Ciara, can you share the very subtle endorsement?

If you go to slide 7, it's a picture from the Lover set and her backup dancer's silhouette which looks like Harris walking towards the blue shaded White House. Sounds wild and a leap but I don't think it was accidental. She has dropped plenty of easter eggs in these post-show photos to date.

I think something else not to subtle will come.

Thanks, hadn't heard anything. Your point about not being more openly politcally partisan due to security concerns seems a sensible, though unfortunate, one...

What a great night at Wembley. Got very lucky with the surprise songs. She started singing Everything has Changed then stopped, saying it just wasn’t right. Cue appearance of Ed Sheeran, 3 song mash up with End Game and Thinking out Loud.

[disgraced cake]

Glad I wasn't there to see Ed Sheeran. I hope he's gutted tomorrow too when Arne's mighty bald reds put Ipswich to the sword.

Why is she so quiet about Trump using AI to claim she endorsed him ?

[Graeme]

I see she had a couple of the girls who survived the attack in Southport as guests at Wembley. A few photos of the girls with Taylor backstage. Fair play to her, I’m fairly sure that it’s never her or her people that publicise these gestures as well, she’s not doing it for any gain.

I would imagine she is very unhappy at what has happened. And I would be really confident her team will be moving behind the scenes to take action - however, the longer it goes unaddressed the more it feels like people would be stupid enough to believe it.

Though the biggest damage she could do to him would to make an official endorsement for KH/TW. I always felt this would happen but after Trump's shooting and her cancelled Vienna shows due to terrorist threats, I wonder if there would be doubts in her camp. She hasn't spoken about Vienna at all - not even to cancel the shows, the tour promoter/venue announced it and her team's social media pages re-posted it. Nothing official, which I assume is under orders from goverments.

Interestingly her publicist was seen flying out of London yesterday or the day before. Wouldn't be surprised if that was linked, as she missed the very last Wembley show.

[Trada]

I was watching the news earlier and there is a rumour she may turn up at Democratic convention I bet they would love her to introduce Kamala Harris for her speech  if that does happen.

Very nice!! I can imagine the atmosphere was electric for that. Surprised they didn't do Run or The Joker And The Queen instead of one of his own - might that be the only non-TS song she has performed in 131 shows? I can't think of another one.

I was lucky to be there last night. I was so sure Reputation (TV) was coming but once Florence + the Machine came out, I knew it wouldn't happen. And then Jack Antonoff appeared for DBATC and Getaway Car and then I was so sure again! But wasn't to be. Delighted to hear So Long, London and a nice bonus at the end with the music video annoucement.

VMAs in a few weeks, where that infamous Kanye West stage crash happened. Maybe that's the full circle moment and it will be announced then if she wins anything.

Just seen this, her silence is maddening though.

Swift in 2020 strongly denounced Trump's reaction to the protests against the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police and accused him of being a racial arsonist.

"After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence?" she wrote on Twitter. "‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November."

Glad you got Florence, she’s great.

I’m expecting Reputation TV between now and the Canada leg to keep us all going.

As for Trump, there’s no way she won’t endorse Harris. She’s had 6 years of abuse from the MAGA morons and she knows how important this is for the US and for her fans.

Nice one Taylor  (endorses Kamala)

Get in you childless cat woman! 👏

I find it hard to imagine many Swifties supporting/voting for Trump, even if she does have a country background, so I suspect it won't make all that much difference - in fact I doubt celebrity endorsements generally have much of an impact on election results in the US / UK - but it's definitely welcome and the timing is good after Harris' debate performance.

I think the bigger thing is convincing young fans to vote at all, staying at home seems to be common in the US.

Just read that Oprah Winfrey with her endorsement of Obama garnered about a million votes. What is welcome is that the orange kid will be furious, try not to show it and fail miserably.

Like you said great timing to keep the momentum going for Harris.

Exactly.
It's not about flipping opinions, it's about boosting the young wave that otherwise wouldn't vote.
Bad day for Trump.

^ Swiftie Moms that went to the shows will also be important in the swing states.

This is very true. I do find it bizarre that people would be apathetic to the possibility of having Trump as their president but then the same thing happens in the UK.

Some celebs clearly have more clout and influence than others. Taylor Swift's views will carry a lot of weight with young voters, just as Oprah had an influence in 2008. I think it's rare though for celebrities to make a significant difference - no-one is going to vote Harris because George Clooney endorses her for example, despite the fact he's a film star.

[Alvador]

It’s purely about voter turnout. If she can inspire a few hundred thousand young women to go out and vote who previously had no interest or knowledge of politics then that’s good news.

It'll have to do 

[BarryCrocker]

She also just did this.

Taylor Swift has once again dominated the MTV Video Music Awards, becoming the most decorated solo artist at the VMAs of all time after winning seven categories, including the night’s top award, video of the year.

Swift, who was already the most nominated artist at the start of the evening, ended it by surpassing Beyoncé’s record set as a solo artist, winning her 30th VMA. Beyoncé has won 25 VMAs as a solo artist, two with Destiny’s Child and two with Jay-Z as the Carters.

Stay safe, Taylor.

[Schmarn]

Stay safe, Taylor.

I was thinking the same after hearing about Trump’s “I hate Taylor” tweet. His lunatic supporters are capable of anything. He really is a vile c*nt.

Very glad she refuses to be silenced.
