Can someone (preferably american) explain to me this whole endorsing thing? It's so bizarre to me as a British person. Does it just mean they're saying publicly who they're voting for? 

I mean, if you need your fav celeb or pop girl to make your choice, you probably shouldn't be voting in the first place.

Plus it tends to have the opposite effect. Look at 2016, nearly everyone in the media endorsed Hillary and the general public got annoyed... I love watching reactions to trumps win lmfao especially the Big Brother US one where the one girl said she thought trump would win and everyone looked at her with a weird look and she was so smug afterwards when big brother revealed the result 😂 

American politics is madness. Sad that RFK dropped out and endorsed Trump. Despite some past stories that make me dislike him, he is the best choice for the country.

Trump will likely win, Elon head of efficiency commission, RFK head of health/FDA or whatever you guys have over there. I cant wait to see what happens. I see Elon being a respected historical figure, idk why I just feel it. I also feel he will run for president one day. I like him, I relate to him with his autism too, everyone says I'm like him with my mannerisms that's prob why I like him aha

you like creepy, weird, transphonic, hypocritical elon musk?

This is one of the most important moments in American history– perhaps as important as the founding fathers' deliberations at the 1787 Constitutional Convention. Taylor has singlehandedly shattered the divide between entertainment and governance and united her fans– and therefore the world– against one of the most polarizing figures in modern history. 

The endorsement is the fusion of Taylor's twenty years of artistry and America's 300 years of democracy. We are entering uncharted waters where the whims of one single American– and a woman at that– can dictate national discourse. People thought the "Oprah effect" was a big deal for Obama in 2008 but Taylor has a much wider reach and far more streams on Spotify and Grammys than Oprah, Katy, and Obama combined.

We can forget everything we knew about politics– we are entering a new Era™ of Swiftian discourse and this new political framework will be the status quo for the rest of the history of mankind.

You said many flop things in your comment but just fyi Elon can never run for president because he is not a US-born citizen

It's just a celebrity coming out and saying they're voting for XYZ. It's not unique to American politics. Like Carol Vorderman constantly advocating for Labour

Arguably Carol is more famous

Gaga liked her Insta post

Finally.

This could be the endorsement that secures her the win.

We say that, but idk anymore if that would stop him if he wanted to. The republican party allowed Ted Cruz to run in the primaries and he was born in Canada.

That dude is so nasty. Just saw him saying the US should’ve never let gays get married cause that’s what started the downfall of society

I just saw an article on Facebook saying that some link that Taylor shared brought more than 400K visitors to the website. Don't know if it's good considering her fans seem to be mostly white girls probably coming from republican families

That makes sense. They've been using her music in the campaign a lot so I've not doubt they've been in contact for at least a little bit now.

Honestly given how silent Team Swift was immediately after the AI stuff there's no doubt in my mind that this endorsement tonight was a highly choreographed moment by Team Harris & Team Swift designed for maximum impact.

yeah, I wonder why Taylor didn't support Biden when he needed it - perhaps she already knew things we didn't and they let her know in advance that they will replace Biden and she shall keep it for later and should not endorse Biden. It's very 'choreographed', as you call it.

Honestly it's far more likely that there was no endorsement for Biden because it was still early. It was like 5 months out. 

Endorsements and their effects are disputed and it's not a really clear picture on how valuable they are. But everyone who's tried to analyse their impacts agrees that the closer to a key date they are the more valuable they are. People have short attention spans/most people only start engaging with the election process when early voting starts etc. 
So if some idiot is going to vote Blue because Taylor is, you want her to tell them early enough that they haven't voted but late enough that it's nearly time to vote. 

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they rushed out the Swift endorsement after the debate to solidify Harris's win in the media cycle and swallow any available space for Trump and that the endorsement was originally planned for the first day of early voting opening.
