But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
It’s the same reason why Obama couldn’t be VP. He’s ineligible because he’s served two terms already. If you can’t be President, you can’t be Vice-President. And that makes sense, since the VP could become President at any time if something goes sideways.
A key duty of the VP is to become President if something happens to the President. It may not be a requirement, but it would cause the Speaker of the House, who might be from another party, to be the one who steps in.
Taylor Swift will be 35 years old before the inauguration. There is still time to sub her in as vice president.
Is there a requirement to be 35 years old for VP?
Yes, according to the 12th Amendment:

Could a 30 year old be speaker of the house? Or anywhere in the chain of succession?

You don’t want that.
Er, why settle for veep? Biden should endorse HER.
Nah, Biden is too old to be VP.
I’m fine with Kamala continuing as VP
I don’t know man. I really don’t want president Harris. Can we have Katie Porter as vice president instead?
Sounds like a decent idea, since she’s losing her Senate race.
Ya cuz she’s going to abandon her music career to be VP. Totally makes sense /s
