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.”
