Election Day is Nov. 5 and both presidential candidates are bringing their own celebrity endorsements to the voting booth.
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have both courted a cast of stars that stretch from Hollywood to Nashville during their sprint towards Nov. 5, when everyday Americans head to the polls to cast their ballots.
Harris carries A-list endorsees heading into Election Day from pop superstars Beyoncé and Taylor Swift to hip-hip heavyweight Cardi B, who headlined a campaign rally in suburban Milwaukee on Nov. 1.
Trump holds endorsements from some of the country's most outspoken conservatives from country star Jason Aldean, Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner, reality TV star Savannah Chrisley and "Achy Breaky Heart" hitmaker Billy Ray Cyrus.
Here's a list of the major A-list stars and others who are supporting Harris or Trump for the U.S. presidency.
Which celebrities are supporting Kamala Harris?
Beyoncé
Beyoncé told an energetic crowd on Oct. 15 she was not attending Vice President Harris' campaign rally in her hometown of Houston as a celebrity, but as a mom of three children, whom she shares with rap icon Jay Z.
"I'm not here as a celebrity. I'm not here as a politician. I'm here as a mother," she said. "Your freedom is your God-given right, your human right."

The "Cowboy Carter" creator graced the stage in support of Harris with her mom, Tina Knowles, and her longtime close friend and Destiny's Child collaborator Kelly Rowland.
Taylor Swift
After an "August" full of speculation about whether Taylor Swift would endorse either candidate, she put her name behind Harris when the pop star made her announcement following the only presidential debate during the 2024 general election cycle.
In an Instagram post shared after the debate, Swift wrote in a caption of a photo of her with her cat that she "will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz."
"I'm voting for @kamalaharris 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. 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," she wrote.
Eminem
Eminem introduced former President Barack Obama at a Harris rally on Oct. 22 in Detroit.
The city's homegrown hip-hop superstar encouraged the crowd to get out and vote, noted his support for Harris, and then turned the stage over to Obama. And the former president began his speech with a nod to Eminem's award-winning song, "Lose Yourself."
“I have done a lot of rallies, so I don’t usually get nervous. But I was feeling some kind of way following Eminem,” Obama said when he took the stage in Detroit, Michigan.
“Now, I notice my palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, vomit on my sweater already, mom’s spaghetti, I’m nervous but on the surface I look calm and ready to drop bombs but I keep on forgetting,” Obama rapped as the crowd burst into cheers.

Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez and other celebrities supporting Harris
In recent weeks, the Harris campaign has recruited a roster of A-list celebrities to drum up support for the vice president during closing arguments at her "When We Vote We Win" rally and concert series in crucial swing states, including North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
Celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Bon Jovi, Khalid, Maggie Rogers, and Gracie Abrams have been called upon to publicly support Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Julia Roberts also narrated a recent ad from Vote Common Good that was cut in support of Harris. LeBron James, considered by some to be the greatest NBA player of all time, endorsed Harris on Halloween.
A-list actors: Dick Van Dyke, Harrison Ford and Chlo? Grace Moretz
The Harris campaign received a boost from the silver screen when several movie stars threw in their support for the vice president, including "Mary Poppins" star Dick Van Dyke.
Just one day before Election Day, the Emmy-winning actor and comedian announced on his official YouTube channel that he was endorsing Harris. In the Nov. 4 video, Van Dyke read from "Twilight Zone" creator Rod Serling's "A Most Non-Political Speech," which he originally read at a 1964 Religious Witness for Human Dignity event featuring civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.
"To those who tell us that the inequality of the human animal is a necessary evil, we must respond by simply saying that first, it is evil, but it's not necessary," Van Dyke read. "We prove it by reaffirming our faith. We prove it by having faith in our affirmations."

Actress Chlo? Grace Moretz urged her fans to vote for Harris in the election in a Nov. 1 Instagram post, writing that the Democratic candidate will protect reproductive rights and LGBTQ equality. Moretz, who came out as a "gay woman" in the post, added, "We need protections in this country and to have access to the care we need and deserve."
"Indiana Jones" star Harrison Ford similarly vouched for Harris' presidency in a Nov. 4 video shared by British outlet The Independent. "When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms saying, 'for God's sake, don't do this again,' you have to pay attention. They're telling us something important," he said.

Pop stars: Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera
Several music superstars, from Lady Gaga and Katy Perry to Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera, lent their support to Harris' presidential bid with a series of rally performances on Nov. 4.
Taking the stage at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Gaga sat at a grand piano and delivered a powerful rendition of "God Bless America."
"For more of this country's life, women didn't have a voice. Yet we raised children, we held our families together, we supported men as they made the decisions. But tomorrow, women will be part of making this decision," Gaga said. She added that she believed Harris would be a president "for all Americans."
Prior to Martin's performance, the Puerto Rican superstar told Rolling Stone in a statement that Harris is a "leader who stands with" the Latino community and "will fight for us as president."
Perry, who performed for the Harris campaign in Pittsburgh, said Harris "will protect my daughter's future and your children's future." Fellow pop princess Aguilera encouraged rally attendees in Las Vegas to "raise our voices and vote for freedom."

Which celebrities are supporting Donald Trump?
In his third race for the U.S. presidency, Trump is supported by a slew of celebrities who've made headlines over the past decade from Amber Rose to Aldean.
Jason Aldean
Country singer Jason Aldean took the stage at a rally in Duluth, Georgia, last month to introduce former President Trump. The Georgia native was also spotted sitting next to Trump at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in July.
“He’s a president who when knocked down, gets back up, raises his fist in the air and says ‘fight,’” Aldean said, referring to a now infamous photo of Trump after the first assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania, standing with his fist in the air, chanting, "Fight, fight, fight."
Aldean and his wife have had ties to Trump for years. The controversial "Try That In A Small Town" crooner defended the former president on social media earlier this year after Trump was criminally convicted by a New York jury on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
Amber Rose
Like Aldean, former reality TV star and Trump supporter Amber Rose also attended the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where she spoke in support of the former president on the convention stage.

During her speech, Rose focused on her role as a mother and a converted Trump supporter.
"Trump 2024," she wrote in an Instagram post in May, which included a photo of her next to Trump and Melania. She was met with pushback as many pointed out that she spoke out against Trump during his first run for the White House in 2016.
Savannah Chrisley
Former reality TV personality Savannah Chrisley took the podium at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in July to discuss her family's accusations of fraud and are serving a combined sentence of 19 years.
"We have a two-faced justice system. Just look at what they're doing to President Trump," Chrisley said at the convention. "All while, let's face it, Hunter Biden is roaming around free and attending classified meetings."
Chrisley starred in the USA Network reality show "Chrisley Knows Best" from 2014 to 2023. The show centered around Georgia real estate magnate Todd Chrisley, Savannah's father, and their family. Todd Chrisley and his wife Julie were convicted in 2022 of bank fraud and other financial crimes, and she has publicly advocated for them since then.
Caitlyn Jenner, Zachary Levi among celebrities supporting Trump
Caitlyn Jenner, Kid Rock, Chris Janson, Dr. Phil McGraw of "Dr. Phil" fame, Elon Musk, Dave Portnoy, Danica Patrick, "Chuck" actor Zachary Levi are among conservative Hollywood stars supporting former President Trump.
Levi, arguably among the most famous stars to endorse Trump, threw his support behind Trump for president after previously backing former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom he had backed in the 2024 election. With Kennedy's campaign suspended, Levi expressed support for Trump, the Republican presidential nominee.
"We are going to take back this country. We are going to make it great again ... Of the two choices that we have, and we only have two, President Trump is the man that can get us there," Levi said at a September event with Kennedy.
Media personalities: Joe Rogan and Megyn Kelly
Mega podcaster Joe Rogan endorsed Trump on the eve of the election.
In a Nov. 4 post promoting his podcast with X owner Elon Musk, he wrote, "The great and powerful @elonmusk ... He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way. For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump."
That same day, former Fox News host and media commentator Megyn Kelly endorsed the former president during one of his Pennsylvania rallies. "He will be a protector of women. And it's why I'm voting for him," she said.
