Grammy-winning singer and songwriter Taylor Swift is urging voters to go out and let their voices be heard on this Super Tuesday, when 17 states and territories will hold Democratic and Republican primaries that help determine the matchups for the November election.
On Instagram, Swift wrote:
Today, March 5, is the Presidential Primary in Tennessee and 16 other states and territories.
I wanted to remind you guys to vote the people who most represent YOU into power. If you haven’t already, make a plan to vote today.
Whether you’re in Tennessee or somewhere else in the US, check your polling places and times at VOTE.ORG
While Swift didn’t specifically endorse any candidate, her message will likely generate a buzz that could increase voter turnout today and in the general election.
Swift has made no secret of her progressive political views, angering Republicans and the MAGA faithful by supporting the LGBTQ community and criticizing members of the GOP such as her home state senator, Marsha Blackburn.
The right-wing reaction to Swift’s call for voter participation should be fun to watch.
