Swift expressed her support for Harris and running mate Tim Walz five days ago, just after the vice president challenged Trump.

The musician, who is 34 years old, stated on Instagram, "I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election," added, "I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos."

Liz Cheney, a former congresswoman and frequent Trump political opponent, summed up the common reaction to Sunday's post by recalling the title of a Swift song and commenting on X: "Says the smallest man who ever lived."

Meanwhile, Swift urged her followers to vote as she accepted the Video of the Year award at MTV's Video Music Awards presentation in Elmont, New York, on Wednesday evening.

"If you are over 18, please register to vote for something else that's very important … [the] presidential election," she told the crowd.

Though Trump now claims to despise Swift, it wasn't long ago that he evidently desired her endorsement. He shared pictures created by artificial intelligence that implied Swift had endorsed Trump for president in August.

One photo depicted Swift costumed as Uncle Sam, with the caption, "Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump."

The former president also shared deepfakes of young women sporting "Swifties for Trump" shirts on his Truth Social Account, commenting, "I accept!"

Swift stated that Trump's posts influenced her choice to make her endorsement.

"It really heightened my fears about AI and the dangers of spreading misinformation," she remarked on Instagram. "It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter."

‎'Soulm8te' Review: M3GAN-Verse Spinoff Offers Stylish AI Horror, Sex and Suspense

Image
‎Soulm8te is the kind of film that seems tailor-made for directors known for provocative thrillers like Paul Verhoeven, Brian De Palma or Adrian Lyne. With a screenplay from Joe Eszterhas, it could have leaned even further into its provocative premise. Instead, director Kate Dolan and co-writer Rafael Jordan craft a polished erotic thriller inspired by the slick, sensational films of the 1980s and 1990s, updating that formula for the artificial intelligence era with a dangerous android companion at its center. ‎ ‎Soulm8te delivers stylish AI-fueled thrills, strong performances and pulpy horror, but its satire lacks the bite needed to truly stand out. ‎Courtesy of Universal Pictures Home Entertainment ‎ ‎The movie blends sex, violence and cautionary themes about AI technology, even delivering a warning about the risks of enhanced vaginal grip. While it embraces its lurid premise, this android-driven Fatal Attraction rarely reaches the level of outrageous fun that its concept...

'House of the Dragon' Season 3 Finale: Ryan Condal Explains Rhaenyra’s Big Book Change

Image
‎The Season 3 finale of House of the Dragon takes Rhaenyra Targaryen’s story in a direction that significantly differs from George R.R. Martin’s Fire and Blood.

She orders the immediate execution of a faith leader who has become a political rival. Although her wider rampage remains bloodless, the moment is still presented as deeply unsettling. ‎ ‎Her most significant action, however, comes when she stands before the masses of King’s Landing and declares that the White Walkers are coming and that only she can stop them as the prophesied Prince Who Was Promised. ‎ ‎That revelation is not found in Fire and Blood, t...
