‘Childless Cat Lady’
Arguably the biggest pop music phenomenon on planet earth currently, Taylor Swift posted a lengthy message on her Instagram account explaing her reasons for supporting Kamala Harris.
“I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader”, claimed the singer-songwriter who is wrapping up her extensive and record breaking Eras Tour.
Swift signed off a ‘childless cat lady’, a barbed reference to JD Vance’s comments that the US was being run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies,” including Vice President Harris.
