Hillary Clinton, a name synonymous with leadership and resilience, has once again found herself in the spotlight. She’s praising another powerhouse: Taylor Swift. The former U.S. Secretary of State and Democrat presidential nominee expressed admiration for Swift’s public endorsement of Kamala Harris.
This marks yet another moment where she has highlighted strong women making bold moves in politics and culture. Of course, who better than Clinton to speak on such matters, given her own history of shattering glass ceilings?
The Shared Resilience Of Hillary Clinton And Taylor Swift
On the podcast On with Kara Swisher, Hilary Clinton couldn’t hold back her praise for Taylor Swift’s well-timed endorsement of Harris, which came right after a critical debate. “The fact that it happened right after the debate and just added to Kamala’s momentum must have just set them all off,” Clinton noted with a knowing smirk.
It’s true – Swift’s fans are no joke. They’re passionate, they’re vocal, and when Taylor speaks, they listen. Clinton emphasized that Swift’s influence extends far beyond music. “Taylor Swift brings an unusual impact to an endorsement. Her fanbase is so intense and incredibly influenced by her,” she added.

Clinton didn’t shy away from diving deep into her respect for Swift’s ability to stand up for herself. “She’s a singer who charts the course of her life which they [her fans] relate to as their own lives,” Clinton explained.
She also highlighted two critical moments in Swift’s life: standing up to a man who groped her and fighting to regain control of her music after it was sold without her consent. “She has demonstrated a resilience in taking control over her own life that sends a strong message,” Clinton said. “I’m a huge admirer. I think [her endorsement] has real impact.“
Is it just us, or does it feel like Clinton would totally get a VIP ticket to the Eras Tour if she wanted one? It’s clear that both women have captured the public’s attention in different, yet equally empowering ways.

But Hilary Clinton’s comments didn’t just focus on endorsements. She also called out Elon Musk for his bizarre and “rotten” remark offering to have a child with Swift. Clinton continued, labeling it as “kind of another way of saying rape, I think.”
If that wasn’t enough to give you chills, she also added, “I can’t understand why he says what he says. It just is beyond my imagination.” And can we blame her? Musk’s comments went from offbeat to downright disturbing in record time.

Clinton also took a swipe at what she called the “so-called masters of the universe in the technology world,” remarking that misogyny still runs deep in these circles. “They gravitate toward toughness and brutality and machoism,” she said.
“Here’s Taylor Swift, a self-made billionaire who brings joy to people and who imparts life lessons, particularly to girls and women. They can’t stand it,” she added.
