Yuuri 21,636 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Over the weekend, she wrote a lengthy Instagram postin which she endorsed Democratic political candidates in Tennessee, which prompted responses from one of the candidates, conservative political commentators, and even Donald Trump. It turns out that her words carry significant political weight, as there was an “unprecedented” uptick in voter registrations following her post. She again got political and encouraged people to vote last night at the AMAs, and Swift may actually change the way Tennessee votes. In a poll released on Sunday (based on data from before Swift’s post), Marsha Blackburn had an 8-point lead over Phil Bredesen, the candidate Swift supported for Tennessee’s U.S Senate race. It’s possible that the influx of new voter registrations following Swift’s post could sway the race, though, especially if the bulk of them are Democrat-leaning voters, as young people were in the 2016 election. It could also lead to an increase in young voters, as only about 50 percent of eligible people ages 18-29 voted in the 2016 general election. https://uproxx.com/music/taylor-swift-tennessee-voting-blue/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get why people have to dog on others for speaking out about what they believe in. Would you rather have her just say nothing at all?

She honestly doesn't need to, she does her job as a pop star. She's not a politician. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
