She also said the only reason she isn't being politically neutral like she typically does is because Trump posted AI pictures of her claiming she supports right-wing policies. She's now encouraging her massive fan base of young women to vote, a group that probably would have been apathetic beforehand. That's another massive unforced error for the Trump campaign.

Huh?

She said she's supporting Kamala and encouraged her fans to do their own research and decide who to vote for.

It's the same she said in 2020, and I believe 2016 too.

She's being just as politically active as she has been for like a decade, probably going back even further.

Recently I was made aware that AI of 'me' falsely endorsing Donald Trump's presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter.

You could have linked it instead of just quoting it...

"I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice," the Grammy-winning artist added. "Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story."
