Vote.org says it has seen an unprecedented flood of new voter registrations since Taylor Swift on Sunday broke her career-long silence on politics to encourage her 112 million followers to register to vote.
“We are up to 65,000 registrations in a single 24-hour period since T. Swift's post,” Kamari Guthrie, director of communications for Vote.org, told Buzzfeed News in a report published on Monday night.
“Vote.org saw [Tennessee] registrations spike specifically since Taylor's post," Guthrie continued.
According to Guthrie, the nonpartisan website has seen 5,183 voter registrations in Tennessee so far this month, and at least 2,144 of those voter registrations are from the past two days alone. That compares to 2,811 voter registrations from the state in September.
In her Instagram post on Sunday, Swift, who has long stayed quiet on her political views, endorsed former Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen (D) over Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R) in the state’s Senate race.
“As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn,” Swift wrote. “I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives.”
She also discussed her support for LGBTQ rights and condemned racism

I’m inclined to think that most of those registrations are due to the effects of the Kavanaugh confirmation.
So the voters registering are all anti-Marsha?
Not good if so.
Taylor is not braindead. She thinks she is somebody
How many of TS’s 112 million followers are bots or live in other countries?
Blackburn has pulled significantly ahead in the polls. very coincidental that the statists twisted Taylor Swift’s arm for an endorsement of Phil Bredesen.
Maybe they tighten the race up, but the conservative vote should overwhelm liberal Nashville metro and Memphis.
That is the implication
““We are up to 65,000 registrations in a single 24-hour period since T. Swift’s post,”
so 0.5% of her followers all signed up in one day?
Or could it be because facebook, soundcloud, and numerous websites are all reminding low information voters to get registered and the time to register in most states is drawing to a close???
Fake news.
If Hollywood has such white hatred they should ban sales of their various products to all white people. Then we will KNOW their principles are heart felt
Taylor Swift is saying vote AGAINST the vagina and implying Marsha Blackburn is a racist since “racism” is one of the issues Swift is hollering about.
>> an unprecedented flood of new voter registrations since Taylor Swift on Sunday
this weekend is also when Republican saw the confirmation of a Supreme Court Justice in the wake of 2 weeks of rule breaking delay from a scorched Earth Democrat witchhunt.
Could be some Republican voters pumped to go to the polls.
We will see, its spread
Anyone who takes their voting cues from a film or music celebrity is too stupid to have the privilege of voting.
Registration is worthless if the millennials don’t emerge from the basement, take an UBER to Starbucks, the on to the voting site and vote. An if the voting site isn’t serving craft beer, then lots of luck.
It would seem so but that is who most of these voter drives are targeting.
Certainly nothing Swift said about this indicates that she knows what she is talking about, just repeating brain-dead Dem talking points.
Yeah, Rush is seeing conversions from Dem to Rep over this. I wouldn't be Surprised.
Dems have gone absolutely Bonkers after this. Can't be good for them with the independents and moderates.
Hill is one premier fake news.
Kavanaugh is just an old white-dude has-been, not a sparking intellect like Miss Swift. SHE is a mover. Dig it?
