  Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris for president, condemns AI-generated Donald Trump support

• @willoremus Will Oremus on threads

  Swift not posting on X was a choice, of course, and one that isn't very hard to understand.  (Just look at Elon's sexual harassment of her today.)  But this does feel like an L for Threads as well.  If Taylor Swift announcing her vote for Kamala in a text-based post isn't what Th…

• @daveleebbg Dave Lee on threads

  Don't underestimate how much Swift's AI comments are resonating with young women.  The fear around this technology is huge and her fan base (and many others beyond it) is thrilled/relieved that this is one area she's speaking up on.

  “It really conjured up my fears around Al, 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.”  —  Thank you... AI?  —  https://www.instagram.com/...

• @naominixwrites Naomi Nix on threads

  Interesting that the @taylorswift endorsement was not posted on either Threads nor Twitter.  You would think she would at least cross post on those “text-based” social media apps where political conversation was designed to happen.  But I guess this just shows how weird things ha…

• @mossbergwalt Walt Mossberg on threads

  I'm guessing that the timing (not the content) of @taylorswift's endorsement of @kamalaharris was jointly worked out by the two teams.  The idea was that, by releasing it immediately after the debate, it would help mitigate a bad news cycle if Harris did poorly. …

  I never doubted that @taylorswift would endorse @kamalaharris.  And now she has, identifying herself as a “childless cat lady”.  This could spur many of her army of Swifties - some of whom are already organizing for Harris - to vote, and to vote for Harris.  In close races in swi…

  As I've said before, Taylor Swift may be the cultural lynchpin for addressing abusive AI imitation and I think this was her personal opening salvo. [image]

• @swiftonsecurity @swiftonsecurity on x

  Taylor Swift was previously driven to political advocacy partly by right-wing memes of her aping Hilter on genetic purity. I think she takes INCREDIBLE personal exception to herself being used as a puppet and this directly aligns with it. Directly addressed to political leaders.

• @swiftonsecurity @swiftonsecurity on x

  Something I've noted previously is that Taylor Swift works on her own timeline as a measure of power. Her PR is _extremely_ tight. People ask why she doesn't immediately address things, it's because she knows how to ride publicity for impact. She is, after all, Taylor Swift.
