Swifties for Kamala Has Raised $144,000 for the Harris-Walz Campaign So Far

Swifties for Kamala is having anything but a cruel summer when it comes to fundraising for the Harris-Walz campaign.

According to a graphic shared by the Taylor Swift fan-led organization’s X account Thursday (Aug. 29), Swifties for Kamala has raised a total of $144,000 for the Democratic ticket so far. Just two days prior, the group held a Zoom event, with 34,000 people attending the call — including Carole King and Sen. Sen. Elizabeth Warren — resulting in 41,000 voters checking their registration as a result of the group’s efforts.

“But we were making it count …,” the group wrote, referencing a lyric from the 14-time Grammy winner’s Folklore track “The 1.” “Thank you to everyone who made our kickoff such a success!”

“We’ve seen the good we can do as a fandom and what happens when we mobilize our community,” Swifties for Kamala cofounder and executive director Irene Kim told NBC News on Wednesday. “We personally know what our values are. We also know what Taylor’s values are. She’s made them very clear to us.”

According to NBC News, a large majority of the funds raised thus far — $122,000 — was collected during the Zoom event.

Swift herself is not affiliated with Swifties for Kamala, nor has she publicly endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz despite backing Joe Biden’s 2020 White House bid — but according to the movement’s leaders, that’s not a problem. “We’re not trying to make her do anything — we do not speak for Taylor,” 29-year-old Kim explained in a recent interview with Cosmopolitan. “Our movement is about the power of our community and how we can mobilize together.”

Though the “Anti-Hero” artist is not yet among them, dozens of musicians have thrown their support behind Harris since Biden dropped out of the 2024 race and endorsed her as the Democratic nominee instead. King has been vocal about her support for the VP from the beginning, and while serving as a guest speaker on the Swifties for Kamala call, she sang a surprise cover of “Shake It Off” and encouraged those in attendance to volunteer for Harris’ campaign.

“If any of you are thinking of volunteering to be door knockers or phone callers, but you’re a little nervous about what you might say, please believe me, you will be working with an organizer who will give you steps,” she told the virtual crowd, adding that she sees Swift as her “musical and songwriting granddaughter.”

Elsewhere in the call, Warren revealed that her two favorite Taylor Swift songs are “Karma” and “All Too Well (10 Minute Version).” “What I love best about Swifties, you are resilient and you know how to take on bullies,” the politician added. “You come together hand-to-hand, friendship bracelets on your wrists and you overcome pretty much anything that life throws at you. The Kamala Harris campaign is standing up for what’s right in the face of bullies like Donald Trump.”

Nick Cannon’s Son Golden Has Skipped Two Grades at Age 7: ‘Yes, He’s Advanced,’ Mom Says

Nick Cannon and Brittany Bell have good genes. According to the latter, her oldest child with the former — 7-year-old Golden Sagon — is one smart cookie, apparently skipping two levels to enter fourth grade on an advanced education path.

The influencer recently shared a photo of Golden, 3-year-old daughter Powerful Queen and 2-year-old Rise Messiah — all three of whom she shares with the Masked Singer host — in honor of their first day of school, showing off her two oldest children’s school uniforms and DIY chalkboards boasting the grades they’re entering this year: fourth and pre-kindergarten. “Back to school for all of us!! My bright babies!!” she wrote.

“Golden is 7 in 4th grade (yes he’s advanced and yes his emotional intelligence matches his cognitive intellect) and our Pretty Pow is already in Pre-K big kids class! Weee so proud!!” Bell continued in her caption. “last year Golden ran for and was elected as his class representative and Miss Pow is quite popular. so they are doing well- can’t wait for this year and what they will do!”

Trending on Billboard

Cannon is also Dad to nine other kids with four other women: Mariah Carey, Abby De La Rosa, Bre Tiesi and LaNisha Cole. The Drumline star hasn’t shied away from jokes about his fertility gifts over the years, recently taking out a $10-million insurance policy on his testicles — which he intends to keep putting to good use.

“Haters say it’s time for me to stop having kids and put this super sperm to rest, but I’m doubling down on these valuable balls and my future kids,” he wrote on Instagram in June. “Shoutout to Dr. Squatch for giving my balls the credit they deserve and hooking me up with the protection I need to keep this family tree rolling!”

And though he has a dozen kids to juggle, Cannon is also open about how he makes an effort to spend time with each of them. On Valentine’s Day, for instance, he took 13-year-old Monroe — whom he shares with Carey — on a daddy-daughter date to a restaurant, meanwhile the “Obsessed” singer did the same with son Monroe. “My funny Valentine,” she captioned a post about the holiday, while Cannon shared a photo and wrote, “Best Valentines Date Ever!!!”
