Taylor Swift managed to drive record-breaking numbers to voter registration website Vote.org after urging her 232 million followers on Instagram to take action.

On Tuesday (19 September), hours after the pop star, 32, called on her US fanbase to register to vote in honour of National Voter Registration Day, Vote.org’s communication director, Nick Morrow, announced that “our site was averaging 13,000 users every 30 minutes”.

“Fun fact: after @taylorswift13 posted on Instagram today directing her followers to register to vote on @votedotorg, our site was averaging 13,0000 users every 30 minutes,” Morrow wrote on X/Twitter.

“13! Let’s just say her reputation for being a mastermind is very well-earned.”

Earlier that day, the “Anti-Hero” singer had posted to her Story, asking followers: “Are you registered to vote yet?

I have zero interest in the scene of the artists I actually listen to, how much interest do you think I have for the scene of artists I don't listen to?

You don't seem to have an interest in touching grass if you've missed that the world has kept turning.

Do people have to have an interest for everything?

It's not unusual to have artists that cater to a certain kind of people and for them to stick with that type of people through their career even if they're personally changing because that's what they know.

Heck, I tried to remember the last song I heard by Swift and I just realized that I can't even tell... I thought that Firework was by her instead of Katy Perry, that's how little I care about her.

I never expected you to know taylor swifts current songs you dingus. You already made it clear that her songs are not your thing and you arent invested in fandoms. Thats fine.
I expected you to have a broad understanding on society in general. My comment was very derogatory and i apologize.
