President Joe Biden's team was desperate to enlist Taylor's help when his campaign began to falter earlier this summer.
Taylor backed him in 2020 when he ended Trump's four-year reign in Washington DC.
The insider claims Taylor is "excited" about the prospect of Harris becoming the first female president in United States history.
The Eras superstar was "very happy" when she succeeded Biden after he pulled out of the race, the sources exclusively told The U.S. Sun.

BLUE TRACK RECORD
Taylor's influence over millions of her fans could help the Democrats.
For example, if some Swifties are voters who remain unsure of their political allegiances, Harris could emerge triumphant on November 5.
Taylor has publicly entered the political discourse in the past.
In 2018, she publicly endorsed Democrat Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House in Tennessee.
At the time, Taylor called Bredesen's Republican opponent, Marsha Blackburn, a "Trump in a wig."
In 2022, the singer ripped the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
"I'm absolutely terrified that this is where we are - that after so many decades of people fighting for women's rights to their own bodies, today's decision has stripped us of that," Taylor wrote on X at the time.
Who has Taylor Swift endorsed for the US presidential election?
Taylor Swift is gearing up to throw her support behind Kamala Harris and Tim Walz's campaign, a source exclusively disclosed to The U.S. Sun.
The pop superstar has been keeping fans guessing as to who she will endorse in the upcoming November election. But, now, The U.S Sun has learned Taylor will endorse Harris "4 to 6 weeks" before election day.
Taylor Swift's ties to Democrats:
- The Eras superstars devoted Swifties fans have long speculated that Taylor will vote for Harris in the presidential election.
- That assumption is based on the fact that Taylor endorsed Joe Biden in 2020.
- In March, the star encouraged her millions of Instagram followers to have their say in the presidential primaries.
- But it was a nonpartisan message, which urged fans to “vote the people who most represent YOU into power.”
- In 2020, she lashed out at then-President Donald Trump, vowing to vote him out of office.
- Before that, in 2018, Taylor publicly endorsed Democrat Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House in Tennessee.
- At the time, Taylor called Bredesen's Republican opponent, Marsha Blackburn, a "Trump in a wig."
In 2020, Taylor snapped at then-President Trump after he called George Floyd protestors in Minnesota "thugs" and vowed to send the US military into the city.
"After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence?" Taylor said to Trump on X.
"When the looting starts the shooting starts??? We will vote you out in November."

A whopping 61% of those surveyed said that Taylor's endorsement would not impact who they vote for in the presidential election.
According to the survey, an additional 19% voted that her celebrity support would have "not much of an impact. "
