That’s significant.
Trump lost in 2020 by 11,780 votes.
That’s what he needed to take Georgia and their EC votes.
Taylor just got 30x that number of people to register in a single day.They have woken the Swifties.
May god have mercy apon their ragged souls.

I assume that’s a gif because I remember that line and it’s a perfectly hilarious response, but I just see a pic.
Gifs don’t seem to work for me. Is that a problem with Jerboa?
it’s a weird bug I get on voyager where it converts gif to jpeg.
I’m on Firefox on a PC and I see a jpeg.
It’s a jpeg
Do I look like I know what a jpeg is? I just want a picture of a got dang hot dog!
I’ve seen hotter.
“Nah, fuck all that…”
Now let’s recruit the K-Pop stans and only then will our victory be truly complete. We must unite these 2 forces for good.
It was only a matter of time until Donald incurred the wrath of TayTay
But but JD Vance said no one would be influenced by her!
Technically he said a “billionaire celebrity,” so he might have been referring to his boss.
Taylor Swift Net worth: 1.3 billion USD
And hers isn’t made up based off of Russian money laundering.
A reminder that all Trump businesses have failed and he’s literally bankrupted a casino five separate times (and a hotel once). One of his spawn has also stated that the family has been “debanked” or fired as clients (due to financial, legal, regulatory, or reputational risk). Ironic that debanking usually comes under scrutiny for how it has disproportionately targeted Muslims and minorities.
Correct. We know that. It’s a dig on the hypocrisy of what Vance said. Vance said a celebrity billionaire wouldn’t have influence, and his running mate is exactly that.
Don’t forget that they have Elon “pledging” something like $40M per month to the canpaign.
Someone is going to get “Swift Voted”
That’s excellent. Thank you.
How many are from the esteemed nation of PAWANEVMIAZGANC?
I’d guess a few. Swift’s background in country means she’s got a big fanbase in GA and NC. Even bigger than the other states, I mean.
That’s an encouraging sign.
Even a 1% boost in turn out from young people could mean a lot in many races across the country, in swing state country I mentioned or not. Most people aren’t Swifties, but chances are young people would have at least a friend of a friend who is one who may motivate the people around them to get involved this election.
I know there is work to be done every single day through the election. But just for this moment I’m going to just breathe it all in and enjoy. I think we all earned that.
That’s very wise; I’m proud of you for recognising this
quite a swift response
Different kind of swiftboat in play this election.
All I can say is: lololol
It seems like a bad idea to track where traffic is coming from when a person is signing up to vote. We know the sort of opponent in this endeavor, why give them the ability to start determining who might have papers or information get accidentally lost in the application process?
The election is being run by non-fascists. If we want to keep it that way, we need to vote.
Vote.gov is aware of the traffic. It redirects you to your state website to actually register. Those websites would only see traffic from vote.gov, not anything from a tracking URL.
Vote.gov uses custom links to see what is effective in getting people to register to vote so they can continue doing that, as that’s their mandate.
As a note, this is 10x as many people signing up same day then in 2022 when she directed people to vote.org
Yep, just now realizing my mistake. Thanks, I’ll edit!
The article itself says:
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
Edit: I had clicked the wrong link. OP’s headline is thankfully correct!
That was 2022, when she used the vote.org link, which is a charity that registers people to vote. Yesterday, she used vote.gov, which is a government service that redirects people to their local state registration services.
OPs headline is the same as the article from this year, and is accurate as it lists referrals, which is what vote.gov does.
Think that’s because this time it’s a “vote to defend me” kind of situation?
Nope. At no point did she ask her fans to “vote to defend me.”
She expressed her political opinions, and extolled them to express their own several times, then dropped a link about registering to vote.
She basically said “I believe this and will be voting for Harris. You should think about what you believe, and then vote for that. Here is how you register to vote.”
Pretty chill and reasonable, honestly.
Oh sorry I meant this:
I imagined your average Swiftie saying:
How dare he [and after that AI nude scandal too?!]. I’mma defend our girl.
She definitely didn’t ask anyone, but if your favorite person says someone wronged you and says what they’re going to do, that’s a very attractive bandwagon.
Her post was flawless.
I think her fans are probally not happy about that, but it was pretty small part of the overall post. I read that as more her responding to the misinformation about her than a direct “they wronged me, get them!” She certainly isn’t happy about AI fakes though, and not just from the Trump campaign. Musk also allowed Twitter to host a viral wave of fake porn of her a bit ago before it got a lot of outrage in the media, so this may also be a clap back about how irresponsible the GOP side of aisle is being with AI.
I’d expect her fans to have a stronger inclination to overall agree with supporting reproductive rights and the various other points she championed over a sense of retribution, but it may play a part.
If they wanted to accidently lose registration they could just do it by party affiliation in key states
No need to do it by referring url
I’m just impressed that this wasn’t clickbait and that they took the time to filter for her link only. No way to refute it.
Now, if they will actually go vote, is the key.
I think website traffic reports always show the Top X referral links and I’d be shocked if hers wasn’t #1.
“…but my lord, there is no such force!”
They will learn no lessons from this because they’re stuck in their weirdo right-wing media/online bubble. They’ll keep saying weird and disgusting things like Musk when he threatened to impregnate Taylor Swift, and it will be devastating for them
According to Taylor Swift’s post, Trump and his propagandists posting fake pictures of Swift implying she was endorsing him is one reason she went ahead and came out with this statement endorsing Harris now, to refute the fake stuff they are circulating. So their stupid plan massively backfired.
Maybe Swift would have come out to endorse Harris at some point anyway, but doing it now gives people more time to get registered before the deadline.
I’m sure their “concepts of a plan” had it really all thought out
Yeah they pretty much forced her to engage. All because this F… former president thought he could materialize an endorsement by posting a deepfaked image saying she endorsed him.
Interesting to see extreme narcissism combined with the ability to generate any picture imaginable. It’s like he made the ai picture, and then believed it was true because his ego would not allow otherwise. He’s literally trying to create his own reality.
Fascinating.
Don’t forget the part where he played the victim as well. His ego also wouldn’t allow him to take blame for spreading blatant lies. So when he got called out, all of a sudden he knew nothing about this picture. Someone “just sent” it to him and he thought it was real. Obviously a guy who wants to be the fucking president shouldn’t need to demonstrate that he’s capable of critical thinking or fact checking… /s

“They are cheating!!! That’s not fair!!!”
They should stick to sports, erhm, music, and stay out of politics!
/s if not obvious
“If you listen to her, you’re stupid and shouldn’t vote” is my favorite emotionally abusive narrative.
Fuck these creeps. To anyone that felt inspired by Swift, you deserve to feel empowered.
