    Billie Eilish has endorsed Kamala Harris for president

    That 'What Was I Made For?' singer and her brother Finneas O'Connell have urged their followers to register and vote early in the upcoming presidential election and argued people's lives "depend on" the current vice president triumphing over Donald Trump in the upcoming poll


    The duo shared a video on Instagram which was captioned: "It's National Voter Registration Day. We are voting for Harris-Walz. The choice is clear. Check your voting status here: iwillvote.com"

    In the video, the pair explained their choice.

    Billie, 22, said: "We are voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because they are fighting to protect our reproductive freedom, our planet and our democracy."

    Finneas, 27, added: "We can't let extremists control our lives, ours freedoms and our future. The only way to stop them and the dangerous Project 2025 agenda is to vote and elect Kamala Harris."

    Billie continued: "Vote like your life depends on it, because it does."

    The post is likely to spark the wrath of Trump, who dec lared he "hates" Taylor Swift a few days after she also endorsed his political rival.

    He raged online on Sunday (15.09.24) in an all-capitalised message: "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!"

    The 'Cruel Summer' hitmaker had pledged her support in an Instagram message which drove more than 400,000 visitors to the vote.gov site in under a day.

    She said: "I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and (her vice president nominee) Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election.

    "If you haven't already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most... as a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country."

    Taylor also used her note to blast images generated by artificial intelligence that were reportedly shared by the former president on Truth Social that had suggested she was backing him to return to the White House.

    She said: "Recently I was made aware that AI of 'me' falsely endorsing Donald Trump's presidential run was posted to his site.

    "It really conjured up my fears around AI and the dangers of spreading misinformation.

    "It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter.

    "The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth. I've done my research, and I've made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make."

    In a dig at Trump's running mate JD Vance, 40, and his infamous jibe at women who didn't have children, the singer signed off her post as: "Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady."
