This endorsement comes in the wake of Taylor Swift’s latest effort to mobilize her fan base, commonly known as “Swifties,” on National Voter Registration Day. With a staggering Instagram following of over 272 million, the singer-songwriter utilized her platform to urge her fans to register to vote. She shared a link to Vote.org, a non-profit organization dedicated to voter registration, with which she has previously collaborated.
“I’ve been so lucky to see so many of you guys at my U.S. shows recently,” Swift’s statement read. “I’ve heard you raise your voices, and I know how powerful they are. Make sure you’re ready to use them in our elections this year!”
Governor Newsom commended Swift’s philanthropic use of her celebrity status. However, he also pointed out that some Republicans have criticized her for encouraging people to register to vote, framing it as indicative of voter suppression issues within the Republican party.
