Carole Kingshowed off her rendition ofTaylor Swifts Shake It Off during theinaugural Swifties for Kamala call.
I am a Swiftie, and Taylor and I are actually friends, King said during the call.
We have had conversations backstage and I see her as sort of my musical and songwriting granddaughter.

We have a lovely relationship, and Im so proud of her.
But this is about you.
I know you have your ways of communicating and social networking and organizing.
She encouraged the Swifties on the call to get involved in multiple ways.
Ive been a political activist for years, King said.
Ive been a caller, Ive been a door knocker, even as a famous person.
Dont be afraid, because there is nothing to lose and everything to gain.
There is too much at stake.
The kick-off call raised $122,000 for the Harris-Walz presidential campaign.
It also featured Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representatives Becca Balint and Chris Deluzio as speakers.
When recalling the honor, King said she was both overwhelmed with emotions and humored by Swifts intro.
That was hilarious, King toldRolling Stonethat year.
An inspiration to all cats that they too can be on the cover of an album!
We are not waiting on Taylor to show her support for Kamala Harris, Reagan said.
But Swifties for Kamala arent waiting for her to do that.
