CNN Games Out Taylor Swift Showing Up To Endorse Kamala Harris At DNC: ‘She COULD Be There By Wednesday!’

CNN gamed out how pop superstar Taylor Swift might be able to drop in and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris at the Democratic National Convention — if the tour allows.

The Democratic National Convention (DNC) kicks off in Chicago Monday night with a headlining speech by President Joe Biden — but there will be many expected and unexpected guests from the world of entertainment.

On Monday morning’s edition of CNN News Central , anchors Sara Sidner and John Berman were joined by correspondent Elizabeth Wagmeister to run down the celebs who will be there — and the powerhouses who might show up.

Wagmeister noted that Beyoncé has already signaled her support by authorizing the VP to use her song “Freedom,” but Swift hasn’t weighed in publicly just yet. She then went through the Swift tour schedule for an opening this week — or in October:

SARA SIDNER: New details for you this morning about which A-list celebrities are playing to be at the Democratic National Convention here in Chicago, where we are, as a party, formally announce Kamala Harris as its nominee. Rumors are swirling big time. Everybody’s talking about it, that two of the biggest names in music: Beyonce, Taylor Swift.

JOHN BERMAN: Is that of the biggest names or the two biggest names.

SARA SIDNER: I think the two biggest. Okay. We can we don’t have to. We don’t have to parse it. Beyonce, Taylor Swift might make appearances.

JOHN BERMAN: Might! All right. CNN’s Elizabeth Meister is with us this morning. That was the might. How about the will? Who do we know that will be here?

ELIZABETH WAGMEISTER: By the way, I’m with you, John. They are the two biggest names of course are all eyes are on whether they will come. But who we do know will be there. Some new exclusive reporting that I got in overnight.

There going to be four celebrity hosts that are mixing each night of the convention. Kicking off tonight is going to be Tony Goldwyn, who of course, starred as the president on Scandal, but is very politically active in his real life.

Then Ana Navarro is going to be hosting tomorrow night, Mindy Kaling on Wednesday and Kerry Washington on Thursday.

Now, convention officials tell me that the role of these host is going to be similar to something at the Oscars, like an award show. They’ll come on, they’ll make an introduction, and then they’ll reappear throughout the night to help guide the audience through programing.

Now, aside from these four celebrity hosts, I also hear that there are going to be some other A-list speakers yet to be announced. And also all eyes are on who is going to perform.

I do hear that there is going to be at least one performance tonight and that should be announced shortly. Also, a lot of parties happening in Chicago and of course Hollywood is very excited about Harris. So Hollywood is descending from the West Coast to the Midwest.

Now. John Legend will be performing at a party also Joan Jett, so there will be a lot of celebrity action down there in Chicago. So keep your eyes out. And Julia Louis-Dreyfus, she is hosting a panel with the female Democratic governors of this country.

SARA SIDNER: You can’t forget Veep! I mean, she she did a whole show about this situation. There is, of course, a lot of talk. Just give us the answer. Beyonce and Taylor, are they going to be here? Because that’s what we really want to know!

ELIZABETH WAGMEISTER: And that’s what the people want to know. That’s what I want to know. So as I said, of course there’s a big hole. Right Sarah who is going to be that big performer?

Now, of course, we do know that Beyonce is backing Vice President Harris. I exclusively broke the news for us that she gave her clearance to use her song Freedom as her official campaign song, so that would leave some room to believe that Beyonce could potentially take the stage at the DNC.

Now, Taylor Swift has previously backed the Biden-Harris administration. Back in 2020, she backed Biden.

But we haven’t heard from her yet. Now remember, she is on tour right now. She’s in London, so she can’t be there tonight. She can’t be there tomorrow. She’s a little busy in London, but if her show ends on Tuesday, she could hop on a private jet and she could be there by Wednesday!

So we will see. But Taylor also comes back to the US in October, so there is time for her to make an endorsement if she chooses to.

SARA SIDNER: Elizabeth Wagmeister, thank you so much.
