Congress flocks to Taylor Swift concert

There's plenty of bad blood between Republicans and Democrats in Congress, but for two nights in July, one woman will bring them together: Taylor Swift.

A whopping 19 congressional lawmakers and political action committees are reserving private boxes to host fundraisers at Swift's concert at Nationals Park on July 13 and 14. A handful of lawmakers booked spots earlier this month, but since then, the number of politicos advertising events at the concert has exploded, according to information listed by technology firm Coalescent on behalf of their subscribed clients.

The bipartisan gathering might not amount to a love story between the parties, but 13 Republicans and 6 Democrats plan to charge supporters from $750 to $2,500 per ticket for a chance to hobnob with elected officials during the show. Tickets are available to the public for around $60.

The upcoming money-makers aren't the first time lawmakers have hosted events tied to Swift. A smaller group of politicians also used Swift's D.C. visits in 2010 and 2011 as well, according to the Sunlight Foundation, which tracks political fundraising.

For her part, Swift doesn't advertise her political views.

"I try to keep myself as educated and informed as possible," she told TIME in 2012. "But I don't talk about politics because it might influence other people."

Here is the full list of fundraisers.

On a serious note, good for her.  We need more "unity" in this world (or country, at least).

​Why pit them against each other? These congressmen aren't there for Taylor anyway, they're just trying to butter up their fundraisers.

​I wasn't serious, you know.  That's why I added "on a serious note," I wasn't pitting them against each other.
