Source tells The U.S. Sun Taylor has seen problems in the United States and thinks Kamala Harris is the right person to solve them

TAYLOR Swift spoke directly to Kamala Harris on two separate occasions before making the bombshell public endorsement of her push for the White House, The U.S. Sun has been told.

A source close to the Cruel Summer star’s entourage stressed that the singing superstar is convinced the current vice president is “the only option” ahead of the November election battle with Donald Trump.

The U.S. Sun revealed last month that Taylor was ready to endorse Harris once the blockbuster European leg of her Eras tour ended.

PRESIDENTIAL PUSH

According to the insider, President Joe Biden’s camp desperately wanted her to rescue his faltering push for a second term before the Democrats pulled the plug on his campaign in July and pivoted to Harris.

But with Taylor, who backed Biden in 2020, now enjoying some downtime before she starts performing again in North America next month, she readily took the opportunity to post a message of endorsement on Instagram just moments after the contentious debate on Tuesday night in Philadelphia.

“She felt she needed to speak out as the election process is getting more intense,” the well-placed source told The U.S Sun.

“The time just felt right.”

The insider confirmed Taylor had spoken to Harris “a couple of times on the phone” lately and knows exactly how significant the build-up to polling day on November 5 is for every American.

“Taylor is very aware of the problems, issues, and struggles that many people go through in the country,” continued the source. “She thinks Kamala is the only option to help create a better society and America for everyone.”

CALL TO ARMS

Her scathing takedown of Trump’s running mate JD Vance, who sparked outrage with his now infamous “childless cat ladies” jibe, spread like wildfire on social media less than an hour after the often fiery debate between Trump and Harris concluded in Philadelphia.

Trump, who dubbed his performance “his best debate ever,” surprisingly repeated wild conspiracy theories about immigrants eating dogs and cats in Ohio, with Harris riling the 78-year-old about his criminal convictions handed down to him earlier this year.

Debate night highlights…

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris engaged in a fiery debate where, at times, the former president seemed enraged and frustrated.
Vice President Harris tried to get under Trump’s skin by bringing up his ties to Project 2025, his criminal conviction in New York, his rally crowd sizes, and the various indictments he’s facing.
Trump went off script when he repeated wild conspiracies about immigrants eating dogs and cats in Springfield, Ohio.

“They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there,” Trump said as Harris laughed and shook her head.
In one instance, Trump seemingly threw his running mate, JD Vance, under the bus and blamed him for miscommunication about his stance on a national abortion ban.
Despite his subpar moments, Trump dubbed his performance “his best debate ever.”
A Harris spokesperson called for a second debate in October.

Taylor has nailed her political allegiances to the mast during previous elections.

INCREDIBLE INFLUENCE

But with the race becoming nail-bitingly close, and knowing the influence she has over her millions of fans, the time was right to make a stand against Trump’s push for a return to the Oval Office.

“It is very important for her to voice her opinion and show support for who she thinks will be best for the country, and she is very proud and excited for Kamala Harris to have the possibility to become the next president and that woman can be in this position,” said the source.

“Taylor is an artist that wants to be engaged socially, to speak about causes that she values a lot and that has a lot that she likes on Kamala Harris’s vision and perspectives for America.”

The Shake It Off star wrote to her 283 million followers on Instagram that she not only did she back Harris for the White House, but laid bare her anger at AI tools “falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site.”

“It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation,” she wrote.

“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.

“I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election.”
