Sources inside Coca-Cola hint that the company’s decision was less about Harris herself and more about the idea that a political endorsement could alienate half of their consumers, a prospect far scarier than flat soda. “We’re a bipartisan beverage,” one anonymous executive explained. “Our product is for everyone—Democrats, Republicans, independents, Libertarians, people who just want to enjoy a cold drink without getting lectured about politics.”
While Coca-Cola might be distancing itself from Swift, the pop icon doesn’t seem too shaken. After all, if there’s one thing Taylor Swift knows how to do, it’s turning adversity into hit records. In response to Coca-Cola’s announcement, Swift released a statement on her social media platforms, accompanied by a perfectly filtered photo of herself holding a glass of water—no soda in sight.
“While I’ve always loved Diet Coke, I’ll be just fine without it,” Swift wrote in the post. “What I won’t be fine with is staying silent about the issues that matter to me. My endorsement of Kamala Harris comes from the heart, and if that’s too much for some companies, then so be it. I’ll continue to use my platform to speak out on the issues that matter, regardless of who stays by my side.”
