“You’ve probably heard that Taylor Swift is endorsing Joe B.”

‘You’re on your own,’ Joe. Taylor Swift hadn’t endorsed Biden for president as of mid-April 2024

If your time is short

  • Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift endorsed Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election but has not issued a public endorsement in 2024.

  • No spin, just facts you can trust. Here's how we do it.

Sorry, Joe Biden. As Taylor Swift might say, “You’re on your own, kid.” At least for now —  Swift still hasn’t endorsed anyone for president in 2024. Popular social media posts said otherwise, however.

“You’ve probably heard that Taylor Swift is endorsing Joe B,” posts from April 6 and April 11 said. Joe B is a reference to President Biden, who is seeking reelection for a second four-year term.

The Facebook posts were flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.)

You have probably not heard Swift’s endorsement because it hasn’t happened. Swift endorsed Biden a month out from the 2020 presidential election but has not made a public endorsement in 2024.

On March 5, Super Tuesday, Swift posted a message to her 282 million Instagram followers encouraging them to vote, along with a link to the website of nonpartisan group Vote.org, which lets people find local polling stations and hours. She sent a similar get-out-the-vote message in 2023, after which Vote.org said it recorded 35,000 registrations.

Although some election watchers are reportedly eager to see Swift, whom Time named its 2023 Person of the Year, throw her support behind either Biden or his competitor, former President Donald Trump, experts told PolitiFact that they are skeptical that her involvement would tip the race decisively to her chosen candidate.

An endorsement would draw attention, but her fans already lean left. And for celebrity endorsements to move the needle in elections, there usually needs to be more than one action or message, experts said. Younger people exhibit consistently poor voter turnout. 

Swift endorsed Democrat Phil Bredesen in a 2018 Tennessee U.S. Senate race, but Bredesen lost that election to Republican Marsha Blackburn.

We rate the claim that Swift endorsed Biden False.
