The same day Taylor Swift posted a message encouraging her followers to register to vote, over 35,000 people reportedly made a “Run (Taylor’s Version)” to do so on Vote.org.

Vote.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,” Andrea Hailey, CEO of Vote.org said in a release.

The American multi-genre singer-songwriter’s post also linked to the organization’s website, according to the release. In the Instagram post, Swift called on her army of fans, also known as “Swifties” to “[r]egister to vote in less than 2 minutes” via the nonprofit’s site.

    It was her publicist that made her have those parties and never give any political statements. 2018 coincided with when she left her old publisher. She has talked about being pushed to apolitical as possible so as to appeal to conservative America.

      That sounds right. I can’t remember what she said exactly, but I could swear she also said once that she was taught in country music to be apolitical and not speak out.

      I have to say, I’m really glad she left that publicist. She seems genuinely happier.
