As the Presidential Debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris took the internet by storm, Taylor Swift chimed in on the conversation, showing her support for the latter candidate. Elon Musk couldn’t hold back either, clapping back at Taylor Swift with an intriguing response.
Pop-culture icon Taylor Swift has been criticized for maintaining her distance from the ongoing political situation in America. With over 283 million followers on Instagram, the singer endorsed Harris.
Moreover, the support came minutes after the candidates’ debate, giving Harris a surprising celebrity backup. As the candidate targeted young voters, the help from the global star couldn’t have come at a better time.
Through her Instagram post, Swift wrote, “I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. 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.“
Following such a message, the singer signed off her post as Childless Cat Lady, referring to JD Vance’s comment about women without children. Vance has also referred to Harris by the same name as the politician who doesn’t have biological children.
As the post gained massive fan attention, Elon Musk pushed himself into the conversation, relentlessly promoting Trump for the presidential run. Previously, Trump had agreed to the businessman’s commission to increase government efficiency.
Musk tweeted, “Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,” which has received over 2.4 million views and nearly 50K likes and impressions.
Musk’s statement implied that the singer could not change the election results or people’s image of Trump, but this wasn’t the first time the businessman had poked Taylor to get a reaction from her.
Fans blame Elon Musk and Twitter for suspending Taylor Swift’s account after the debate!
Despite Musk’s words, the voting website received 35K new registrations after her post, and she continued to post about Harris in her stories.
In addition to her endorsement, Taylor spoke against Trump, as the politician previously called the singer liberal but beautiful, which quickly became a joke among Trump supporters. She also questioned Trump’s transparency as he promoted AI through social media.
With such political standing, Musk often targeted Taylor as he tried to get her attention. When Time named her Person of the Year, the businessman joked that the singer might suffer a decline in popularity.

Apart from such comments, he has repeatedly advised the singer on ways to promote her music. During her 1989 (Taylor’s Version) release, Musk wrote, “I recommend posting some music or concert videos directly on the X platform.“
Such comments have always been followed by outrage from millions of Taylor’s fans, which haven’t affected Musk. Even with his recent tweet, the businessman received several hate comments.
One of the Twitter users remarked, “Baby try looking after the child you already have who hates you,” when Musk teased about giving a child to Taylor as she spoke for women.
Also, Musk poked fun at the ongoing cat and dog controversy by offering to protect Swift’s cats: Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button.
Meanwhile, speculations about Elon Musk dating Taylor Swift have been circulating amidst the controversy. Many claim that the constant bickering might make the two individuals develop feelings for one another.
However, people should not take such statements lightly. Musk’s fans have been running this joke for the longest time due to their contrasting political beliefs with the singer, who follows Democratic ideas.
