Who are Taylor and Beyoncé supporting in this election?

So far, both Taylor and Beyonce have remained tight-lipped about who they plan to support ahead of the US elections in November this year. However, it is being speculated that the chosen candidate will be the 59-year-old politician. This speculation is based on the fact that the Single Ladies singer’s team gave Harris last-minute approval to use her song Freedom during the presidential campaign.

In 2020, Taylor had expressed support for Harris on X when the latter accepted the nomination for the vice presidency. The Lover singer replied “yes” to Harris’ tweet where the latter wrote, “@JoeBiden can unite the American people because he’s spent his life fighting for us. And as president, he will build an America that lives up to our ideals.”

“I am proud to join him as our party’s nominee for vice president and to do whatever it takes to make him our commander in chief.”
