Taylor Swift might have wanted to forget about politics for the night as she headed to the Hard Rock Stadium to complete the final leg of her Eras Tour on October 20, but that wasn't what the Republicans gave her as they crashed her gig with a pro-Donald Trump message.
The 34-year-old previously, and very publicly, expressed her support for the Democrats' Kamala Harris in the 2024 United States Presidential Election following the nominees' debate live on ABC, where Trump was made to look foolish.
And she even took a swipe at JD Vance in her message by signing off as "Childless Cat Lady", in the wake of the aspiring Vice President's comments in which he alleged aspiring Democrats aren't interested in families.
So the Cruel Summer singer attracted a lot praise for using her platform for good and it's estimated some 300,000 people signed up to vote in the wake of her social media post across the USA, but the Republicans were keen to hit back and tried to do so on Sunday.
"Trump 2024 - Ready For It, Cat Lady? MAGA," was the message from an aeroplane that flew above the Hard Rock Stadium as a disgruntled pilot flew the banner over the venue before she show began.
Whether the pilot simply misjudged the starting time of the show or aimed for that timing in particular, nobody in the arena saw it because nobody was actually there, so the message largely went unnoticed.
Swift a key player in US election
As mentioned above, Swift inspired some 300,000 people to sign up to votes from her social media post as they followed the attached links during which the billionaire praised Harris as, "fight[ing] for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them."
So it's no surprise that the Democrats are keen to capitalize on her stardom to weaponize the younger generation against Trump and the liberal party began working with the Swifties For Kamala outreach group to encourage more voter turnout.
"She [Swift] holds immense power to get out the vote," a Florida Democratic Party spokesperson told Politico. "We hope our organizing efforts will help voters connect the dots.
"But nothing compares to her advocacy around it."
