The Democratic Nation Convention is in full swing and celebrity sightings are aplenty in Chicago. While Vice President Kamala Harris‘ campaign representatives have announced some bold-faced names hosting each night, including Kerry Washington, many music fans are wondering if Taylor Swift is squeezing in an appearance.
Well, Deadline got the answer that everyone has been waiting for, and it might be a disappointing one for Swifties. “Everybody loves Taylor, but having her here would overshadow everything,” a source told the outlet. Their explanation makes a lot of sense, and we think it’s something the “Cruel Summer” singer would agree with. “Think about it, no one would remember a word the Vice President said in her acceptance speech,” they added. “All the headlines would be about Swift.”
Swift would never want to hog the spotlight knowing that it’s a crucial election for the Democrats and a tight race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The Democrats’ candidate shift in the middle of the campaign has enjoyed surprising momentum with Kamala Harris taking the reins from President Joe Biden, and a Swift appearance wouldn’t “help” them right now. However, they might be looking for assistance as it gets closer to the November election.
It’s also important to note that Swift has not endorsed a candidate yet, even though Donald Trump made a misleading post on Truth Social on Sunday, Aug. 18 that made it look like she gave her stamp of approval to him. The AI-generated image had Swifties up in arms and they are voicing their opinions. “Does Donald Trump realize that Taylor Swift hasn’t said ANYTHING about this election yet? And by posting a fake AI photo of her supporting him forces her to play her hand,” one account wrote on X. “Bro, she doesn’t like you, and she will make sure everyone knows that.”
It’s not unreasonable to think that Swift might endorse Kamala Harris in the coming weeks because she threw her support toward Joe Biden in 2020. “I will proudly vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in this year’s presidential election. Under their leadership, I believe America has a chance to start the healing process it so desperately needs,” she said in V Magazine. The Democrats will likely try to woo her for a campaign event if they can, too. They already have Beyoncé giving her blessing to use her song, “Freedom,” so it isn’t out of the question that Swift will be onboard soon.
