Taylor Swift Follows Up Kamala Harris Endorsement With Plea To Fans At VMAs
HuffPost
Swift had an important message for fans during MTV's annual music celebration.
Taylor Swift chose her words carefully while talking about 2024 election at the MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday night.
Though the superstar caused a stir with her endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris earlier this week, Swift stopped short of directly weighing in on politics during the music-packed show at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.
As the “Fortnight” singer thanked her followers for voting for her to win the much-coveted Video of the Year honor, she reminded people about another important contest on the horizon.
“The fact this is a fan-voted award and you voted for this, I appreciate it so much,” she told the cheering audience. “And if you are over 18, please register to vote for something else that’s very important coming up: the 2024 presidential election.”
Swift left the stage without outright suggesting which candidate to support.
