Can we not doubt Taylor Swift anymore? People were giving her a real hard time but she planned this.

That is a perfectly worded endorsement press release, and you know it wasn't written after the debate because of the team she has working for her.
She knew tonight's endorsement would also call attention to the debate performance also.
Would not be surprised if it was coordinated with the campaign too.

That's one opinion. Did you see Maddow read her endorsement to Walz? The Harris campaign probably didn't PortTack Sep 10 #7

But she endorsed Biden in 2020, so those assumptions never made sense. I always thought it was just a matter of time, and the timing is perfect.

I watched the debate, I’ve explored the issues, I’ve learned about the candidates history.

You should do the same. And here’s what I think you’ll learn.

Great post. So on brand for her.

It was a very tough decision because she will be deluged with death threats.

She is one brave woman, she will lead an army of young people to the polls.

Plan this, but don’t doubt Taylor Swift’s timing! She doesn’t draw hundreds of thousands to her concerts without a great deal of planning! It’s perfect!

Instead, the Taylor endorsement story is competing with Kamala's debate performance, for the current news cycle....

only said the timing would have been better if it happened in a separate news cycle.

as a political junkie might have done!
