Taylor Swift doesn’t need to endorse Kamala Harris for her fans to rally around the Democratic nominee. Many of them already are, mobilizing on behalf of the VP under the name Swifties for Kamala.
In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, a few of the organization’s leaders shared that they don’t particularly care if or when the 34-year-old pop star publicly supports Harris, because their movement is much bigger than that. As 21-year-old Rohan Reagan explained to the publication, “We are doing this outside of her, using the platform of Swifties as a way to get people involved in the election.”
“Taylor did throw her support toward Joe Biden during the 2020 election, so it is possible that she’ll show her support again,” Reagan continued. “But Swifties for Kamala aren’t waiting for her to do that.”
Co-founder Irene Kim, 29, added, “We’re not trying to make her do anything — we do not speak for Taylor. Our movement is about the power of our community and how we can mobilize together.”
The interview comes about a month after President Biden dropped out of the 2024 race, appointing his second-in-command to take over the ticket. Since then, Harris has selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate and officially accepted her nomination for president at the Democratic National Convention — but Swift has yet to publicly show support for the attorney-turned-politician. There was a moment earlier this month when many fans believed the “Anti-Hero” singer subtly embraced Harris by posting an Eras Tour photo with what appeared to be a Kamala look-alike in the background, but so far, there have been no signs that it was purposeful.
Even so, many other musicians have stepped up to the plate to endorse Harris, including Megan Thee Stallion, John Legend, Pink and Stevie Wonder — each of whom has performed at various campaign events — as well as Ariana Grande, Olivia Rodrigo, Demi Lovato, Quavo, Bon Iver, Barbra Streisand, Carole King and more. And in the meantime, Swifties for Kamala plan to continue advocating for Harris on behalf of the “Karma” artist’s fans, from raising awareness about the VP’s campaign to providing followers with voter registration resources.
“One of our goals is that we really want to make this almost a Swiftie safe space where people feel comfortable to be active in politics, especially younger voters and people who have never really participated in politics,” 22-year-old cofounder Emerald Medrano told Cosmo. “We combine voter registration information with, like, friendship bracelets initiatives. We’re bringing things from our fandom culture into a political space, which I think is a really cool way to help people open up and participate.”

Dubbed the “Voice of New York,” Angie Martinez has been a towering figure in New York City hip-hop radio for decades, being inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2020. She also became a New York Times best-selling author when her 2016 memoir made the list. And now she can add director to her accomplished résumé: The hip-hop journalist will make her directorial debut with a documentary about the important, yet often overlooked, DJ Clark Kent.
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Angie had this to say: “DJ Clark Kent is a rare gem whose influence is seen in nearly every era of Hip-Hop’s history books. With our 50-year-old culture susceptible to outside perspective and agenda, it’s important that we spotlight the heroes who push the art form with purity and authenticity. I am honored to help share Clark’s many truths with the world.”

Born Rodolfo Franklin, the Panamanian-American DJ and producer was instrumental in the careers of Jay-Z, Foxy Brown and Shyne, among others. He’s produced tracks for the likes of Jay, Biggie and Mariah Carey, most notably “Brooklyn’s Finest,” “Sky’s the Limit” and “Loverboy (Remix),” respectively. Kent is also a well-respected figure within the sneaker community, collaborating with brands like Nike and Adidas, and owning upward of 3,000 pairs of sneakers.
“I’m honored to have Angie Martinez directing. Her entire career has been rooted in telling stories in a beautiful & meaningful way. Angie is a true icon of Hip Hop and we are very lucky to have her guiding this project,” Kent told the outlet.
The documentary will be called God’s Favorite DJ: The Story of DJ Clark Kent and the synopsis reads as follows: “[This doc] tells the story of a man who spent the last four decades uninterruptedly as an architect, teacher, and unsung hero within Hip-Hop. The world class DJ, producer and sneaker aficionado takes us back to watershed moments when he single-handedly altered history; like when he convinced Shawn Carter to believe in the future of Jay-Z or taught the Notorious B.I.G. to perform like a star and coached Lil Kim through her first studio session. Directed by award-winning media personality and creator of the IRL (In Real Life) Podcast Angie Martinez, the documentary illuminates how much Clark’s DNA appears in several corners of present pop culture — from the stars for whom he composes music (Kanye West, Mariah Carey, Rick Ross) to his 2024 sneaker collaboration with Nike that now resells for over $10K.”
Produced in partnership with Green Leaf Productions and Mark Sparks Productions, the documentary will feature friends and peers like Jay-Z, DJ Khaled, DJ D-Nice and more.

Production is planning to kick off the new season with a 30 Rock rooftop party at the talk show’s iconic New York City headquarters. The premiere week event will feature Kelly Clarkson performing a Kellyoke medley with house band Y’All to an audience of New Yorkers, including The Kelly Clarkson Show Good Neighbors and Rad Humans, people who are stepping up for their local communities.
The Kelly Clarkson Show has been the top-rated afternoon talk show over the course of its five seasons. The show has aired 884 original episodes. Clarkson has covered more than 800 songs in the show’s popular Kellyoke segment, which has demonstrated that she can just sing about any kind of song. 2024 Grammy host Trevor Noah alluded to Clarkson’s skill in the segment when he joked at the ceremony that if winners went too long in their acceptance speeches, “We’re going to get Kelly Clarkson to cover one of your songs better than you ever could.”
Since its launch in 2019, The Kelly Clarkson Show has won 22 Daytime Emmy Awards, including multiple wins for outstanding daytime talk series and outstanding daytime talk series host. Clarkson has personally won eight Daytime Emmys over the course of the first five seasons of her show (compared to three Grammys over a much longer period of time). Impressively, she has won at least one Emmy in each of the five seasons.
In accepting the award for outstanding daytime talk series for the fourth consecutive year at the ceremony on June 7, Clarkson gave special thanks to NBC for listening to her concerns when she proposed moving the show from Los Angeles to New York.
“Thanks to NBC for believing in our show. … The fact that NBC, a huge company, took time and listened when I said ‘Hey, my life is not going super great. I don’t know if I can live here [in L.A.] anymore. I don’t know if I can do this.’ And they really wrapped their arms around us and they helped us move. And the move has been so great for not just me and my family but our whole show. It takes a lot of time and money and effort to do that. It is not unnoticed. I just want to say thank you for thinking of mental health as well as, you know, a product.”
The show averages 1.3 million daily viewers and has grown each season. Clarkson serves as executive producer with Alex Duda, who also serves as showrunner. Y’All is led by music director Jason Halbert. The series is produced by Universal Television and is distributed in national syndication by NBCUniversal Syndication Studios.
