The electronically nematic order has emerged as a key feature of cuprate superconductors,however, its correlation with the fundamental properties such as the electromagnetic response remains unclear. Here the nematic-order state strength dependence of the electromagnetic response in cuprate superconductors is investigated within the framework of the kinetic-energy-driven superconductivity. It is shown that a significant anisotropy of the electromagnetic response is caused by the electronic nematicity. In particular, in addition to the pure d-wave component of the superconducting gap, the pure s-wave component of the superconducting gap is generated by the electronic nematicity, therefore there is a coexistence and competition of the d-wave component and the s-wave component. This coexistence and competition leads to that the maximal condensation energy appears at around the optimal strength of the electronic nematicity, and then decreases in both the weak and strong strength regions, which in turn induces the enhancement of superconductivity, and gives rise to the dome-like shape of the nematic-order state strength dependence of the superfluid density.
