Soon after the pop star finally broke her silence on the 2024 presidential election, throwing her support behind the Democratic ticket with an Instagram post signed “Childless Cat Lady” Tuesday night (Sept. 10), the VP and her running mate unveiled beaded bracelets spelling out “Harris-Walz” on their online store. The accessories have become a staple in Swiftie culture since the beginning of the Eras Tour, and now, American fans voting blue this year can show their support while adding a new token to their wrists.

“Are you ready for it? 🔥 Harris-Walz friendship bracelets have hit the store!” Team Kamala tweeted just after Swift gave her seal of approval.

At press time, the bracelets are already sold out. Listed at $20 for a pack of two, the accessories will help raise money for the Harris Victory Fund.

The new merchandise comes amid celebrations across the Democratic party over finally securing Swift’s public approval, with the “Karma” singer’s endorsement having arguably been the most highly anticipated of any celebrity. Swift ended up waiting to speak out until moments after Harris finished debating Republican opponent Donald Trump on ABC News, sharing an outtake from her 2023 TIME Person of the Year photoshoot — featuring her cat Benjamin Button — and writing that she was backing Harris “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,” the 14-time Grammy winner continued in her message, racking up 8-million-plus “likes” in the span of 12 hours. “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.”

Since then, Harris has used Swift’s Lover single “The Man” at a post-debate appearance, and Walz has said that he’s “incredibly grateful” to the star. “I say that as a fellow cat owner,” he added in a post-debate interview with MSNBC. “That was eloquent and that was clear and that’s the type of courage we need in America to stand up.”

Trump also weighed in. “She’s a very liberal person, she seems to always endorse a Democrat and she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace,” the twice-impeached ex-POTUS told Fox & Friends of the musician. “I like Brittany [Mahomes], I think Brittany’s great. Brittany got a lot of news last week she’s a big MAGA fan, that’s the one I like much better than Taylor Swift.”
