A mother is getting trolled online for selling the tickets to Taylor Swift’s upcoming concert following the latter showing support for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential elections. Swift took to her Instagram account on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, to tell her 283 million followers that she was endorsing the Harris-Walz campaign as she believed that the current vice president “fights for the rights and causes” she believes in.
The mother’s identity was not made public at the time of writing this article. While explaining why she was putting the Toronto, Canada, November 15th The Eras Tour tickets for sale, the mother stated:
“Taylor, you are a billionaire, the rest of us are not. The rest of us are struggling. People cannot afford homes, some of us are losing our businesses and Harris gets into office our economy is screwed. But I know that doesn’t affect you because you’ve got all that money- private planes. You just don’t live in that kind of world.”
Speaking about why she believed that Taylor Swift was endorsing Kamala Harris, the mother stated:
“So it really seems to me that the issue at hand here is LGBTQ rights and aborting babies. And neither of those are affected under Donald Trump… how can you call yourself a believer if you believe in killing babies.”
The mother then stated that she was selling her tickets to the concert she was going to take her 13-year-old daughter to, which was also supposed to be the teenager’s birthday gift.
The video had amassed millions of views online at the time of writing this article. Many were furious about her actions, with some comments online reading:
“This lady is out to lunch. Does she know Trump is a billionaire and not just Taylor? Of course she had it written out before the debate, she purposely held it until after the debate to not sway people prior to the debate. Taylor has been a Dem forever and knows Trump. Nuff said,” an X user stated.
“That's so cruel to punish her daughter--because SHE'S a sore loser who supports a sore loser! Shame on this mother,” a platform user said.
Taylor Swift has been supporting Democratic candidates for years now. In 2020, she also endorsed Joe Biden. Meanwhile, other reactions read:
“I feel bad for the daughter who has to live with a mom that does something like this,” an X user said.
“The only persons she is hurting are her daughters. They are never going to forget what you did,” a platform user said.
“That child is going to hate her mother, not Taylor Swift,” another netizen said.
Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris after she watched the US presidential debate between Harris and Trump that took place earlier this week. Meanwhile, other reactions read:
“Like she didn’t know whom Taylor Swift was politically before she bought the tickets? C’mon man,” another platform user said.
“What a gross family. Taylor Swift is a tremendous example for all young adults. Everything Taylor has earned she has worked for,” an X user said.

Taylor Swift said in an Instagram post signed “Childless Cat Lady,” in reference to a comment made by Trump’s running mate JD Vance:
“I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.”
The picture that appeared with the post was of Swift with her cat Benjamin Button, one of three she owns.
While encouraging fans to register to vote, Taylor Swift also addressed AI-generated images of her shared by Donald Trump in late August that falsely showed Swift endorsing the former president.
Meanwhile, Swifties officially also created the Kamala Coalition, which raised over $138,000 for the Democratic candidate in a virtual rally.
