698.jpg\")
