A Brief History of Swift’s Political Involvement

Swift stayed out of politics until 2018, when she posted a message on Instagram endorsing Democratic candidates in her home state of Tennessee.

In Miss Americana, a 2020 Netflix documentary about her life, she said she was running against Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican, in the 2018 midterm elections.

“I have to be on the right side of history,” she said.

In 2020, after Harris said on Twitter that she felt “honored” to join Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket, Swift publicly celebrated her nomination by responding to the tweet with, “YES.”

Later that year, in October, she publicly endorsed Biden, explaining why in an article in V Magazine’s Thought Leaders Issue and sharing a photo of herself with “Biden Harris 2020” cookies on Twitter the same day the magazine was published.

Since then, she has condemned the overturning of Roe v. Wade, urged fans to vote in the 2022 midterm elections, and inspired tens of thousands of new voters to register in 2023.

A representative for Swift did not respond to Business Insider’s requests for comment outside of business hours.
