Taylor Swift can boldly declare that men and women lie, but numbers do not.
The artist accounts for some big numbers, but Donald Trump and some Republicans believe it is all a trick or even a hoax being pushed by the Democrats to sell a narrative.
Immediately after the Kamala Harris-Donald Trump debate, Taylor Swift dominated the headlines by making her political endorsement public.
The mega pop star penned a lengthy post on Instagram announcing that she was backing Harris this election cycle. Swift enumerated a long list of personal reasons for her decision.
The singer and songwriter said she would vote for Harris because she “fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them” and went on to describe her as “a steady-handed, gifted leader.”
Taylor Swift’s support for the vice president was followed by a short message encouraging her million of followers to register to vote during the presidential election.
Swift invited her fans to visit the nonpartisan nonprofit Vote.org. She wrote via Instagram Stories: “I’ve been so lucky to see so many of you at my U.S. shows recently. I’ve heard you raise your voices, and I know how powerful they are. Make sure you’re ready to use them in our elections this year!”
Swift was the target of backlash for announcing her political views with a loud message from Donald Trump that simply read, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT.”
However, some raw and authentic data has been published, giving Trump and his conservative associates a new reason to dislike and fear Swift even more.
According to NPR, NBC, The New York Times, and Forbes, Swift has generated some extraordinary numbers on vote.gov.
Since Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris, an impressive 405,999 users have been directed to the site vote.gov, a clear indication of her influence on voter engagement.
The link in Swift’s Instagram message led to 35,252 new registrations. A breakdown of the numbers showed a 23% jump compared to 2023.
Since Taylor Swift’s foray into politics, the number of 18-year-olds registering to vote has doubled compared to 2022, a powerful testament to the impact of her endorsement on the younger generation of Americans.
Andrea Hailey, CEO of Vote.org, said: “It is a highly encouraging sign of voter enthusiasm, especially among voters who have become eligible since turning 18. Time and time again, young people are showing up and demonstrating they care about their rights and access to the ballot box.”
Amidst these significant developments, conservatives have been quick to dismiss the surge in registered voters as a liberal ploy.
Anti-Swift voices claim that the polls show Trump has huge leads over Harris in the battleground states.
