03:49over towns, that Democrats favor ninth-month abortions and executing newborn babies, and

04:31her vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the November 5 election.

04:39Swift says Harris,

04:40"...fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them."

04:44She also addresses an incident where an AI of her falsely endorsed Trump.

04:48She says,

04:49"...it really conjured up my fears around AI and the dangers of spreading misinformation.

04:54That made her realize she needed to be transparent about her plans as a voter."

04:58Swift notes,

04:59"...the simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth."

05:02Her statement was signed off as Childless Cat Lady.
