00:00Taylor Swift officially breaks her silence on Donald Trump's false AI endorsement following presidential debate.
00:07Fans have been waiting with bated breath to see the singer speak out.
00:12Taylor Swift has finally directly addressed Donald Trump's false endorsement,
00:17shutting down the AI imagery he recently posted of the singer and her fans suggesting that she would be voting for him and
00:25encouraging her followers to do their own research before formally endorsing Kamala Harris for president.
00:32The only the young singer took to Instagram minutes after the end of
00:36Tuesday night's presidential debate between the former commander-in-chief and the current vice president.
00:43Playing into vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance's viral childless cat lady,
00:48Criticism, with a photo from her most recent Time magazine cover featuring her cat Benji.
00:55Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight.
00:58She began alongside the snapshot.
01:00If you haven't already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and
01:06the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most.
01:11As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country.
01:18She then directly addressed the AI imagery posted by Trump on social media,
01:23which she admitted really conjured up her fears around AI and the dangers of spreading misinformation.
01:30To combat that misinformation,
01:32she shared her truth,
01:34revealing her plans to vote for Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, this November.
01:40You've done my research and you've made my choice.
01:43Your research is all yours to do and the choice is yours to make, she concluded.
01:49Before encouraging everyone reading to make sure they were registered to vote,
01:53her comments follow an indirect statement made after the cancellation of her Vienna Eras tour concerts,
02:00which some fans thought might also be addressing the AI scandal, as she asserted.
02:06I am not going to speak about something publicly if I think doing so might
02:10provoke those who would want to harm the fans who come to my shows. In cases like this one,
02:16silence is actually showing restraint and
02:19waiting to express yourself at a time when it's right to.
02:23It also follows a wave of backlash in the Swifty fandom, for our friend Brittany Mams
02:28seemingly endorsed Trump for president, with fans expressing how disappointed
02:34they were to see the pair hugging over the weekend, while Swift remained mum about the situation.
02:40Swift also endorsed President Joe Biden in the 2020 election,
02:45criticizing Trump on several occasions. In May of 2020,
02:49she tweeted, after stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency,
02:56you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence.
03:01When the looting starts, the shooting starts. We will vote you out in November.
03:07Donald Trump's ineffective leadership gravely worsened the crisis that we are in and he is now taking advantage of it to
03:14subvert and destroy our right to vote and vote SAFL.
