Social media users are aflame with speculation that Taylor Swift may have just low-key endorsed Kamala Harris for this fall’s presidential election — without even saying a single word!
Over on Instagram on Tuesday evening, the Mean crooner uploaded a series of photos celebrating her Eras Tour shows that had just gone off without a hitch in Warsaw, Poland. As the European leg of her record-breaking tour continues, she wanted to let the whole world know how amazing her time in Warsaw had been! But quickly, fans noticed something VERY different than that in one of the pics. And of course, as with all things Taylor, they couldn’t help but speculate about it!

Along with the snaps, Travis Kelce‘s girlfriend shared this commentary in the caption of her post (below):
“Oh I loved those Warsaw shows SO much!!! Our first time ever playing in Poland, but it won’t be the last… I seriously had the best time. Also want to thank those beautiful crowds for making us the first tour to play 3 nights in a row in your stadium!! I can’t believe we have 2 cities left on the European leg of The Eras Tour. It’s truly flown by. See you soon Vienna!”
Sweet, right?! But it was the seventh photo of the carousel in particular that has people REALLY talking online! Scroll through until you hit number seven (below), the picture in which Taylor is holding a pink guitar while wearing an orange sequined outfit. In it, take particular notice of the shadow of the person walking BEHIND her off the stage:
Damn!!!
Notice any resemblance?! X (Twitter) users couldn’t help but point out how much that silhouette looks EXACTLY like Kamala Harris walking on stage and waving to the crowd, either! Here are just a few of their reactions (below):
“It really feels like it should be a bigger deal that Taylor Swift left a shadow of Kamala on her Instagram post but I don’t really see anyone talking about it”
“Taylor Swift casually dropped this photo to endorse Kamala Harris why is NO ONE talking about this”
“Did Taylor Swift just soft launch her endorsement of Kamala Harris?!?!”
“[Swift] is lowkey endorsing @KamalaHarris on @instagram. No public statement yet, besides this pic”
Super interesting, right?! What a low-key endorsement soft launch! Except… it’s not true. At least not in how it’s been presented. While TayTay may still endorse Kamala (we can certainly hope!), the photo in its proper context is actually just that of a backup dance or some other person walking off stage during a Warsaw show. They just so happened to be waving to the crowd at the exact moment that pic was snapped in a way that really makes them look like Harris. But it’s not Kamala! See for yourself (below):
Thankfully it's not Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala Harris. I found the raw video. Myth busted. https://t.co/V5KFI4rQ4l pic.twitter.com/WdODAejVB9

Ahhh. Myth busted, indeed. Still, it really underscores how significant an endorsement from The Tortured Poets Department crooner would be if/when it comes, because it got SO many people wondering! And so excited for it!
Thoughts, y’all?? Share ’em (below)!
