Just minutes after the ABC News presidential debate on Tuesday, Taylor Swift put the swirling speculation to rest by formally announcing her endorsement of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
The Grammy winner wrote in her Instagram post that she is supporting the vice president because she is “a steady-handed, gifted leader” and “fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.”
Another factor in Swift’s decision? Harris’ selection of Walz as her running mate. “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 pop star added.
During her post-debate coverage on Tuesday, Megyn called out Swift for highlighting the Minnesota governor’s support of “LGBTQ+ rights” as one of the reasons for her support when the North Star state is home to some of the most progressive laws in the country when it comes to so-called ‘gender affirming care’ for minors.
On Thursday, Megyn was in Kansas City, MO, with Tucker Carlson for the latest stop on his ‘Tucker Carlson Live Tour’ and Swift’s endorsement was a hot topic. Megyn did not hold back while addressing Swift’s support of Harris and Walz and her explicit praise of the governor. Below is what she had to say on the subject.

Megyn’s Remarks
“Screw you, Taylor Swift. That’s how I would like to begin…
I don’t know whether [her endorsement] will have an effect [on the election]. I mean, supposedly some 350,000 people have rushed to some website to register to vote or express interest in potentially doing that. But young people don’t generally vote, and I don’t think people who at this point in the election cycle had not registered to vote are not going to do it because of Taylor Swift. But let’s set that to to the side…
This woman has… is a billionaire. I saw her amazing mansion in Rhode Island. I went to some hotel there, and there it is up on a cliff. You’ve never seen a more beautiful home. It’s one of what? 20? She’s got so many gifts thanks to all of you and thanks to your daughters, who you probably had to drag to her concerts. You want to make your daughter happy, and so you did it and that’s true whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat.
And how does she thank this nation? She turns around and not only does she pick a side in a hotly contested presidential election alienating at least half of her fan base, but she says the reason she’s voting for Kamala Harris is because of Tim Walz’s LGBTQ stance.
Do you know what Tim Walz has done on the LGBTQ front?
Let me tell you what’s going to happen… to a little girl sitting in [Minnesota], who is maybe on the spectrum, maybe has acne, maybe is a little heavyset, maybe feels upset because her parents are getting divorced, or something like, and is going to find herself down a rabbit hole on Reddit. And her parents aren’t going to know because they’re getting a divorce and they’re not focused on her right now.
She is going to spend hour after hour on that thing and Reddit is going to tell her she is actually a boy. And she’s going to get sucked into this gender cult, and she is going to say, ‘Mom and Dad, I want puberty blockers into cross-sex hormones’ – which will sterilize her and deprive her of all sexual pleasure for the rest of her life.
And they’re going to say, ‘No, you’re a girl. And she’s going to say, ‘But I want I want top surgery… this double mastectomy where I’ll have tubes coming out of me and I’ll never breastfeed a child. I want that too because I’m a boy.’ And they’re going to say no.
She’s going to go to a judge in Minnesota and, because of Tim Walz, the court will take custody of her use the Medicaid funds in Minnesota to provide her all of those things – chop off her breasts, sterilize her with the puberty blockers into the cross-sex hormones… There’s a law that Tim Walz signed that says the court can take jurisdiction, which in this instance means custody, over minor children who are not getting ‘gender affirming care.’ [And that ‘care’] is a lie. There are only two genders. There are men and there are women. One cannot become the other…
And when this girl inevitably comes to the conclusion that she didn’t want any of this, that it only added to her problems – which were the divorce, and the acne, and the puberty, and not any trans issue – who is she going to go to then?
This is all because of Tim Walz. That’s what Minnesota is doing right now to little girls and boys – taking custody away from the parents so that they can have these procedures without any loving parent there to help. And that’s what Taylor Swift just endorsed for your children.
So screw you, Taylor Swift.”
