KAMALA Harris will be hoping Taylor Swift’s endorsement will be as effective for her as it has been for The Darkness.
A short candid clip of the pop behemoth singing along to “I Believe In A Thing Called Love” by the British cock rock revivalists has rocketed the 2003 hit to the top of the US charts.
Swift and her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, were filmed at the US Open tennis final with the songstress enthusiastically singing along to Justin Hawkins crooning vocal. That’s all it took for interest in the song to spike so much that it went to number one on the iTunes rock chart and magically reappeared on countless other charts worldwide.
Variety reported that between 12am and 12pm on Monday, US time, streams of the song on Spotify spiked by 70 percent and overall Darkness streams rose by 60 percent.
Hawkins reacted to the news by recounting how he attended a Swift show in Zurich recently with his daughter and that the industry-dominating performer had left him a note saying how much she liked his band and the song she was later filmed singing to her boyfriend.
Swift announced on Wednesday she was endorsing Harris, signing off as an “childless cat lady”.
