Taylor Swift is giving a significant boost to U.S. voter registration.

During National Voting Day on Tuesday (Sept. 19), the pop superstar shared a message on Instagram urging her 272 million followers to register to vote through nonpartisan nonprofit Vote.org. The push resulted in more than 35,000 registrations, according to the organization.



 

Vote.org said it had 157,041 eligible voters visit the site after Swift’s message on Tuesday, marking the largest National Voter Registration Day since 2020. The organization also experienced a 72% increase in 18-year-old registrations compared to 2019 and a 115% increase in that age range compared to 2022.

 

“Time and time again young people are showing up and demonstrating they care about their rights and access to the ballot box,” Vote.org CEO Andrea Hailey said in a statement. “During the day on Tuesday we saw a 1226% jump in participation the hour after Taylor Swift posted. Our site was averaging 13,000 users every 30 minutes — a number that Taylor Swift would be proud of.”

This isn’t the first time Swift has reminded her fans of the importance of voting. The pop star has previously partnered with Vote.org to encourage people to cast their ballots.

The amount of power she has...

I know many of them were looking for clues while registering.

Now hopefully they vote for lgbtq and women's rights.

Let's not assume they're going to vote blue lol. She's big with young conservatives too. And they don't really care whether she likes Trump or not.

Nice! So at least she helped the country vote in more out-of-touch congressmen in larger numbers, so glad she did that rather than just making pro-LGBTQ+ statements (or any positive statement for that matter) all summer while performing in some of the most bigoted areas in America!

Eeeeeh I feel like stans influenced enough to register are probably gonna vote her way. That and higher voter turnout is associated with more democrats winning

[Hyoha 1,610]

I think she’ll become a legend in her own right soon enough. Her impact is unparalelled

[River 106,409]

This will backfire, the majority of her fans are conservatives, especially the adult ones.

Trump will come back because of Taylor

Why y’all saying conservatives will be more dominant when her fandom drastically changed to liberal instead of conservative? Her fandom literally grew larger in Lover era when she showed support for LGBTQ+ and feminism whether you liked the songs or not. She didnt lose any fans, instead she gained more?
