A post shared on social media purports singer Taylor Swift tried to walk back her endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Verdict: False
The claim stems from a satirical website.
Fact Check:
Former President Donald Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy , CNN reported. Trump criticized Zelenskyy for not making a deal with Russia yet, but the Ukrainian leader also criticized Trump saying that he doesn’t believe Trump could actually stop the war, according to the outlet.
A post shared on Facebook that Swift regrets sharing her support of Harris in the 2024 Presidential election. The post shared two separated photos of each of the women smiling.
The caption reads, “Breaking News : Taylor Swift Regrets Endorsing Harris and Walz, ‘I Wish I could Take it Back.'”
The claim is inaccurate. The claim appears to have originated on a satirical news outlet called Dunning Kruger Times. The website features a disclaimer that identifies the site as parody, “Dunning-Kruger-Times.com is a subsidiary of the ‘America’s Last Line Of Defense’ network of parody, satire, and tomfoolery.”
There is no post on Swift’s social media accounts that indicates she took back her support. She posted her endorsement of Harris on Sep. 10 on social media saying, “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.” The post is still available and has not been deleted.
