Of all the three-word phrases likely to strike terror into the hearts of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, "Swifties for Kamala" would probably reside near the top of the list.
Well, prepare for a symphony of exploding ketchup bottles, because that very phrase heads the announcement of a "kickoff call" on 8/27 at 4pm PT. "S4K is a coalition of Taylor Swift fans committed to protecting American democracy by working together to ensure Vice President Kamala Harris is elected our country's next president," reads the preliminary post, which promises "special guest speakers and lots of info on how to get involved in the fight for Harris-Walz."
Further info can be found here; the contact email listed in the announcement is [email protected].
We are duty-bound to underline that Swift herself, as far as we can determine, has no official connection with the call. Prior reports and social-media posts have indicated that a large group of fans has been coordinating Swifty-focused voter registration and GOTV efforts. But it is also worth reiterating that the megastar has not been shy about speaking out politically, particularly when urging her fans to engage: One of her Instagram posts from 2023 reportedly sparked some 35,000 new voter registrations.
Tay has more than 284m followers on IG alone, and S4K has, in mere weeks, gathered a huge throng of social-media followers (more than 100k on TikTok alone). Fans are worried about assaults on their rights and the threat to democracy represented by Project 2025, among other manifestations of Trumpian toxicity.
Also, J.D. really shouldn't have said that shit about "childless cat ladies."
