Vice President Kamala Harris has attracted attention for using music from many famous names in her election campaign.
Most recently, after finishing the debate with Mr. Donald Trump on the evening of September 10 (local time), Ms. Kamala Harris attracted attention when she walked off stage to the music of “The Man” by Taylor Swift.
The song is part of Taylor’s 7th studio album “Lover”, with the main music video released on February 27, 2020. In the music video, Taylor Swift transforms into a male version named “Tyler Swift”, directly addressing the social injustices, gender discrimination and double standards that women are facing.
“The Man” was praised by Elite Daily as “super bold and with a strong message about women”, while Forbes commented that it was the most important work Taylor Swift has ever written and was “a brilliant depiction of the subtle and blatant sexism that women endure every day”.

Shortly after
the debate, Taylor Swift herself publicly expressed her support for Kamala Harris on Instagram. The pop superstar wrote: “I am voting for Kamala Harris because she fights for the rights and causes that I believe need a warrior to defend.”
Taylor’s article attracted a lot of attention and created positive buzz for Kamala’s campaign.
Meanwhile, Beyoncé also made an important contribution to Ms. Harris’ campaign by allowing Ms. Kalama Harris to use the song “Freedom” from her 6th studio album “Lemonade” for campaign activities.
The song was described by the popular music magazine Rolling Stone as “one of the most striking political statements of Beyoncé’s career”.
In addition to Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, many other artists have agreed to perform for Ms. Harris’s campaign rallies.
