Former sports reporter Michele Tafoya is not a fan of Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala Harris.
After weeks of speculation on whether or not the “childless cat lady” would share her political leanings this election cycle, Swift took to Instagram following the debate between Harris and Trump on September 10 to share that she is indeed voting for Democrats.
“I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,” Swift wrote in her caption, alongside a photo of her with her cat. “I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”
Michele Tafoya was not happy with this.
In a video posted to X, the former NBC and ESPN sideline reporter can be seen not speaking and holding up a series of white posters with writing on them, just as Taylor Swift famously did during the music video for her 2009 hit song “You Belong to Me.”
Tafoya’s posters questioned Swfit’s decision to endorse Harris.
“Dear Taylor: Did you research this?” the first two cards read before continuing, “Child poverty at a 5-year high. Jobless claims up.”

Tafoya took it further by naming several people who have allegedly been killed by immigrants over the course of the Democratic nominee’s time as vice president.
Among the names shown to Taylor Swift was 11-year-old Aiden Clark from Springfield, Ohio. His name being brought up is notable since his father recently spoke out against Donald Trump and Republicans using his son’s name for political gain.
Other slides directed to Taylor Swift read “Title IX” and “Inflation,” before she signed off by taking a dig at Swift and referring to herself as a “childless cat lady.”
Taylor Swift Endorsing Kamala Harris Infuriates Donald Trump
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, you’ll hear about Swift’s seismic endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Swift announced last week on Instagram that she’ll be voting for Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election.
On Sunday, the former president and current Republican nominee, Donald Trump, was bold enough to take her and her followers with a scathing message.
In a post to his social media site Truth Social, Trump simply wrote, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”
