The Swifties for Kamala coalition has no official ties to Taylor Swift<\/strong>, who has yet to endorse a candidate, but it was able to attract two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Carole King<\/strong> to its fundraising Zoom call on Aug. 27.<\/p>\n

As Variety<\/em> reports<\/a>, King was introduced on the call as the “original cat lady” — having posed with a cat<\/a> on the cover of her iconic 1971 album Tapestry <\/em>— and told participants that Taylor was her “musical and songwriting granddaughter.”\u00a0 Taylor inducted King into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2021 and called her “the greatest songwriter of all time.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Variety<\/em> reports that King also rapped the chorus of “Shake It Off” during the call, which raised more than $100,000. But on a more serious note, King, who described herself as “a political activist for years” and “a volunteer … a door knocker, even as a famous person,” offered advice to the 27,000 participants on how to campaign effectively for your candidate of choice.<\/p>\n

Sen. Elizabeth Warren<\/strong> was also on the call, and revealed “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” and “Karma” are her favorite Taylor Swift songs.\u00a0 According to Variety,<\/em> she also said, “We\u2019ve got 70 days until the election, and … it is going to be a tough fight ahead. We have lots to do, and dang, there are only 24 hours in a day, or 144 \u2018All Too Well (10 Minute Versions).’\u201d<\/p>\n
