American singer-songwriter, Taylor Swift might be worth millions with a few Grammy’s on the shelf of her mansion but the talented beauty has now dipped into the political pot!
Just two days ago, T-Swift posted a pic on Instagram for her 112 millions followers to see and had a very lengthy caption where she addressed some wrongdoings in the United States as well as call out the Republican representatives that were running in Tennessee. Swift ended it by encouraging her followers (who have already reached the legal voting age) to go out, register and vote for who they think will do the right thing.
For anyone who says that the country singer has no influence, you’re about to eat your words. Since her Instagram post, BuzzfeedNews has reported that Vote.org has received an unprecedented flood of new voter registrations nationwide.
Kamari Guthrie, director of communications for Vote.org has said, “We are up to 65,000 registrations in a single 24-hour period since T. Swift’s post.” The organisation has gotten 5,183 in the state so far this month — at least 2,144 of which were in the last 36 hours, she said, up from 2,811 new Tennessee voter registrations for the entire month of September.
While it was never known where she stood politically, it seems that T-Swift is tired of keeping silent.
