Taylor Swift doesn’t have to endorse Kamala Harris for her followers to rally across the Democratic nominee. Many of them already are, mobilizing on behalf of the VP beneath the title Swifties for Kamala.

In a current interview with Cosmopolitan, just a few of the group’s leaders shared that they don’t significantly care if or when the 34-year-old pop star publicly helps Harris, as a result of their motion is far larger than that. As 21-year-old Rohan Reagan defined to the publication, “We are doing this outside of her, using the platform of Swifties as a way to get people involved in the election.”

“Taylor did throw her support toward Joe Biden during the 2020 election, so it is possible that she’ll show her support again,” Reagan continued. “But Swifties for Kamala aren’t waiting for her to do that.”

Co-founder Irene Kim, 29, added, “We’re not trying to make her do anything — we do not speak for Taylor. Our movement is about the power of our community and how we can mobilize together.”

The interview comes a couple of month after President Biden dropped out of the 2024 race, appointing his second-in-command to take over the ticket. Since then, Harris has chosen Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her working mate and formally accepted her nomination for president on the Democratic National Convention — however Swift has but to publicly present assist for the attorney-turned-politician. There was a second earlier this month when many followers believed the “Anti-Hero” singer subtly embraced Harris by posting an Eras Tour picture with what gave the impression to be a Kamala look-alike within the background, however to this point, there have been no indicators that it was purposeful.

Even so, many different musicians have stepped as much as the plate to endorse Harris, together with Megan Thee Stallion, John Legend, Pink and Stevie Wonder — every of whom has carried out at varied marketing campaign occasions — in addition to Ariana Grande, Olivia Rodrigo, Demi Lovato, Quavo, Bon Iver, Barbra Streisand, Carole King and extra. And within the meantime, Swifties for Kamala plan to proceed advocating for Harris on behalf of the “Karma” artist’s followers, from elevating consciousness in regards to the VP’s marketing campaign to offering followers with voter registration sources.

“One of our goals is that we really want to make this almost a Swiftie safe space where people feel comfortable to be active in politics, especially younger voters and people who have never really participated in politics,” 22-year-old cofounder Emerald Medrano instructed Cosmo. “We combine voter registration information with, like, friendship bracelets initiatives. We’re bringing things from our fandom culture into a political space, which I think is a really cool way to help people open up and participate.”
