    I know she’s popular, but are people really gonna go “I was going to vote for Trump, but Taylor said I should vote for Camala, so that’s what I’ll do”?

      She stated that since someone on Truth Social posted an AI-generated image of her endorsing Trump she felt she must set the record straight.

      She wrote why she’s voting for Kamala. She then encouraged her fans to research the candidates and decide for themselves which one best represented their own viewpoints.

      I did like her reminder that if you’re a new voter you do need to register first!

      But at no point did she tell anyone who to vote for…

      I’ve never like actually voted before but Taylor wouldn’t talk about it if it weren’t important

      Then they do their research (well they did, they read her post) and tap her story to get registered. She follows it up with another post around Election Day and they go vote.

      (No offense Swifties, just using one example. We can’t all be highly politically active, high-information citizens. Those who are will have gaps elsewhere in their lives instead.)

      She commands one of the most loyal fan followings in existence. It’s like, moving the needle percentages large and loyal, and also, disproportionately in places like GA, NC, FL, where it’s still tough going for Kamala.

      She got thousands of her fans to register to vote not long ago. I’m guessing they’ll vote for who she wants whether she tells them to or not.

      I find it hard to believe but according to a fan of hers I once talked to, they would vote for a rabid raccoon if she endorsed it.

      Probably not, but I’m sure some people are really gonna go, “I wasn’t going to bother voting, but Taylor said I should vote for Kamala.”

      At this point, this is a game of turnout.
