Taylor Swift managed to drive record-breaking numbers to voter registration website Vote.org after urging her 232 million followers on Instagram to take action.
On Tuesday (19 September), hours after the pop star, 32, called on her US fanbase to register to vote in honour of National Voter Registration Day, Vote.org’s communication director, Nick Morrow, announced that “our site was averaging 13,000 users every 30 minutes”.
“Fun fact: after @taylorswift13 posted on Instagram today directing her followers to register to vote on @votedotorg, our site was averaging 13,0000 users every 30 minutes,” Morrow wrote on X/Twitter.
“13! Let’s just say her reputation for being a mastermind is very well-earned.”
Earlier that day, the “Anti-Hero” singer had posted to her Story, asking followers: “Are you registered to vote yet?
TiL I’m a Swifty.
She’s got my vote

Sure, but people can still do good things that are note worthy despite other short comings.
Person: saves child’s life. Did you know person is also rude to waiters?
But also the child they saved… Adolf Hitler… /s
Yes, this is true and an issue. My question is why you are bringing this up now during this kind of conversation. It’s quite “both siding” it

It’s sad that so many didn’t consider what it means to be able to vote and weren’t already registered. It’s even worse that they only did it after a celebrity told them to. I’m not sure I like the thought of those kinds of people voting.
The 18-30 demographic in this country is notorious for not voting. It’s been a thing for a long time. Which is part of the reason politics is so conservative*.
MTV was running the “Rock the Vote” campaign 30 years ago, in attempts to get younger people to vote. This is not a new situation at all.
*There are younger conservatives, but the younger demographics tend to skew liberal/progressive.
45% of her fan base are millennial so mostly outside of that demographic on 11% are gen z

I thought her fans were mostly young girls, as in, not yet able to vote.
Still cool, not sure it’s newsworthy though.
Clearly at least 13,0000 are not.
They were like 15 years ago. Her fandom is like 30 now
They are, only white trash listen to her
Her fans are all racist conservatives, to hell with her and her garbage mall shopping music
Lolwut?
Yikes.
Are her fans kinda unhinged? Yeah maybe. Racist conservatives? Unlikely.
