      >Her post encouraged first-time voters to be sure to register for the election, and a U.S. General Services Administration spokesperson reported on Wednesday receiving 337,826 visitors at vote.gov from a custom URL that Swift had shared.

      >“I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” Swift posted. She called Harris a “steady-handed, gifted leader” who could lead the country with calm rather than chaos.

      Will people trying to decide between Vice President Harris and Trump be swayed by this? Probably not. Will some of her fans be more encouraged to come out to vote for Harris? Probably

      While this is great, it is so bizzare to me that fans actually care? Like, think for yourself people… If you’re voting a certain way because your favorite celeb is voting that way, I have concerns about your decision making skills.

      Edit: You guys are not reading what I’m saying lol. I’m not pissed she’s endorsing biden, I’m glad. I find it weird that people let celebrities influence their vote. These mega celebs are some of the most out of touch people on the planet.

      The Swift fans that are NOT of voting age are the real danger to Trump. Have you seen a kid when they’re fired up about something? Those kids are gonna know every fact about every policy and every instance of Trump being terrible and everything wonderful about Kamala, and they are going to hammer their parents over the head with those facts. Parents are going to vote Kamala just to appease the kids because they’ll never hear the end of it otherwise.

      It’s time to take our country back for good. No more Trump, no more MAGA. Laugh at their weirdness and shame them for backing the literal worst person ever. I have no sympathy or empathy for anyone who still to this day supports the orange buffoon.

      Fun fact time:

      According to an analysis done back in April, using data that includes ticket sales, Eras tour attendance, TikTok views, Google search volumes, and Taylor Swift Facebook groups, the top five cities for Taylor Swift fans are:

      1. Santa Clara, CA
      2. **Tampa, FL**
      3. **Pittsburgh, PA**
      4. Kansas City, MO
      5. **Arlington, TX**

      Other notable cities in the top 20:

      **9. Glendale, AZ**
      **11. Atlanta, GA**
      **15. Philadelphia, PA**
      **18. Detroit, MI**
      **19. Houston, TX**
      **20. Las Vegas, NV**

      Bolded cities are in swing or potential upset states for this election.

      No way of knowing how many Swift fans are already registered in these areas but if her endorsement moves the needle at all in even half of these, Trump is probably fucked.

      Are these people going to vote ? Also do they live in those 7 states because others don’t matter at all

      How does the data know this is the result from Taylor’s post? A lot could have been a result of the debate itself.

      Regardless of that, it is still great news that more people are voting.

      Hopefully all of them will vote. Really need the non-voters to show up this time as only way to avoid months of lawsuits to overturn results is overwhelming results for Harris and other Democrats.

      Idk if this makes me happy or scared. The way it reads is that there are a bunch of first time voters who are only now registering because a celebrity is voting a certain way

      Like im happy that people are voting and for Kamala but it scares me that people were unwilling to vote in such a big election until a celebrity came along.
