SEE ALSO: Is it 'Kamala' or 'Harris'? The answer is complicated.Swifties logged onto Zoom, streamed on YouTube, X / Twitter, and Instagram to hear fellow Taylor Swift fans, politicians like Senator Elizabeth Warren and Senator Ed Markey, organizers including Annie Wu Henry and Indivisible's Kim McMurray, and Carole King make Swiftian puns and encourage Swifties to mobilize. The group raised over $100,000 over the course of the two-hour call.
The fans operate independently of Swift, aiming to leverage their organizing skill set as fans for Harris. Rohan Reagan, a representative for Swifties for Kamala, told Cosmopolitanlast week: "We are not waiting on Taylor to show her support for Kamala Harris. We are doing this outside of her, using the platform of Swifties as a way to get people involved in the election. Taylor did throw her support toward Joe Biden during the 2020 election, so it is possible that she’ll show her support again. But Swifties for Kamala aren’t waiting for her to do that."
