It looks like the pop mega-star may have pulled off another voter registration coup after encouraging her more than 283 million followers to make sure they are ready to vote in the Nov. 5 presidential election.

While the conventional wisdom has long been that celebrity endorsements of political candidates don’t matter, Taylor Swift has demonstrated success in encouraging her army of fans to become civilly engaged and to register to vote.

It looks like Swift may have pulled off another voter registration coup when she went on Instagram Tuesday night, following the combative presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The pop mega-star let her 283 million followers known that she was endorsing Democrat Harris for president and her running mate, Tim Walz, for vice president. She also encouraged her followers to make sure they are registered to vote in the Nov. 5 presidential election.

Over the next half day, more than 337,000 visitors landed on the Vote.gov site, directed there by the URL that was shared by Swift, according to a spokesperson with the General Services Administration.

1. That is News! Amazing. nt

[Shermann]

2. I expect a second wave due to the MSM reporting this. nt

3. Now all Taylor Swift has to do is write a song for Kamala and perform it in concert - game over.

5. She might have one "saved" for Kamala's inauguration night and play it at one of her balls.

Much like Beyonce did for the Obamas in 2009.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Are_One:_The_Obama_Inaugural_Celebration_at_the_Lincoln_Memorial

We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial was a public celebration of the then forthcoming inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States at the Lincoln Memorial and the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on January 18, 2009. By some estimates the attendance was over 400,000.

....

The concert featured performances by (in alphabetical order) Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Jon Bon Jovi, Garth Brooks, Mariah Carey, Sheryl Crow, Renée Fleming, Caleb Green, Josh Groban, Herbie Hancock, Heather Headley, Bettye LaVette, John Legend, John Mellencamp, Jennifer Nettles, Pete Seeger, Shakira, Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, U2, Usher, will.i.am and Stevie Wonder.

The concert also featured readings of historical passages by Jack Black, Steve Carell, Rosario Dawson, Jamie Foxx, Tom Hanks, Samuel L. Jackson, Ashley Judd, Martin Luther King III, Queen Latifah, Laura Linney, George Lopez, Kal Penn, Marisa Tomei, Denzel Washington, Forest Whitaker and Tiger Woods

4. This is extraordinary! At first, I was doubtful about Swift's advocacy, but no more!

I wonder if the campaign asked her to do this, knowing of course that not all of her fans would vote Dem. But enough just might and that could help Kamala enormously. The orange menace must be soiling his pants again....

6. She has been here before. Started in 2018 stating she learned lesson after 2016.

She thought she did not have a place to speak up but 2018 she stated she had to. She hit about mid twenties and she is all in.

7. Out of touch JD Vance goofed again when he dismissed Taylor Swift

As Bruce Springsteen rocked hard for Obama, Lady Gaga crooned for Hillary, now Pennsylvanian Taylor Swift is energizing voters for Kamala.

8. AWESOME news, BUT i really do fear for her.

I'm so happy and proud of her. Shame, this country had to change this way. Fucking cultist traitors are the trumpys.

[C0RI0LANUS]

10. Don't worry, Taylor Swift is pretty well protected.

Damon Runyan would have called her bodyguards gorill's.
