Woman's Shadow Silhouette in Pantsuit Appears
Speculation Among Fans That It Might Be Support for Harris
Global pop star Taylor Swift sparked speculation that she might soon endorse Vice President Harris by posting a photo on social media (SNS).
Local media including The New York Times (NYT) reported on the 7th (local time) that the shadow in the photo posted by Swift resembles U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris. The photo Swift posted that day was from her 'Eras Tour' concert held in Warsaw, Poland. According to reports, Swift's fans began speculating that the photo might signify support for Vice President Harris.
In the photo posted by Swift, behind her waving to the audience, there is a silhouette shadow of a woman wearing a pantsuit. Like Swift, the woman is also waving, but the shape of the fingers and hair length differ.
There was a counterargument that the woman in the back is one of the backup dancers, and that the backup dancers have long worn pantsuits like the one seen in the photo on stage, but some fans still firmly believe this photo is a secret message, NYT reported.
According to reports, Swift has such a significant influence across American society that speculation around the photo has emerged. Her 'Eras Tour' concert, which began in March last year, has generated trillions of won in economic impact, even coining the new term 'Swiftomics.' Swift herself has become a 'social and economic phenomenon.'
Local media explain that Swift's power has emerged as a variable shaking up the scene ahead of the U.S. presidential election this November. When Swift posted a message encouraging fans to vote on Instagram in September last year, the number of newly registered voters increased by 35,000 in just one day.
Swift supported President Biden in the 2020 election. She has not yet officially expressed support for any candidate in this election.
Meanwhile, Swift is currently on her 'Eras Tour.' After touring North and South America, she has been touring Europe since May.
