Here are some of the headlines about Taylor Swift over the last few days: 

Travis Kelce may or may not be getting ready to propose to her. The engagement gossip comes up every few weeks, I don’t know why we’re chasing every f-cking story about it at this point. Because, like, whyyyyyy would Taylor and her publicist Tree Paine want any media outlet to scoop this news? 

 

Also she’s the most nominated artist at the MTV VMAs this year. The nominations were announced yesterday. 

And she’s nearing the end of the European leg of her tour soon and will have an extended break and she might be spending a lot of time in Kansas City before she comes back to North America and starts her Toronto residency. We’ll come back to this in a minute. Because it’s related to the next headline, much more intriguing than the ones about Travis. 

It’s to do with an Instagram post from yesterday after The Eras Tour stop in Poland. By the way, during her shows there she peppered in some Polish expressions which I thought was cute because I’m married to a Polish guy and after nearly 25 years my Polish vocabulary is about as extensive as hers, LOL. I try to practise, I swear! 

 

Anyway, take a look at the seventh slide in that carousel: 

Taylor Swift's Instagram post

That silhouette… who is it? What does it mean? Here’s a theory:

Is this really an endorsement of Kamala Harris? 

I mean, if that’s not Madam Vice President, why would Taylor choose a random photo of herself with a distracting silhouette who happens to kinda sorta look like Kamala Harris from the back? It’s not like she would have a shortage of shots to choose from. 

 

Or, you know, maybe it’s just one of her dancers. Because this dancer definitely fits the description: 

Maybe Taylor really didn’t put it together that that image could be interpreted to be Kamala Harris? 

 

But then again, we’ve been told over and over about Taylor’s attention to detail and the intention in her communications with her fans. Also yesterday was the day that the Vice President announced her running mate, Tim Walz. Tim Walz, by the way, is a Swiftie. First of all, he’s a cat person: 

 

Afton is a great name for a cat! And Afton came up again when the governor made this proclamation:

And second, to go back to Taylor’s schedule, and I’ll play Swiftie again and clown myself, Taylor’s final show in England is on August 20 at Wembley. The Democratic National Convention is happening from August 19 to 22 in Chicago. Vice President Harris is expected to keynote and close out the convention and officially accept her party’s nomination on Thursday August 22. 

If that silhouette is really meant to be Kamala Harris on stage with Taylor, is it a hint about Taylor showing up at the convention? 

 

Like I said, I’m probably clowning. But questions about a Taylor Swift endorsement and whether or not she’ll make one have been coming up for months. This is why people are analysing the f-ck out of the Instagram image and wondering if it really means something, or nothing. 

Still, if that photo of the silhouette is actually an endorsement, subtly, and nothing else follows, girl, come on, say it with your whole chest. 

UPDATE: 

The Hollywood Reporter just posted this: 

Nothing to see here, clowns! And I’m referring to myself. But so much for her attention to detail.
