Harris Campaign gains big with Taylor Swift Endorsement
This is a major win for the Harris campaign as Swift has over 283 million followers on Instagram and a loyal fan base. At the end of her post, Swift linked the federal voter registration website which gained over 338,000 visits since the post was published. The pull and reach that Taylor Swift possesses could easily Harris a couple of thousand (or more) new voters in November.
Swift signed her post as 'childless cat lady' which was a slight at Trump running partner JD Vance who commented earlier this year about childless women not being the best fit to run the country.

It is so wild how much of an impact celebrities can have on our elections. Taylor Swift is certainly justified in clarifying her political position after seeing AI images created of herself supporting Trump. I think it's great that she encourages her young fans to register to vote and take political action, especially since the younger generation is the least heard from during major elections. I'll be interested to see how this effects the major event in November! I do wish the singer had clarified which rights and causes she shares with the Harris campaign, but I will remain hopeful for more information from her in future posts.

ReplyDeleteHaving Taylor Swift endorsement will indeed help Harris campaign. Many people specially the youth that follow Taylor will definitely lean to Kamala’s side. Having celebrities in one’s side give a lot of attention to attract potential voters.
