Swifties to the polls!

Associated Press

Taylor Swift is encouraging her pack of Swifties to head to the polls on Election Day.

“Voters gonna vote!” Swift wrote in a post to her 275 million Instagram followers, riffing off the lyrics to her hit single “Shake It Off.”

In the post, she encouraged those registered to vote in Colorado, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia to “use your voice” and directed them to the nonpartisan voter advocacy group Vote.org for more information.

Vote.org says nearly 40,000 people registered to vote on their website after Swift mentioned the group on National Voter Registration Day in September.

1. Heart stopping numbers!

If she could deliver even 75,000 votes, 3/4 of which are in marginal close races, she could tilt 2024 Congress by 7-10 seats!

[DemocraticPatriot]

37. We need her in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan in 2024!

I always did love that song about Romeo and Juliet-- even though I am a 'rocker', it touched my heart

[TSExile]

2. We can never underestimate...

...the good and the public service Taylor Swift has done for this country and its female populace. My hat's off!!

[ananda]

32. Yeah, this is giving me goosebumps.

Wow

[sheshe2]

3. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Rec and

[pwb]

4. She's got that right.

Women and the Young are rising up and taking over. IMO.

[ificandream]

7. Given the power she has over her fans, I'd say it is.

[Alice Kramden]

6. Yay, Taylor Swift!

Using her power for good

[Tom of Temecula]

8. A true patriot

Thank God for Taylor Swift.

[getagrip_already]

9. thats what calling her ugly and a bad singer will get you.....

Her fans will look at you with one of those twenty something sideways glances and thinks "if thats what you think, I ain't buying what you have"

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

38. I don't know her music at all

And if she passed by me on the street, it probably wouldn't register who she was.

However, I have seen some pictures of her, and calling her ugly is just...nuts.

People who say stuff like that about clearly attractive people always sound like middle-grade girls who are unpopular because they suck as people.

[twodogsbarking]

10. Not all billionaires are bad. She rocks.

[redqueen]

11. Love this and wish more would do the same!

I'm looking at you Nicki and Megan and Doja

[Hermit-The-Prog]

12. Whatever it takes to get people to the polls.

[erronis]

13. I'm showing my age. Thought you were referring to the "Swift Boat Veterans"

a right-wing hack group (funded by the same ones behind the current RW nuts) that lied about John Kerry.

Maybe I'll actually look up this person, Taylor Swift, since she (they?) get so much attention and adoration.

[murielm99]

14. I don't know her music at all,

but I am a fan of her behavior. She is one of the rare billionaires I like.

[hoosierspud]

36. Check out

"You Need to Calm Down" on YouTube. Great message, fun video.

[wryter2000]

39. Same here

Love this woman

[FailureToCommunicate]

20. The movie of her recent sell out concerts nationwide is on every movie marquee in

America right now, it seems. The ERAs Tour.

I'm not a "Swifty" but I know lots of young voting age people who are.
And they are a force (for good) to be reckoned with!

[oldsoftie]

26. She gave $55 million in bonuses to her tour crew. There's a starting point.

EVERYONE got big bonuses.

[BOSSHOG]

29. Same Here My Friend

The Swift Boat Vets were the lying scum of their day. Totally horrible human beings egged on by trash Limbaugh. I’m retired Navy, I wouldn’t piss on them motherfuckers if they were on fire.

Taylor Swift is a patriot. And apparently a shrewd business woman.

[tanyev]

15. Dang, if Taylor Swift saves democracy,

I’m gonna have to start buying her music.

[murielm99]

16. Me too,

but she doesn't need our money. I will buy it anyway.

[BOSSHOG]

30. Check out her early work

About ten years ago. She dabbled quite well in country music.

[Rebl2]

40. Never

really listened to her country music, but knew that’s what she was known for early on. Don’t really listen to her music now. Just understand she is a Chiefs fan apparently all of a sudden.😉

[IronLionZion]

17. I voted for Dems and pro-choice candidates in Virginia just now

[PortTack]

18. Was never much of a fan..but boy I am now!!

[JHB]

19. Oh, thank dog! I reflexively associate that word with the Swiftboat Liars for Lies

Taylor has a much better class of Swifties than those grifters. (Actually, it'd be hard to avoid being better than that lot.)

[xmas74]

21. Im hoping if she's still with Kelce this time next year

She heavily encourages the youth vote in Missouri and Kansas.

[Maru Kitteh]

22. Well that's it :) I'm off to go buy some more of her music. Never saw myself as a swiftie bu

that stuff has really been growing on me lately

[MontanaMama]

35. It drives my 18 year old John Mayer fan nuts...

but I’m a Swiftie through and through.

[Codifer]

23. When I hear of "Swifties"

I first think of "Tom Swifties" ie: "I think I've got the clap, Tom said infectiously".

[retread]

28. "I'm going to the Doctor, Tom said patiently".

[Codifer]

31. Yep

"Now I can't remember when that was, I said vaguely."

[tavernier]

24. I LOVE HER!!!

No, musically I’m a Beatles, Queen fan.
But the girl is a brilliant role model musician to my kids and grands.

[SWBTATTReg]

25. And the joke that djt is, bragged that his insurrection song on 1/6 is bigger than any of her hits. I don't

believe it for a second. He's a piece of trash and worse, and she's worth her weight in gold. Good for her in getting voters to the polls.

[oldsoftie]

27. Taylor is an Industry to herself. An economic powerhouse.

[Johnny2X2X]

33. She's a brilliant business woman

An absolute powerhouse. She’s talented and smart. But she’s a marketing genius. I also think she’s a good person.

Not a big fan of her music.

[fierywoman]

34. Her appearances on Graham Norton are delightfully funny -- she's simultaneously very

self deprecating AND sure of what she believes in.
