Taylor Swift’s friend Blake Lively joins A-listers Jennifer Aniston, Oprah and Katie Holmes in sharing support for her Kamala Harris endorsement after debate
She rallied her fans after delivering a surprise endorsement of Democratic Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris shortly after her debate on Tuesday against Donald Trump.
And Taylor Swift also got plenty of support for her Instagram post from her celebrity pals and admirers.
Among those pressing ‘like’ on her post were several of her close friends, including Blake Lively, Selena Gomez, Suki Waterhouse and her former BFF Karlie Kloss.
But the 34-year-old Shake It Off singer was also inundated by support from other stars, including Jennifer Aniston, Oprah and Katie Holmes, among many others.
The list of celebrities liking Taylor’s post skewed heavily female and included actors and performers at all levels of stardom, though the A-list was particularly represented.
Some of the stars liking the post have previously made high-profile endorsements of their own, or spoken out publicly about politics, such as Oprah Winfrey.
The talk show host — who captivated the audience at the Democratic National Convention shortly after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorse Harris — was among those showing her support.
Others, such as country singer Maren Morris and Chrissy Teigen, are already well known for sharing their political opinions on social media.
Several of the stars were movers and shakers in Hollywood, like prolific film and television producer Reese Witherspoon and actress-turned-filmmaker Olivia Wilde.
Other actresses supporting Swift and her post included film stars Jennifer Garner, Katie Holmes, Michelle Pfeiffer, Lupita Nyong’o and Rachel Zegler
Actresses who are best known for television also had her back, though several of them also have thriving film careers. Kerry Washington, Aubrey Plaza, Quinta Brunson, Mandy Moore, Mindy Kaling, Kristin Davis, Ashley Tisdale, Jessica Alba, Hilary Duff and Lili Reinhart all pressed the ‘like’ button.
Taylor also had fellow musicians lining up behind her, including Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato, Charli XCX and Chloe Bailey, while John Legend was one of the few male A-listers who took the time to like her post.
Reality TV was also represented thanks to Bravo’s Andy Cohen and former Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna.
Swift’s fans showed their support for her endorsement after she branded herself a ‘childless cat lady’ — a reference to widely criticized remarks from Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump’s running mate JD Vance — which inspired numerous social media users to get behind her.
‘Childless cat ladies unite!’ wrote one user on X (formerly Twitter) in response to Swift’s surprise endorsement.
To underscore the jab, she posed with her fluffy Ragdoll cat Benjamin Button.
Her social media post garnered praise from fans after some Swifties took Taylor to task for cozying up to her friend Brittany Mahomes, despite her support for Donald Trump.
After noting that she had watched Tuesday night’s debate between Harris and Trump, she explained that she was publicly endorsing Harris to clarify her position after AI-generated images that falsely claimed she had endorsed Trump were spread across the internet.
‘I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,’ she declared.
Swift added that she was supporting Harris ‘because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,’ and she praised her runningmate Walz for ‘standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.’
Although Taylor’s post seemed to be a hit with her fans, it was also well received by fellow celebrities on Instagram who rushed to give it a ‘like.’
Several Swifties who reacted positively to the pop star’s endorsement were of the opinion that it was the final push Harris needed to push her over the finish line.
‘OMG!!’ wrote another excited fan while including a gif of Taylor cheering that read, ‘Let’s go!’ They added the hashtag #TaylorSwiftforHarrisWalz.
Others imagined Swift celebrating after shaking up the campaigns with her endorsement.
One user edited the popular ‘disaster girl’ meme to replace the devious-looking child with Swift as a house was engulfed in flames behind her.
Another person reposted Taylor’s ‘Childless Cat Lady’ line with a clip of a woman screaming with joy as she created a makeshift flamethrower.
Robert Griffin III joked, ‘Oh it’s over. Swifties don’t play.’
Desus Nice joked that ‘we aint seeing kid rock an any tortured poet department rerelease’ in the wake of the endorsement.
One user wrote that the ‘debate was so devastating for Trump that it expedited the Taylor Swift endorsement.’
Others alluded to reports that the Trump campaign was dismayed by how JD Vance’s past statements have come to haunt it.
‘trump is going to hang jd vance by his ankles off the top of trump tower,’ joked a poster on X.
Swift’s endorsement appears to have shored up her support from many fans who previously criticized her for continuing her friendship with Brittany Mahomes.
The pop star befriended Mahomes, who is married to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, after she began dating his teammate, tight end Travis Kelce.
Brittany was previously a member of Taylor’s ‘squad’ of famous female friends, but it wasn’t clear if her position was safe after she liked several pro-Trump social media posts, which outraged the Shake It Off singer’s fans.
There were rumors of a rift between the two, particularly after Brittany wasn’t among Taylor’s entourage when the Chiefs played the Ravens earlier this month.
However, a source later told The Sun that the two simply had different plans for that game.
Taylor then indicated that she and Brittany were still pals when they shared an affectionate hug at the Men’s Singles Final match at the US Open on Sunday.
Some Republicans — and even Swifties — had speculated that the songstress might not endorse a candidate after previously endorsing President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
Her renewed embrace of Mahomes fueled the fringe theory, but Tuesday’s post-debate endorsement made it clear that Swift’s politics and values were unchanged.
One X user mocked the idea that she was ‘soft-launch[ing] becoming a Republican’ by simply reposting her forceful endorsement.
Swift’s embrace of Mahomes, coupled with her endorsement, instead suggests she’s able to maintain friendships with conservatives, even as she rejects Donald Trump.

The Art Factory files for bankruptcy and cancels bride’s wedding ONE WEEK before her big day after she….see more
A devastated bride was horrified to learn the venue she booked two years ago for her wedding filed for bankruptcy.
Ivanna Ramirez and Raymond Romero were all set to get married at The Art Factory in Paterson, New Jersey. Ramirez described it as her dream venue and picked out the chic industrial space, securing the booking by paying the $12,000 fee.
But in the days leading up to their wedding, the couple were horrified to find out via their event planner on September 5 that The Art Factory had filed for bankruptcy.
While initially in shock, the pair were optimistic their special day would still go ahead, with reassurance from the owners that celebrations were running into 2025.
But a worrying Instagram post two weeks before the wedding triggered waves of doubt, until a final blow on September 24 ruined all hope when the owners were ordered in court to stop hosting events.
Upon contacting The Art Factory for a refund, they were told they’d have to file a claim for settlement.
They also filed a police report in Paterson – but that did nothing to help their impending plans, with 104 guests preparing to visit the unavailable space.
David Garcia owns the industrial venue which was revitalized in 2018 through a loan from the 100 Mile Fund – which provides capital for a wide range of asset classes, with a concentration in the New York metropolitan area.
In the companies now-deleted Instagram page, they posted an emotional appeal to the disappointed couples, placing blame on the lender for ‘taking your dreams and your money,’ ABC 7 reported.
The outlet reached out to the president of the 100 Mile Fund, Billy Procida. He said he feels sympathy for the clients and that although the venue was great, it was poorly managed.
‘This is one of the saddest things I’ve witnessed in my 43-year career,’ Procida said.
The bankruptcy filing was triggered by a New Jersey Superior Court judgement issued last month against his business due to a $12.5million loan in 2018, court documents said.
The loan was meant to allow Garcia to do a massive renovation of the complex. But the judgement required the owner to provide rent and fees from his business to 100 Mile REIT Inc.

Rashee Rice’s mom was accused of stealing months before alleged theft of a neighbor’s… see more
Rashee Rice’s mom’s alleged parcel theft last week wasn’t her first this year, according to a report.
It was reported that Marsha Kearney, the mother of Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rice, had been accused of swiping a parcel from her neighbor’s porch shortly after her son’s game at the weekend.
However, it had now been revealed that it wasn’t the first time Kearney has been accused of stealing.
She was arrested in spring and charged with one misdemeanor count of theft of property greater than or equal to $100 but less than $750, according to TMZ.
The arrest came after claims she took multiple household items from a man on March 27.
Kearney allegedly swiped 40 items, ‘including food, tumblers, laundry products, merchandise and socks.’
The case was ultimately dismissed on June 4 after Kearney appeared before a judge and completed unspecified conditions, a court official told TMZ.
Just three months later, Kearney has been accused of a similar incident. It emerged Wednesday evening that she nicked a parcel from her neighbor on Sunday.
Kearney was seen on a Ring doorbell camera sliding a parcel with her foot from a neighbor’s door before picking it up and walking off in footage obtained by TMZ .
The incident occurred last Sunday – just hours after the Chiefs defeated the Los Angeles Chargers.
In the video, a woman walks by the camera wearing a ‘Momma-Rice’ jersey with the No. 4 on it and looks right into the lens as she passes by.
Moments later, the woman returns and uses her foot to slide a package away from the door.
But unfortunately for her, while she thought she was out of the camera’s view, the woman is seen bending down to grab the package – lifting up a box and then walking away.
According to TMZ, the owner purchased two limited-edition vinyl Chappell Roan records from Urban Outfitters.
The rightful owner told the outlet that she attempted to resolve the issue with Kearney, Rice, and the apartment leasing office to try and get the items back without any luck.
Police have reportedly confirmed that a report had been filed on Wednesday regarding the theft and that an investigation is underway.
Rice was injured in the game on Sunday and had to be carted off the field due to a knee ailment that has been identified as a potential problem with his ACL.

Southern Charm’ alum Olivia Flowers is engaged to Alex Williams after….see more
Olivia Flowers is a bride-to-be!
The “Southern Charm” alum revealed her engagement to People on Thursday, with fiancé Alex Williams breaking down the New York City proposal.
After flying from their Texas home to South Carolina to ask permission from Flowers’ parents to marry her, he met her in Manhattan — where he got down on one knee on Sept. 25.
“I got her brand manager involved and made her think it was a photoshoot for the hotel,” Williams said of the milestone moment.
He is my biggest hype man when it comes to helping me with content so this didn’t seem weird to me, just like a sweet gesture,” Flowers told the outlet.
“I was in work mode,” the former reality star continued. “Next thing I know, Alex is getting a box out of his sports coat and dropping a knee.”
Flowers, who had been looking for the “best angles for photos in the room” dropped her phone when presented with a four-carat diamond engagement ring.
“Alex said, ‘Olivia Barbara Ellen Flowers. You’re the girl of my dreams. Became the love of my life. And I’d like to ask will you marry me?’” she recalled.
The duo met in May 2023, with Flowers sharing the story on their anniversary the following year.
After arriving late to a wedding (& tripping up the church stairs) I was met by a handsome usher to take me to my seat,” she wrote via Instagram in May. “Later, that same usher asked my date (my dad) if he could dance with me.”
The former Bravolebrity concluded, “A year later and we’re still dancing (and tripping up stairs). Cheers to stage 5 clinging.”
While Flowers was a cast member of “Southern Charm” when she and Williams crossed paths, she confirmed in July that she will not be appearing on its upcoming 10th season.
