Kamala Harris’ VP pick Tim Walz immediately activated the Swifties

Vice President Kamala Harris picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) for a variety of reasons: Their reported chemistry in interviews, his viral weird claim that took over the discourse, and his folksy, Midwestern appeal.

But she may have also accidentally activated the internet's most vocal fandom.

That's because Walz is a Swiftie.

In his tenure as governor of Minnesota, Walz proclaimed June 23 and 24—the days Taylor Swift's "Eras Tour" visited the state—as "Taylor Swift Days" in 2023.
