Carole King, Elizabeth Warren and others join ‘Swifties for Kamala’ call: ‘As single cat ladies…we are part of this campaign’

Taylor Swift fans joined artists like Carole King and politicians including Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand for a Zoom call organized by the group “Swifties for Kamala” in an effort to mobilize fans of the pop star to vote for Kamala Harris.

Left-leaning Taylor Swift fans joined artists like Carole King and politicians, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, for a Zoom call organized by the group “Swifties for Kamala” in an effort to mobilize fans of the pop superstar to vote for Kamala Harris. Swift herself has no affiliation with the group and was not involved in the call on Tuesday. CNN has reached out to Swift’s representative for comment on the event. “Swifties for Kamala” has amassed roughly a quarter of a million followers across multiple social media platforms since President Joe Biden announced he would not seek a second term and endorsed Vice President Harris. To date, the group has raised over $13,000 for the Harris-Walz campaign. More than 26,000 participants registered to join the Tuesday evening call, which was attended by CNN and also featured remarks by Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT) and chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party Anderson Clayton. Irene Kim, the co-founder of “Swifties for Kamala,” had previously told CNN the group was hopeful Harris or her running mate, Tim Walz, might join the call, though neither were present. “Hello Swifties!” is how Warren, the first speaker of the night, greeted the group as heart, thumbs up and party emojis flowed through the Zoom stream.
