The political scene in the US is heating up with celebrities throwing their weight around, from music industry moguls to Hollywood royalty. Everyone is choosing sides and making it clear just how important this election is. Some stars have faced major backlash for speaking out, while others are bringing in a whole wave of new voters. And if that is not wild enough, a few have turned the hate into straight-up love, raising a ton of cash to fuel their chosen political campaigns.

While Taylor Swift's support for the Democrats is well known, here is a rundown of the other industry powerhouses who have picked their team for the upcoming election.

Womanhood is all about having each other’s backs, and like it or not, politics plays a bigger role in empowering women than one might think. So, when celebrities started jumping into the political endorsement game, Jennifer Lawrence did not hesitate, much like Taylor Swift, to voice her support for the Democrats. In a recent conversation with PEOPLE, Lawrence said she is backing Kamala Harris in the upcoming election, explaining Harris will do "whatever it takes to protect reproductive rights."

True to form, Lawrence took a playful swipe at the online trolls who love to mock her for getting political, humorously addressing their digs about her education.

Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift may differ on the charts, but they align politically

While Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift may not see eye-to-eye in musical rollouts, when it comes to politics, they are on the same team. Recently, Eilish and her brother Finneas took to Instagram on National Voter Registration Day, posting a video in support of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Just like Jennifer Lawrence and Swift, Eilish stood behind the Democrats' stance on reproductive rights and urged followers to register—complete with a handy registration link.

“The choice is clear,” Eilish wrote, and yes, her backing of Harris is crystal clear too. While Eilish was out there telling fans to “vote like their lives depend on it,” pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo jumped in on the action too.

Olivia Rodrigo is a girl’s girl too

Kamala Harris and the Democrats have some serious backup from Hollywood and the music scene’s leading ladies, and Olivia Rodrigo has also joined the squad. Rodrigo showed her support for Vice President Harris by sharing a video of one of Harris’ speeches on protecting women’s rights on Instagram.

While she is not the first star to back the Democrats, her endorsement is another reminder that this election season, the biggest names are all about uplifting women. And it also has men on the team!

George Clooney is clear this political season like every other

George Clooney threw his support behind Kamala Harris during a recent CNN appearance. “We’re all excited to do whatever we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest,” Clooney said, fully backing the Democrats. At the premiere of his latest film Wolves, Clooney also gave a shout-out to Taylor Swift’s political endorsement, telling AP Entertainment he is impressed by the younger generation’s involvement in the “national discourse.” He called Swift a “real phenomenon,” and who could argue?

Swift’s endorsement sparked a surge in new voter registrations. However, not everyone is jumping on the political endorsement bandwagon or joining Team Harris, and Amber Rose, the rapper and reality star, is definitely staying in her own lane.

Amber Rose sends the rose to the other side of the fence

Amber Rose made quite the splash when she spoke at the Republican National Convention in July, throwing her support behind the Republicans and former President Donald Trump. Many were surprised, given her past criticisms of him, but Rose said her views shifted after doing her homework and hitting up his rallies.

Rose emphasized that the Republicans are all about “love,” insisting they do not care about a person’s skin color, race, or orientation. The US presidential elections have turned into a star-studded spectacle, and the big names here are just the tip of the iceberg.

From the depths of the music scene, John Legend, who wowed audiences at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, has officially joined Team Harris, alongside big names like Barbra Streisand, Charli XCX, and Cardi B. While Beyoncé has not publicly endorsed anyone, she did give the Harris campaign the green light to use her track ‘Freedom.’ On top of that, director Spike Lee, documentarian Ken Burns, and stars like Rosie O’Donnell, Aubrey Plaza, and Jamie Lee Curtis have all jumped on board. And let us not forget Robert De Niro, who lent his voice to an ad for Joe Biden’s campaign.

On the flip side with Team Trump, one can find names like Kid Rock, Chris Janson, Azealia Banks, and Jason Aldean shaking things up. Roseanne Barr and Jon Voight have also made their loyalties clear, and Brittany Mahomes’ public endorsement left Taylor Swift fans in shock, given their close bond. With so many more stars starting to make their voices heard, the next few weeks will be a wild ride to see whose star power truly shines.
