The same day Taylor Swift posted a message encouraging her followers to register to vote, over 35,000 people reportedly made a âRun (Taylorâs Version)â to do so on Vote.org.
âVote.org saw record-breaking traffic to our site this week as we celebrated National Voter Registration Day, a highly encouraging sign of voter enthusiasm especially among newly eligible voters. Time and time again young people are showing up and demonstrating they care about their rights and access to the ballot box,â Andrea Hailey, CEO of Vote.org said in a release.
The American multi-genre singer-songwriterâs post also linked to the organizationâs website, according to the release. In the Instagram post, Swift called on her army of fans, also known as âSwiftiesâ to â[r]egister to vote in less than 2 minutesâ via the nonprofitâs site.
To be fair, most people donât listen or care to listen to politics. Donât blame them.
But many DO listen and care about their entertainment. Iâll take it if it means people who wouldnât get involved do now. Especially if her fans are of the younger progressive variety.
Thatâs exactly the point OP made
Thereâs a reason Woodie Guthrie wrote âThis Machine Kills Fascistsâ on his guitar.
