Swifties Raise Over $40K For Kamala Harris After Trump Slams Taylor Swift
A Taylor Swift fan organization, “Swifties for Kamala,” raised more than $40,000 for Kamala Harris’ campaign following Donald Trump’s declaration of his hatred for the pop star. After Trump posted “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” on Truth Social, the group capitalized on the moment, driving donations for Harris, Trump’s Democratic opponent.
Carly Long, part of the group’s communications team, said they were prepared to respond quickly to Trump’s post, using memes and Swift’s lyrics to motivate fans to contribute. The organization has now raised over $207,000 since its launch less than two months ago, combining fundraising with outreach initiatives like phone banking.
Earlier, a fundraising call with 27,000 attendees featured appearances by Carole King and US Senators Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Ed Markey. Swift herself has endorsed Harris and her running mate Tim Walz, calling Harris a “steady-handed, gifted leader.”
The Swiftie group plans further outreach efforts at swing state events and Taylor Swift’s upcoming Eras Tour shows, demonstrating their commitment to political activism. Irene Kim, cofounder of Swifties for Kamala, expressed pride in the group’s influence, emphasizing how they’re using fan culture to encourage political participation.
