0:38Now PlayingTaylor Swift has proven herself to be a cultural and economic force. As the US presidential race enters its final sprint, all eyes are on whether she can become a political one as well. #harris #kamalaharris #taylorswift #politics #debate #election #trump
Mere minutes after a high-stakes debate in which Kamala Harris successfully baited former president Donald Trump time and again, Swift told her 283 million Instagram followers she'd be voting for the vice president. And in signing off "Childless Cat Lady" — a callback to a remark from Trump's running mate, JD Vance — she even joined in on the night of trolling.
Swift's decision to enter the fray brings a level of star power virtually unmatched across the globe. Her social-media reach eclipses that of Elon Musk, the world's richest person and the owner of the platform formerly known as Twitter. The first indication of her influence may come from those who register to vote at her urging: Swift’s custom link to Vote.gov drove more than 300,000 visits to the site as of 11 a.m. Wednesday, according to a General Services Administration spokesperson.
