Taylor Swift snubs Kamala Harris plea, but plays house entertainer for Travis Kelce's NFL frat party
Taylor Swift ’s political silence has sparked fresh outrage after revelations she rejected a request to perform for Kamala Harris’s 2024 campaign — yet gladly sang at Travis Kelce ’s Tight End University . While Swift once championed women in leadership, critics now question where her priorities truly lie: ballots or boyfriends?
Taylor Swift snubs Kamala Harris campaign but sings for Travis Kelce
In a move that’s sparking both political backlash and fan praise, Taylor Swift reportedly declined a major request from the Kamala Harris 2024 presidential campaign—while gladly stepping up to perform for her boyfriend Travis Kelce at his Tight End University event.
According to revelations from the book 2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America, the pop star was personally approached by Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, to perform in support of the Harris-Tim Walz ticket during the election season. But despite Emhoff’s personal connection—he’s reportedly friends with Swift’s longtime lawyer, Doug Baldridge—the superstar turned it down.
“Swift proved to be a challenge,” wrote authors Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf. Although Swift did endorse the Democratic ticket via social media, her refusal to take the stage for a political campaign raised eyebrows, especially when juxtaposed with her musical surprise for Kelce and his guests just weeks later.
While Taylor Swift was fully booked with her demanding Eras Tour schedule during the 2024 election, she found time to belt out a country version of "Shake It Off" at Kelce’s annual Tight End University in Nashville. The intimate performance sent guests into a frenzy and left Swifties fuming online. Videos from the event went viral, with one fan commenting, “So we spent thousands on Eras Tour tickets and missed this version? Devastated.”
This contrast has reignited debates about Swift’s role in political activism. Some argue that the singer has every right to choose her platforms and prioritize personal events over political ones. Others believe her snub sends a message about the limits of her support for progressive politics.
What’s clearer than ever is that Swift is no longer playing by anyone’s rules but her own. She will lend her voice where she sees fit—whether it’s to empower millions of fans through lyrics or to serenade a stadium full of NFL stars and their partners.

And while Kamala Harris may not have secured Swift’s mic, Travis Kelce certainly did. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end not only won Swift’s heart but also inspired her to pick up the guitar, even if it wasn’t on a campaign stage.
