Taylor Swift’s Kamala Harris endorsement has caused a donation frenzy — and Donald Trump

Around breakfast time, Swift’s Instagram post appeared with a photo of her TIME Person of the Year photoshoot of her cuddling with the one and only Benjamin Button (the cat, no Brad Pitt in prosthetics) had garnered over 8.7 million likes and counting. Conservatives had also had time to have their say, including Elon Musk tweeted an aggressively creepy “offer” to “give you a child and guard your cats with my life,” which, Bahand Trump calling to Fox & Friends Wednesday to basically paraphrase the bridge from “We Are Never Getting Back Together” and say that he always Brittany Mahomes better than Taylor anyway, so there. He doesn’t even do it want to her approval, okay? Even though he’s said multiple times in the past that he did, and even used AI-generated images to pretend she approved of him, he does not do. Nyah nyah, etc., and so on.

“Well, I actually like Ms. Mahomes a lot better, if you want to know the truth,” Trump said when asked if Swift would speak to her. “She’s a big Trump fan. I was not a Taylor Swift fan. It was just a matter of time. You can’t possibly support Biden. But she’s a very liberal person. She always seems to support a Democrat and she’ll probably pay a price for that in the marketplace. But I like Brittany. Brittany is great. She’s the one I like a lot better than Taylor Swift. Wife of the great quarterback. I think she’s great.”

Representatives for Brittany Mahomes did not respond to Vanity Fair‘s request for comment.

The political organizing group Swifties for Kamala, which is not officially affiliated with Swift and has said it doesn’t feel it needs to wait for an official endorsement from Swift to take action, predicted in a press release that “that impact will only grow thanks to Taylor’s endorsement.” Co-founder and executive director Irene Kim said: “We knew she would speak when the time was right and we are so excited to continue the fight.”

The group said it has more than 3,500 active volunteers and has raised more than $158,000 for Harris’ campaign. The group’s kickoff call included speakers such as senators. Elizabeth Warren And Kirsten Gillibrandwith music icon Carole King performing an improvised snippet of Swift’s “Shake It Off.”

Baby, let the games begin, indeed.
