The combined efforts of major celebrities like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and others failed to secure a victory for Kamala Harris in the recent election, marking a significant defeat for Hollywood’s influence in politics.
The list includes Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Cardi B, Jennifer Lopez, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Bruce Springsteen, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Mark Cuban, and many others.
President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, winning both the electoral and popular votes, indicates a decline in the effectiveness of celebrity endorsements.
This loss may deter celebrities from supporting Democratic candidates in the future, particularly affecting Taylor Swift, whose endorsement was heavily promoted but ultimately did not sway voters.
Swift’s cautious support further highlighted the disconnect between Hollywood and the electorate.
Beyoncé’s late endorsement of Kamala Harris highlighted a surge of celebrity support for the campaign, with numerous stars publicly backing her in the final weeks.
Despite this, American voters, facing high consumer prices and other pressing issues, were not swayed by the endorsements.
After initially avoiding celebrity backing to prevent elitism accusations, Harris turned to Hollywood as her polling tightened against Trump.
However, the campaign ultimately failed, marking a significant setback for celebrity influence in politics.
