Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick JD Vance has ignited outrage from Taylor Swift fans after a clip of him slamming ‘childless cat ladies’ in reference Kamala Harris resurfaced.
Trump’s running mate, 39, has faced the wrath of Swifties after a video from 2021 began recirculating online in which he questioned the minds of women who don’t have kids and instead own cats.
The resurrected footage saw Vance criticizing childless women such as Kamala Harris while speaking to Tucker Carlson on Fox News.
He claimed that women without kids don’t have a ‘direct stake’ in the future of America as he added that these women are ‘miserable at their own lives and their choices they made so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too.’
And while, the Republican VP nominee dubbed it a ‘basic fact,’ his words have caused bad blood with Swift’s fans as they advised him to calm down before he faces the ‘fury’ that is a ‘certain childless cat lady who has yet to endorse a presidential candidate.’

In the clip, Vance slammed the prospect of turning the country over to childless women.
He said: ‘I’m saying that we are effectively run in this country via the Democrats by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and they choices they made so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too.
‘It’s just a basic fact. You look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC, the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. How does it make any sense that we have turned our country over to people that don’t have any stake 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 that the 34-year-old, who is a proud owner of three cats, has.
The songstress endorsed President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 2020 but has yet to endorse a nominee this election.
One person said: ‘Hell hath no fury like a certain childless cat lady who has yet to endorse a presidential candidate.’
Someone else added: ‘A lot of cat ladies are gonna be mad.’
Another user commented: ‘Cats are great judges of character – that’s why JD is frightened by them.’

One user added: ‘I hope Taylor comes out for Kamala and against all these sexist comments from the Trumplican party and Trump himself.’
‘So sick of the “baby factory” misogyny,’ wrote someone else.
Another person commented: ‘By that reasoning no males have a “direct stake ” in America either.’
One user said: ’29 per cent (46.5 million) of US households own cats… which large voting block is JD going to alienate next?’
Someone else added: ‘The reproductive history of a woman is none of your business and cruel to women. My daughter is unable to get pregnant. She does not have to explain to everyone why she is childless. It is personal and unbearably painful.’
‘Cat ladies will rule,’ one fan added.
Someone else said: ‘This cannot be for real. Every American has a direct stake in America whether they have children or not!’
One person wrote: ‘There needs to be a Cat Ladies for Harris movement started ASAP!’
‘They really don’t want women to vote for them,’ said someone else.
In 2020, Taylor endorsed Joe and Kamala by revealing that she wished her vote for the Democratic party will begin a ‘healing process’
Many people pointed to Taylor’s Time Magazine shoot, 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-riddled romance with NFL star Travis Kelce – is childless and is a lover of cats.
Jennifer Aniston has also spoken out in recent days about the remarks previously made by Vance.
‘I truly can’t believe that this is coming from a potential VP 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 bear children of her own one day.
‘I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too.’
Vance and wife Usha, 38, have three kids – sons Ewan, six, and Vivek, four, and daughter Mirabel, two.
Kamala became a stepmother to two children – Cole, 29, and daughter Ella, 25 – when she married entertainment lawyer Douglas Emhoff in 2014
Although Taylor has yet to endorse a candidate, Kamala has already been supported by a slew of A-listers such as former President Obama, Viola Davis, Kerry Washington, Charli XCX, Olivia Rodrigo, George Clooney and more
