Taylor Swift is a 'disconnected billionaire', says JD Vance after pop star backs Kamala Harris
Taylor Swift
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s running mate JD Vance took a swipe at pop star Taylor Swift for backing Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. The elections are scheduled for November with both Trump and Harris ready to lock horns for the top post.
Slamming Taylor Swift for her choice, JD Vance called her a “disconnected billionaire” and said that she was unaware of the problems faced by the common American.
We like her music, not her choicesays JD Vance on Taylor Swift
Speaking to Fox News' The Story, Vance said, "We admire Taylor Swift's music, but I don't think most Americans, whether they like her music or not, are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and problems of most Americans.”
He said that as Americans largely face issues, it doesn’t hurt Taylor Swift and hence she’s disassociated with the current problems. JD Vance said, “When grocery prices go up by 20 per cent, it hurts most Americans. (But) it doesn't hurt Taylor Swift.”
He added, “When housing prices become unaffordable, it doesn't affect Taylor Swift or any other billionaire. It does affect most middle-class Americans all over our country.”

Taylor Swift has endorsed Kamala Harris
JD Vance’s comments came a day after Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris and said that she would vote for her in the upcoming presidential election. She said that she came to the decision after she saw the first-ever presidential debate between the current US Vice President and her Republican rival Donald Trump.
Endorsing Kamala Harris, Taylor Swift wrote, “Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.”
She added, "It really conjured up my fears around Al, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth."
