Taylor uh in inducted me into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and she sang my song will you love me tomorrow so I have to go players gonna play play play play play play haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate baby I'm just gonna shake shake shake shake shake I Shake It Off I shake it off the swifties are in their Grassroots campaign era though Taylor Swift still hasn't endorsed any candidate for president in 2024 on Tuesday August August 27th the swifties for comma Coalition officially launched their kickoff call which included special guests such as Carol King Senator Elizabeth Warren Senator Kirsten gbrand and raised over $120,000 in donations Taylor has no affiliation with the group and was not involved in the virtual rally which had over 34,000 participants but that didn't stop the Coalition from having some fun with swift related puns and singing along to tons in fact Carol King performed a rendition of the global pop stars hit song Shake It Off which she earlier revealed is her favorite song for and I want to say my favorite song is Shake It Off I think I love the spirit of it right Taylor uh in inducted me into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and she sang my song will you love me tomorrow so I have to go players G to play play play play play play hater's GNA hate hate hate hate hate baby I'm just going to shake shake shake shake shake I shake it off I shake it all Carol also spoke about her relationship with Taylor so first of all I am a Swifty and uh Taylor and I are actually friends we have you know had had conversations backstage and um you know I see her as like sort of my Musical and songwriting grandaughter and and we have a a lovely relationship and I'm so proud of her as a political activist the 82-year-old also stress the power of listening as she gave advice for door knocking and volunteering the key to door knocking is asking a good question and then listening and then depending on what the person says you speak your heart um if they're a little ambivalent um you know what they tell you well I'm not sure about kamla um here's a great bridge builder cuz you're there to build a bridge the bridge builder is well what do you think you and ala might agree on and then you listen but you you see how it works you're building a bridge to that person and I remember having this experience when I was campaigning as a a surrogate anador knocker for John kery who is a friend of mine I've known him for years and so I you know knock on a door and a guy with a John Deere cap comes out and I figure he's probably not a Carrie guy but um you know I asked the questions and spoke from the heart and by the end of that conversation because I listened because I asked questions that invited him in when I left he said I'm voting for your guy meanwhile Senator Kirsten gbrand recited some Swifty jokes I have a number of of Swifty jokes for you um I'm going to read them because they're my staff just wrote them and they're really funny okay karma is a relaxing thought but for Donald Trump it's not facts um if you're all lied to vote Stay Stay Stay good one uh We Can't Stop won't stop voting so shake it off that's a good one uh comma is saying look what you made me do good one KLA is saying who's afraid of little old me excellent ones elsewhere in the call Senators Ed Mary and Elizabeth Warren revealed their favorite songs hello 50s it is so good to be here with all of you I am calling in from Milwaukee because I've been out for the last two days out there for kamla Harris to make her president of the United States so let me just start by saying um I know how many things there are to do on a Tuesday evening so thank you all for spending it with us helping get vice president kamla Harris and Governor Tim Walls elected thank you so let me start with my favorite song I love Karma I have a thing or two to say about private Equity uh and when I have time all too well 10-minute version you bet now my favorite tayor song may surprise you snow on the beach weird but beautiful and something we know a little bit about in my home state of Massachusetts uh because in Massachusetts we also know that climate change is threatening our favorite phenomena the waters on the shores of Taylor's Holiday House in New England are some of the fastest warming Waters in the world outside of the Arctic so there are just five fortnits until day but we are not out of the woods yet and so as we know from the last solar eclipse Donald Trump will stare directly in the Sun but never in the mirror so we have our work ahead of us to make sure we defeat this anti-hero wanabe or as I like to call him Mr casually cruel Mr everything revolves around you in the words of Taylor Swift I never trust a narcissist and this narcissist and chief clearly doesn't know enough about Kama or what I like to call the infinite organizing power of the swifties on this Zoom call in 2020 Taylor endorsed President Joe Biden in an Instagram post from that year Taylor wrote I spoke Tov magazine about W be voting for Joe Biden for president so apt that it's come out the night of the VP debate going to be watching supporting at KLA Harris by yelling at the TV a lot and I also have custom cookies [Music]
