The internet is reacting to Taylor Swift clowning JD Vance in her Kamala Harris endorsement by calling herself a 'Childless Cat Lady'.

After last night's US presidential debate Taylor Swift released a statement endorsing Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. For some the message was long over due following her time spent with vocal Donald Trump supporter Brittany Mahomes.

Back in 2020 Taylor spoke out against Trump saying she wanted to "be on the right side of history" and therefore her silence before this took some fans by surprise.

But with all that said, Taylor has come out and said: "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 signed off her statement with, "With love and hope, Taylor Swift Childless Cat Lady" a direct reference to Republican Senate J.D Vance who called Kamala one of the “childless cat ladies” who “want to make the rest of the country miserable too.”

Taylor, 34, has often been ridiculed for not having children yet and for having a love for her fury companions, but today the 'So Long, London' singer added power to being given the title of 'Childless Cat Lady'.

And the Swifties are awake and applauding their Queen, so while the internet is flooded with reactions, GIFs and memes, here's a look at some that caught our eye.

What was Taylor Swift's announcement today?

As the US presidential debate between Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican candidate Donald Trump ended, Taylor released a statement saying she was going to vote for Kamala in a public show of endorsement.

Her statement read:

Why did Taylor Swift sign off her Kamala Harris endorsement with 'Childless Cat Lady'?

By Taylor calling herself a 'Childless Cat Lady' she was making a dig at Republican senate J.D Vance who is the candidate for Vice President.

On Fox News in 2021 J.D complained that the US was being run by Democrats, corporate oligarchs and "a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too".

Fast forward to 2024 and he doubled down on his comments when speaking on The Megyn Kelly Show, adding that Kamala was one of the “childless cat ladies” who “want to make the rest of the country miserable too”.

So Taylor took back the power in his words which were meant to be hurtful and championed being a 'Childless Cat Lady'.

Taylor has been politically outspoken multiple times, back in May 2020 Donald Trump called Black Lives Matter protesters "thugs" to which she replied: "After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence?

"‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November."

The 'Midnights' singer faced backlash recently after she was pictured hanging out with NFL wife Brittany at the US Open. At the same event that she and Travis Kelce were seen singing along to 'I Believe In Love' she was sat with Brittany and her husband Patrick Mahomes before she snapped selfies of Travis and Brittany.

Recently Trump thanked Brittany for her support in a post on Truth Social, he wrote: “I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me, and the fact that MAGA is the greatest and most powerful Political Movement in the History of our now Failing Country,

“With Crime and Illegal Immigration totally out of control, INFLATION Ravaging all Americans, and a World that is laughing at the stupidity of our hapless ‘leaders,’ it is nice to see someone who loves our Country, and wants to save it from DOOM.”

Taylor being cordial with Brittany rubbed people up the wrong way, but now she has come out in full support of Kamala which is a huge moment considering the influence she has.
