New York: Taylor Swift has yet to weigh in on the US presidential race, but some of her superfans are already stumping for Kamala Harris.

As of Wednesday midday "Swifties for Kamala" had raised more than $140,000 in favor of the Democratic White House hopeful.

They held an inaugural fundraising call the evening prior that was joined by some 27,000 viewers, launching the effort aimed at "turning our swiftie power into political power," as the group's political director put it during the meeting.

Stars like Carole King along with Senators Elizabeth Warren and Kirsten Gillibrand appeared in the virtual meeting.

"I am a swiftie, and Taylor and I are actually friends," King, the legendary singer-songwriter behind hits including "I Feel The Earth Move" and "You've Got A Friend" said on the call.
