Hollywood’s Highest-Profile Harris Endorsements: Taylor Swift, George Clooney, Bruce Springsteen and More

Celebrities have expressed their support for the Democratic ticket this November. Here’s 11 of the biggest names.

Bruce Springsteen, George Clooney and Taylor Swift are some of the Hollywood heavyweights to have expressed their support for the Democratic ticket this November.

 

Hollywood is full of Harris endorsements this fall. From Taylor Swift to George Clooney, Bruce Springsteen to Oprah Winfrey, the boldfaced names declaring their support for presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, have packed stadiums and movie theaters across the globe, and now have turned their platforms toward ensuring Democratic victory next month.

“Vote like your life depends on it because it does,” Billie Eilish told her followers recently. Many like her — including Taylor Swift — have also included voter registration pushes with their endorsements of Harris, leading to hundreds of thousands more visitors at sites like Vote.gov.

Others have also spoken out directly against former President Trump and his running mate, J.D. Vance, with Springsteen calling the Republican nominee “the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime.” (See who’s supporting Trump.)

Below, here’s a list of the biggest Hollywood names to have thrown their support behind the Harris-Walz ticket.

 

 

 

Clooney was one of Hollywood’s first celebrities to endorse Harris, after also calling for Biden to step down from the race in a controversial essay in The New York Times.

“We are not going to win in November with this president,” Clooney wrote of Biden. “On top of that, we won’t win the House, and we’re going to lose the Senate.”

When the president announced his official withdrawal from the race in July, the actor told CNN that “President Biden has shown what true leadership is. He’s saving democracy once again.” He added, “We’re all so excited to do whatever we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest.”

 

 

 

 

Donald Trump’s Nephew Recalls Grandpa’s Dementia Symptoms as He Warns of Former President’s ‘Decline’ (Exclusive)

 

“I see it in parallel with the way my grandfather’s decline was,” Fred Trump says of Donald’s recent behavior. “If anyone wants to believe that dementia did not run in the Trump family, it’s just not true”

Donald Trump’s nephew Fred C. Trump III is opening up about his family’s often-overlooked history of dementia — and how his uncle’s recent behavior reminds him of the other Trumps who have faced cognitive health challenges, including Donald’s dad.

“Like anyone else, I’ve seen his decline. But I see it in parallel with the way my grandfather’s decline was,” Fred, 61, tells PEOPLE of Donald, 78, who has at times downplayed his father’s symptoms. “If anyone wants to believe that dementia did not run in the Trump family, it’s just not true.”

As Election Day looms closer, Fred says it’s “frustrating” how the speculation around candidates’ mental aptitude this election cycle hasn’t involved taking a closer look at their family histories. “People [who don’t know the candidates] would diagnose, if you will, Biden, and diagnose Donald. I never heard anyone say, ‘Oh, let’s look at the family history of either of these two people.’ “

The former president’s campaign dismissed the following interview as “completely fabricated and total fake news.”

Fred’s first brush with a loved one showing signs of dementia came when his namesake grandfather, Frederick Christ Trump Sr., was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. He says that Donald’s cousin, John Walter, also had dementia, and Donald’s late sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, displayed similar symptoms before her death last year, despite never being diagnosed.

Fred recalls his grandfather’s decline beginning in the 1980s, “with some of the similar stories you’ve heard time and time again, that when his limousine would stop, he would just get out of the car and start walking away.”

Fred Sr.’s behavior became a norm for those around him, says his grandson. “You know, things that you almost say, ‘Oh, there goes grandpa again.’ “

 

“You have to understand,” adds the younger Fred, “he still went to work every day — that was part of the thing.”

Fred Sr.’s continued employment “was to give my grandmother [Mary Anne MacLeod Trump] a rest and not have him around the house,” he tells PEOPLE. “My grandmother used to call it the 36-hour day, being around my grandfather, who had onset Alzheimer’s.”

Fred — who described his experience growing up in the Trump dynasty in his recent book, All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way — recalls his grandfather “becoming a little more agitated” as his condition grew worse.

“He would scream, and I witnessed this, scream at my grandmother for spending too much money,” says Fred, reminding that money was not a concern for his grandfather. The behavior “kept escalating and escalating, to the point where doctors would say to my grandmother, ‘You really shouldn’t be staying in the same bedroom with him at night.’ “

Fred, the son of Donald’s late brother Fred Trump Jr., clarifies that he never saw or heard his grandfather ever become physically violent with his grandmother, but instead, “agitated in his language, and vicious.”

He also alleges that Donald’s sister, Maryanne, seemed to exhibit signs of dementia before her death on Nov. 13, 2023.

“One of the last times I saw Maryanne, she said, ‘You know, I’ve only met your wife Lisa once.’ And I was sort of taken aback by that…I said, ‘Well, you’ve actually met Lisa hundreds of times over the almost 40 years that you’ve known her, as long as I have.’ “

Recalling his grandfather’s experience with dementia specifically, Fred claims that he’s witnessed similarities in recent years with his uncle Donald, who has not released any recent medical records as the oldest presidential nominee in U.S. history.

One particular interaction jumps to the front of Fred’s mind as an example, when he ran into Donald at Mar-a-Lago in 2023.

“He just looked disoriented, and he kept repeating something to me time and time again when I had met him,” Fred tells PEOPLE. “He kept repeating things, and he just looked different. He looked tired.”

Fred says he’s noticed his uncle has also had “no inhibitions about cursing in front of anybody” more recently, and while he recognizes that “Donald has always cursed,” his nephew describes the former president’s recent communication as “outright nastiness.”

 

Fred, who decided to back Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, explains, “I always have to disclaim, I’m not a neurologist, I’m not a psychologist, I’m not an MD.” But based on his family experiences, he says, “I see traits with Donald that are unfortunate.”

Recalling one of Donald’s first times meeting Fred’s son William, who has complications from a rare genetic mutation, Fred says Donald rebuffed Lisa’s explanation of William’s condition.

“When Lisa and I went to see Donald, and he said, ‘Well, what’s wrong with William?’ And Lisa says, ‘Well, he has an issue with one of his genes, a gene mutation,’ And Donald immediately says, ‘Not our genes.’ ” Fred claims. “He can never admit that there is any mental or physical flaw with anybody in the family.”

Donald’s nephew — who claims in his book that the former president once told him disabled Americans “should just die” due to “expenses” and “the shape they’re in,” which Donald’s campaign firmly denied — tells PEOPLE he thinks the former president is likely playing up “the old projecting thing” by denying any flaws in his family’s medical history.

“He can never open up the negative door on the family ever,” says Fred. “Because if he admitted that my grandfather had dementia, well, that’s almost admitting that he has the possibility of having dementia.”

The potential that Americans could elect Donald to the White House once again without certainty about his cognitive health has Fred concerned, following a series of public campaign trail flubs in which the former president has mixed up names of world leaders, slurred his speech and relied on increasingly violent rhetoric about his opponents.

“My grandfather, unfortunately, was threatening my grandmother [late in his life], and that was horrible. And I witnessed it,” Fred says. “But my grandfather didn’t have any decision-making that was going to have world implications. The biggest implication is, ‘Does my grandmother sleep in another bedroom to stay away from him when he’s roaming around the house at two o’clock in the morning?’ “

But for Donald, he adds, “this is potentially the most important person in the world.”

 

Travis Kelce Dances Alongside Taylor Swift’s Mom During ‘So High School’ at Indianapolis Show, Gets ‘Karma’ Shout Out

 

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was in attendance for the second night of Swift’s Eras Tour in the Indiana capital

 

Taylor Swift had a very special guest during night two of her Eras Tour in Indianapolis.

The 34-year-old pop superstar took over the Indiana capital’s Lucas Oil Stadium on Nov. 2 and her boyfriend Travis Kelce was in the crowd cheering her on.

 

Taylor Swift Songs Return to TikTok

 

 

A photo posted on X (formerly Twitter) by a fan showed the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 35, smiling as he walked into the stadium on Saturday night.

“Travis Kelce is in attendance at N2 of #IndyTSTheErasTour,” the caption of the post read.

Kelce was also spotted in the VIP area with Swift’s mom, Andrea, during the singer’s performance of “So High School,” a song from her 2024 album The Tortured Poets Department which is widely believed to be about him.

In a video posted on TikTok, Kelce smiled and danced alongside Andrea as Swift reached the end of the song. After filming the athlete and the singer’s mom, the fan filming could be heard saying, “Oh my god,” as they turned the camera back to Swift on stage.

Another angle posted on X showed Kelce dancing and cheering as his girlfriend finished the track, as the pop superstar’s mother was visible by his side.

Elsewhere in the show, Swift gave her boyfriend a nod when she changed the lyrics of “Karma” to “Karma is guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me,” as she typically does when her boyfriend is in attendance.

A video on X of the sweet moment saw fans erupt into cheers as the singer altered the words of the song. Meanwhile, toward the end of the song, fans captured footage of the NFL star heading backstage.

Meanwhile another fan video posted on X showed Swift and Kelce leaving the stadium together after the end of the show.

The NFL star and the “Blank Space” singer first sparked dating rumors in September 2023, before confirming their romance by stepping out hand-in-hand in New York City the following month. The couple has supported one another in their respective careers throughout their relationship, with Kelce attending Swift’s Eras Tour shows in the U.S., Australia, Singapore and more, while she has attended multiple Kansas City Chiefs games, including the 2024 SuperBowl in February.

Swift’s massively successful Eras Tour will take a break after the Indianapolis run before picking back up on Nov. 14 for a string of dates at Rogers Centre in Toronto before closing out the tour with three nights at the BC Place in Vancouver from Dec. 6 to Dec. 9.

During a tour stop in New Orleans on Sunday, Oct. 27, Swift expertly brushed off a stage malfunction. When the moving reflective box — affectionately referred to as the “Tayroomba” by fans — stopped working when she launched into “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” the singer continued her choreography onstage with her dancers.

She then had to perform Tortured Poets Department cut “Down Bad” without the platform for the first time, but she managed just fine with the aid of her dancers.
