taylorswift Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven't already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country. Recently I was made aware that Al of 'me' falsely endorsing Donald Trump's presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion. that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth. 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. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. 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. I've done my research, and I've made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it's much easier to vote early. I'll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story. With love and hope, Taylor Swift Childless Cat Lady : @inezandvinoodh 4 minutes ago


Her post, breaking her silence on the 2024 vote, was later commented on by Trump, who said: "Well, I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better … I was not a Taylor Swift fan … she'll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace."

Donald Trump's response is a callback to Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes hugging during the U.S. Open annual tennis tournament, which received some backlash online, as some netizens allege Mahomes is a Trump supporter.

But how does all of this relate to why Miss Swift signed her Harris support with "childless cat lady"? Let's explain why J.D. Vance’s 2021 childless cat ladies comment caused a new array of memes and jokes related to cats and women who haven’t given birth yet.

Where Is The 'Childless Cat Lady' Meme From?

On July 29th, 2021, J.D. Vance stated the U.S. is being run by "childless cat ladies," naming Vice President Kamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez during an interview for the Tucker Carlson Tonight show on Fox News.

The video resurfaced in late July 2024, after Vance was picked by Trump as his running mate for the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.


How Is The 'Childless Cat Lady' Used In Memes?

J.D. Vance's controversial "childless cat ladies" quote inspired women to post videos and images featuring their cats under the hashtag "#childlesscatladies" to criticize the politician's comment about women without children.

Celebrities also joined the trend, like Taylor Swift, who recently signed her Harris vote endorsement with "childless cat lady" and actress Jennifer Anniston, who shared @RonFilipkowski's tweet in July 2024 via Instagram stories, featuring Vance's "childless cat ladies" quote, writing, "I truly cannot believe this is coming from a potential VP. All I can say is… Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day."
