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?
They’re not going to vote for Republicans I hope. I don’t really follow Swift but I assume she’s not, like, a deeply horrible person.
Generally speaking, because Republicans are a minority, the more people that show up to vote, the worse it is for Republicans. That’s why they work so hard to suppress voters. Anything that gets more people to vote is good for Dems even if you’re not asking people how they’re going to vote.

Tldr; yeah they’re not going to be voting Republican.
Unless she follows it up with a message about “remember to schedule some time on election day to vote” a few days before election day and another message on actual election day to remind people to go out and vote that day, all she has done is increased the available voters not the successful 2024 voters.
She released a whole anti Trump/Republicans song a while back called Only The Young:
And the big bad man and his big bad clan Their hands are stained with red Oh, how quickly, they forget They aren’t gonna help us Too busy helping themselves
Well given that her fans skew young and female, why would they? The Republican party is just 3 world-ending death cults in a trenchcoat and their staunchest supporters openly brag about abusing and oppressing women.
Fuck I’m going to laugh if Taylor Swift takes their guns though.
