The Trump troglodytes have no concept of the power of the Tsunami about to hit.
Taylor Swift’s exquisitely timed endorsement of Kamala Harris & Tim Walz immediately after Harris led Trump to immolate himself in front of 67 million viewers during the ABC-TV debate on September 10, 2024, was only the beginning of watching the torch being passed to a new generation of Americans.
Sure, Swift’s Instagram account has 230 million followers, and as soon as she issued an excellently worded endorsement (reprinted below), the non-MAGA mega Rock Star’s announcement became almost as a big a story as how Harris hog-tied the mendacious, mean and felonious swine on the other side of the stage from her.
Swift-fictionados would have immediately recognized the striking similarities between the vicious music critic who called the performer “young and dumb,” in 2010, prompting the artist to write the song “Mean” on her Third Album, “Speak Now,” and Donald Trump, who called Kamala Harris “dumb as a rock,” before Harris brilliantly demolished him during the debate.
Like Harris, Swift masterfully dismantled the miserable misogynist who called her “dumb,” in the Song “Mean.” Here are some of the lyrics:
“Someday, I’ll be big enough, so you can’t hit me
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion, but nobody’s listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can’t sing
All you are is mean
All you are is mean
And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
But someday, I’ll be living in a big old city
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday, I’ll be big enough, so you can’t hit me
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
Someday, I’ll be big enough, so you can’t hit me (why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?”

Not only did the mean, mendacious men underestimate Taylor Swift and Kamala Harris, but they woefully miscalculated the call to direct action and change that these two powerful women represent. During Swift’s brief Instagram endorsement, she shared a link to Vote.gov, where her fans could find info on where to register to vote or update their voter registration. Vote.gov is the official government website run by the US General Services Administration (GSA), an independent government agency.
As NPR reported:
“In the 24-hour window that Swift’s story was live on Instagram, a GSA spokesperson told NPR that there had been 405,999 visitors to the Vote.gov website via her unique link. That’s more than 13 times more visitors than a typical day on the site…
“Vote.org, a separate voter group that provides registration information and guidance, told NPR that more than 52,000 people registered to vote from its’ platform, and more than 144,000 checked their registration status in the period shortly after Swift’s endorsement on Tuesday night through midday Thursday, September 12, 2004.”
CBS National News reported on September 12, that:
“Harris’ campaign quickly embraced the support of one of the world’s most influential pop stars. The campaign soon began selling Harris/Walz friendship bracelets, the fashion accessory that millions of Swift fans have worn to her Eras Tour around the world. The bracelets sold out by Wednesday.”
As anticipated, the avalanche of “SwiftVoting” already being heaped upon Harris & Walz is driving Trump & his troglodytes into tongue-tied tirades. Trump bitterly barked out that “she will pay a price in the marketplace,” and that—in true Trump teenaged tantrum style—nyah, nyahed that he liked “Brittany Mahomes,” better.
JD Vance, Trump’s mini-me, who owes his entire political career to weirdo billionaire Peter Thiel (who believes democracy and freedom are not compatible), whined that “I don’t think most Americans, whether they like her music or are fans of hers or not, are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who I think is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans.”
Ha. So much for what JD knows, who continues to demonstrate that his initials stand for “Just Dumb.” Like Trump, JD is completely clueless to the power of “SwiftVoting.”
Reprinted below is the full endorsement of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz by Taylor Swift, as it appeared on Instagram, on the evening of September 10, 2024:
“Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country.
Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.
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 and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.
I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.
With love and hope,
Taylor Swift
