The Instagram Post That Sparked Speculation
The European Leg of the Eras Tour

Late Tuesday night, she posted a collection of photos from her shows in Warsaw, Poland. Among these images, one in particular caught the attention of eagle-eyed fans.
The Mysterious Silhouette

Fan Reactions and Social Media Buzz
Social Media Frenzy
The speculation quickly spread across social media platforms, with fans and users discussing the potential endorsement. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “It really feels like it should be a bigger deal that Taylor Swift left a shadow of Kamala on her Instagram post but I don’t really see anyone talking about it.” Another user added, “[Swift] is lowkey endorsing @KamalaHarris on @instagram. No public statement yet, besides this pic.”
The Harris/Walz Campaign
Harris Announces Running Mate
On Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris announced that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz would be her running mate for the 2024 presidential election. The pair made their first joint appearance at a rally in Philadelphia, where Walz took the opportunity to criticize their opponents, labeling JD Vance as “weird.” Walz posted on X, “I’ll just say it. Donald Trump and JD Vance are creepy and, yes, weird. We are not going back.”
Campaign Fundraising Success
Following the announcement of Walz as her vice-presidential pick, the Harris campaign reported raising over $20 million. As Harris begins to edge ahead in national polls, the potential endorsement from Swift could be a game-changer, given her immense influence over millions of young voters.
