Taylor Swift celebrated the culmination of the U.S. leg of the Eras Tour by encouraging fans to remember to vote on Election Day.

“Couldn’t have asked for a more magical way to end our US shows on The Eras Tour,” the singer wrote on Instagram. “Just had the time of my life with 207,000 beautiful people in Indianapolis who showered us with so much love and excitement and joy… I know I’ll be looking back on this weekend and smiling because it was just like a dreamscape, all of it. Thank you to everyone who came out to see us on our last 3 American shows!!”

She added, along with ballot box and American flag emojis, “And here’s a friendly but extremely important reminder that tomorrow is the US Election and your last chance to vote.”

In September, Swift endorsed Kamala Harris for president, confirming that she would be casting her vote for the Democratic candidate.

“I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,” Swift wrote on social media. “I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”

The singer emphasized her decision, writing, “I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.” The 14-time Grammy winner signed her post as “Taylor Swift” and “Childless Cat Lady.”

Following the endorsement, Walz told MSNBC that he was “incredibly grateful” for Swift’s endorsement. “I say that also as a cat owner, a fellow cat owner,” he added. “That was eloquent and it was clear, and that’s the type of courage we need in America, to stand up.”

Harris noted that she was “very proud” to have the pop star’s support. “I really respect the courage that she has had in her career to stand up for what she believes is right,” Harris told Wired.

One person who wasn’t thrilled about Swift’s endorsement of Harris was Republican candidate Donald Trump. At first, Trump tried to brush off losing the endorsement of the most famous person in the world by calling Swift a “very liberal person” and suggesting “she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.” But he couldn’t help from revealing just how big mad he was a few days later when he posted on Truth Social, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT.”
