Donald Trump’s vice presidential nominee JD Vance has sparked outrage among Taylor Swift fans after a clip resurfaced of him criticising “childless cat ladies” in reference to Kamala Harris.
Trump’s 39-year-old running mate has faced the wrath of Swifties after a 2021 video began circulating online in which he questioned the minds of women who don’t have children and instead own cats.
Resurrected footage shows Vance criticizing childless women like Kamala Harris while speaking to Tucker Carlson on Fox News.
She said childless women have no “direct interest” in America’s future, adding that these women are “miserable about their own lives and the choices they made, so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”
And while the Republican vice presidential candidate called it a “basic fact,” his comments have sparked anger among Swift’s fans, who advised her to calm down before facing the “wrath” of “a certain childless cat lady who has yet to endorse a presidential candidate.”

Trump’s 39-year-old running mate has faced the wrath of Swifties after a 2021 video began circulating online in which he questioned the minds of women who don’t have children and instead own cats.
In the clip, Vance criticized the prospect of handing the country over to childless women.
He said: ‘I’m saying that we are effectively ruled in this country through the Democrats by a bunch of childless cat-loving women who are miserable with their own lives and the choices they’ve made, so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too.
“It’s a basic fact. If you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC, the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. What’s the point of us handing our country over to people who have no interest in it?”
His “cruel” and “alienating” claims recently caught the attention of Taylor’s fans as they reminded Trump’s running mate of the power the 34-year-old, who is a proud owner of three cats, wields.
The singer supported President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 2020, but has yet to endorse any candidate in this election.
One person said: “There is no greater anger than a childless cat lady who has yet to endorse any presidential candidate.”
Someone else added: ‘A lot of cat loving women are going to be upset.’
Another user commented: “Cats are great judges of character, that’s why JD is afraid of them.”

One user added: ‘I hope Taylor stands with Kamala and stands against all these sexist comments from the Trumplican party and Trump himself.’
“I’m so sick of the ‘baby factory’ misogyny,” another person wrote.
Another person commented: “By that reasoning, no man has a ‘vested interest’ in America.”
One user said: ’29 percent (46.5 million) of American households have cats… which large voting bloc is JD going to alienate next?’
Someone else added: “A woman’s reproductive history is none of your business and it’s cruel to women. My daughter can’t get pregnant. She doesn’t have to explain to everyone why she doesn’t have children. It’s personal and unbearably painful.”
“Cat women will rule,” added one fan.
Someone else said: “This can’t be true. All Americans have a vested interest in America, whether they have children or not!”
One person wrote: ‘A Cat Ladies for Harris movement needs to be started ASAP!’
“They really don’t want women to vote for them,” another person said.
In 2020, Taylor endorsed Joe and Kamala by revealing that she wanted her vote for the Democratic Party to begin a “healing process.”
Many people highlighted Taylor’s photo shoot for Time magazine, in which she was named Person of the Year and posed with her cat.

They drew connections to the fact that Taylor, who is in a PDA-filled romance with NFL star Travis Kelce, has no children and is a cat lover.
Jennifer Aniston has also spoken out in recent days about Vance’s previous statements.
“I really can’t believe this is coming from a potential Vice President of the United States,” the Friends star said on the social media platform.
‘All I can say is… Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to have children of her own one day.
“I hope she doesn’t have to resort to IVF as a second option, because you’re trying to take that away from her, too.”
Vance and his wife Usha, 38, have three sons, Ewan, six, and Vivek, four, and daughter Mirabel, two.
Kamala became a stepmother to two children, son Cole, 29, and daughter Ella, 25, when she married entertainment lawyer Douglas Emhoff in 2014.
Although Taylor has yet to endorse any candidate, Kamala has already received support from a slew of celebrities including former President Obama, Viola Davis, Kerry Washington, Charli XCX, Olivia Rodrigo, George Clooney and more.
