We’re now (hopefully) mere hours away from finding out who will succeed Joe Biden as the next president of the United States.

On Tuesday, Americans who haven’t already cast their votes will be heading to the polls in favour of either the current vice president Kamala Harris or former leader Donald Trump.

The night before the election, the Demoratic candidate made a whistle-stop tour around the US, where she was joined by some of her star-studded celebrity supporters.

In the last few weeks, the likes of Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez and Billie Eilish have all given Harris their backing, while Donald Trump has already received selected support, including the CEO of the social media website once known as Twitter, Elon Musk, Olympian-turned-reality-star Caitlyn Jenner, rapper Ye and disgraced actor Mel Gibson.

Here’s a round-up of who Hollywood is backing in the next election…

Which key celebrities are endorsing Kamala Harris in the US election?

Taylor Swift

Having spent the first half of her career remaining deliberately neutral when it came to politics, Taylor Swift has become far more outspoken in recent years.

She became one of Harris and her running mate Tim Walz’s most prolific supporters in September, telling her followers she admired that the vice president “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,” Taylor continued. “I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”

Beyoncé

Having lent her support to the Democrats in numerous past elections, Beyoncé made her feelings clear last month, when she joined Harris at a rally in the singer’s hometown of Houston, Texas.

“I’m not here as a celebrity. I’m not here as a politician,” the Grammy winner told the 30,000 people reported by Harris’ presidential campaign to be in attendance. “I’m here as a mother, a mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we’re not divided.”

Lady Gaga

On the final night of Harris’ campaigning, Gaga made an appearance at a rally in Pennsylvania, not just to endorse the Demcoratic candidate but also to perform God Bless America.

“For more than half of this country’s life, women didn’t have a voice. Yet we raised children, we held our families together, we supported men as they made the decisions,” she said.

“But tomorrow, women will be a part of making this decision. Today I am holding in my heart all the tough, tenacious women who made me who I am. I cast my vote for someone who will be a president for all Americans.”

Introducing her own song The Edge Of Glory, she added: “We’re on the edge of something big. I feel so, so lucky to be here with you all tonight.”

Katy Perry

At a similar rally in Pittsburgh, Katy Perry also shared why she was endorsing Harris in the election.

“Four years ago, I became a mother,” the chart-topping singer said. “It was the best decision I’ve ever made. Orlando [Bloom, her fiancé] and I welcomed our daughter, Daisy, and she is the reason I am voting for Kamala Harris.

“I’ve known Kamala since before she was a senator. I’ve always known her to fight for the most vulnerable, to speak up for the voiceless and to protect our rights as women to make decisions about our own bodies. I know she will protect my daughter’s future, your children’s future, and our family’s future. So, Pittsburgh, let’s make Kamala Harris the next president of the United States.”

Katy previously performed her song Firework at Joe Biden’s inauguration, and sang the same hit at the Harris rally, as well as Dark Horse, Part Of Me and an ambitious cover of Whitney Houston’s The Greatest Love Of All.

Oprah Winfrey

Speaking at a rally in Philadelphia, Oprah warned of the potential dangers of a Donald Trump presidency.

“We don’t get to sit this one out,” she insisted. “’If we don’t show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again.”

George Clooney

Throughout Trump’s political career, George Clooney has been among his most high-profile critics, and was actually a key voice in urging Joe Biden not to continue his presidential campaign – which he eventually did, stepping aside so vice president Kamala Harris could run in his place.

In the week leading up to the election, the Oscar winner lent his voice to a campaign ad specifically aimed at men who had previously voted in favour of Trump.

“Before you cast your vote in this election, think about how it’ll impact the people you care about most,” he warned. “Remember: you can vote any way you want, and no one will ever know. What happens in the booth stays in the booth.”

Viola Davis

Like George Clooney, fellow Oscar winner Viola Davis also narrated a campaign video on behalf of Kamala Harris.

“The promise of America should be afforded to ALL!!” the Fences star wrote on Instagram. “When it is not, we all should take it very personal. I’m with her.”

Bruce Springsteen

The Boss gave Harris his personal endorsement back in October, in an Instagram video shot in a diner.

“Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are committed to a vision of this country that respects and includes everyone, regardless of class, religion, race, your political point of view or sexual identity,” he enthused. “That’s the vision of America I’ve been consistently writing about for 55 years.”

The music legend went on to brand Trump “the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime”.

In the comments, Walz responded: “Bruce — as a lifelong fan, I couldn’t be more honoured to have your support.”

Billie Eilish

Appearing in an Instagram video with brother Finneas, Billie told her fans: “We are voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because they are fighting to protect our reproductive freedom, our planet and our democracy. Vote like your life depends on it, because it does.”

Finneas agreed: “We can’t let extremists control our lives, our freedoms and our future. The only way to stop them and the dangerous Project 2025 agenda is to vote and elect Kamala Harris.”

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez was another of the celebrities to join Kamala Harris in person at one of her rallies in the weeks prior to the election.

The Love Don’t Cost A Thing singer made an appearance in Las Vegas days after a racist joke about Puerto Ricans was told by a comedian at a major pro-Trump event in New York, attended by the former president himself.

Referring to herself as “an American woman” and a “proud daughter and son of Puerto Rico”, J-Lo branded Trump “the biggest adversary America has internally ever had”, and accused him of “consistently working to divide us” throughout his tenure in politics.

“At Madison Square Garden, he reminded us who he really is and how he really feels. It wasn’t just Puerto Ricans that were offended that day,” she insisted. “It was every Latino in this country. It was humanity and anyone of decent character.”

Cardi B

“Just like Kamala Harris, I, too, have been the underdog. I’ve been underestimated, my success belittled and discredited,” Cardi told Harris supporters at a rally in Milwaukee.

“Let me tell you something. Women have to work 10 times harder, perform 10 times better, and still people question how we got to the top. I can’t stand a bully, but just like Kamala, I always stand up to one.”

Referring to Harris’ opponent as “Donny Trump”, the rapper continued: “He says he’s going to protect women whether they like it or not. Well, if his definition of protection is not the freedom of choice, if his definition of protection is making sure our daughters have fewer rights than our mothers, then I don’t want it!”

The Grammy winner also fired back at Trump supporter Elon Musk, when he branded her a “puppet” following a teleprompter malfunction.
