Pharrell Williams denies dissing Taylor Swift’s Kamala Harris endorsement: “I love her…’ | Filmymeet

The rapper and producer Pharrell Williams recently caught himself embroiled in a controversy when he said he doesn’t ‘do politics’ and gets ‘annoyed sometimes’ when celebrities get into endorsements. Since the statement came just a few days after Taylor showed her support to US Presidential election candidate Kamala Harris, rumors started doing the rounds that Pharrell was dissing Swift. However, in his recent interview, the musical artist cleared his stance and said that he loves Taylor and that his comments were not aimed at her.
“They pit you against each other. I love Taylor. She knows that,” said Pharrell in his GQ interview.
“I bought a ‘1989’ Taylor t-shirt online last year, and I was walking around here with it tucked into my jeans. I love her. I love people, bro. That was some right-wing troll shit,” he continued. “But I heard something the other day that made the most sense in the world: Right-wing, left-wing, all the same bird,” he added.
For the unversed, the original statement that led to the entire controversy in the first place was “I don’t do politics. In fact, I get annoyed sometimes when I see celebrities trying to tell you [who to vote for]. There are celebrities that I respect that have an opinion, but not all of them. I’m one of them people [who says], ‘What the heck? Shut up. Nobody asked you.’ When people get out there and get self-righteous and they roll up their sleeves and shit, and they are out there walking around with a placard: ‘Shut up!’ So, no, I would rather stay out of the way, and obviously, I’m going to vote how I’m going to vote. I care about my people and I care about the country, but I feel there’s a lot of work that needs to be done, and I’m really about the action.”
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift showed her support to Kamala Harris, with an Instagram post that read: “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos,” she continued. “I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”
