More than 35,000 register to vote after Taylor Swift's Instagram post: 'Raise your voices'

More than 35,000 people decided to register to vote after Taylor Swift shared a message on her Instagram. Taylor Swift is famous for her music and concerts, but she also wanted to encourage people to participate in the voting process.

She used her Instagram account, where she has 272 million followers, to tell people to register on a website called Vote.org. This website helps people register to vote, and it doesn't support any political party. Taylor Swift and Vote.org have been working together for a few years.

In her Instagram Story, Taylor Swift asked, "Are you registered to vote yet?" This message was available on Instagram for 24 hours. She also said that she's heard her fans raising their voices at her concerts, and she knows how strong their voices can be. She wanted them to use their voices in the upcoming elections.

Vote.org has a big goal: they want to register 8 million voters before the November 2024 election. Thanks to Taylor Swift's message, they are getting closer to this goal. After she posted on Instagram, Vote.org started getting 13,000 new users every 30 minutes. This is a big increase.

On National Voter Registration Day, Vote.org had more than 35,000 people sign up to vote. This is a 22.5% increase from the previous year. They also saw a 115% increase in 18-year-olds registering to vote compared to the year before.

It's important to note that Taylor Swift has been involved in politics since 2018. She supported the Equality Act in 2019 and criticized then-President Donald Trump in 2020 during protests following the killing of George Floyd. She also endorsed a candidate named Bredesen and expressed concerns about another candidate, Blackburn, during a congressional race. However, Blackburn ended up winning the seat.
