Endorsements don’t generally mean much. Dick Cheney’s endorsement of Harris will have zero impact, for example. But Swift’s is probably the most valuable support that Harris could have gotten. It brings a veneer of plausibility to the most unlikely national ticket in American history. This is admittedly pure speculation, but I think Swift’s endorsement will help Harris more than Robert Kennedy’s has helped Trump.
A Swift Blow to Trump?

Color me very skeptical in this regard. Jazz wrote about the Taylor Swift endorsement this morning too, and was skeptical for his own reasons. Anyone inclined to be influenced by pop stars almost certainly already planned to vote for Harris anyway. This is Swift signaling solidarity with that base, which isn't going to impact the race ... but allows her to do her thing without getting harassed any more about politics.
