Renowned for her exceptional talent and cultural influence, Taylor Swift has once again captured headlines, not just for her booming Eras Tour and flourishing music milestones but also for an intriguing proposal from film director Rob Reiner.
On a significant Thursday, March 28, Reiner publicly expressed his desire for Swift to make a cinematic appearance—or even more notably, to engage politically by backing Joe Biden.
“I’m in the midst of shooting a sequel to This is Spinal Tap,” he disclosed on the platform X (formerly known as Twitter). “As much as I’d like Taylor Swift to do a cameo in the film, I’d give anything for her to endorse Joe Biden. She would virtually single-handedly save American Democracy.”

Amongst Reiner’s followers, Mark Hamill chimed in, reminding, “She endorsed Biden in 2020 & will undoubtedly do so again.”
While Swift’s continued support for the current president is not assured, the Star Wars luminary recollects her prior political stance. Back in October 2020, Swift turned to Twitter to declare her choice for the presidential election.
“I spoke to @vmagazine about why I’ll be voting for Joe Biden for president. So apt that it’s come out on the night of the VP debate,” she proclaimed. “Gonna be watching and supporting @KamalaHarris by yelling at the tv a lot. And I also have custom cookies.”

Detailed in her interview with V magazine, Swift outlined the reasons for her presidential preference.
“The change we need most is to elect a president who recognizes that people of color deserve to feel safe and represented, that women deserve the right to choose what happens to their bodies, and that the LGBTQIA+ community deserves to be acknowledged and included,” the acclaimed “You Need to Calm Down” artist explained.
She elaborated: “Everyone deserves a government that takes global health risks seriously and puts the lives of its people first. The only way we can begin to make things better is to choose leaders who are willing to face these issues and find ways to work through them.”
