In a press conference, Kelce stated, “Look, when Taylor Swift says something, you listen,” explaining that Swift’s intelligence and thoughtful decision-making process led him to consider Harris more seriously. He added, “Taylor made the right choice, and I’m here to back her up,” emphasizing his belief in standing up for what he believes in.
Kelce’s endorsement follows Swift’s own vocal support for Harris, which garnered a mixed reaction from fans and sparked debate about the role of celebrities in political discourse. While some praised Swift for using her platform, others criticized her for alienating fans with differing political views.
The convergence of Swift’s and Kelce’s endorsements has amplified the focus on the influence of celebrity endorsements in the 2024 election. Political commentators are divided on the potential impact, with some suggesting the combined reach of the couple could sway younger voters, while others view it as a publicity stunt.
