That's significant.
Trump lost in 2020 by 11,780 votes.
That's what he needed to take Georgia and their EC votes.
Taylor just got 30x that number of people to register in a single day.

They have woken the Swifties.
May god have mercy apon their ragged souls.
Now let’s recruit the K-Pop stans and only then will our victory be truly complete. We must unite these 2 forces for good.
It was only a matter of time until Donald incurred the wrath of TayTay
But but JD Vance said no one would be influenced by her!
Even more ironic, he said no one would be swayed by an out of touch billionaire that can't identify with them...
Really? Holy crap. If course, Trump is NOT a billionaire. Pretty sure that's why he has never released his tax returns. He embarrassed at how little money he has, compared to what he claims.
Technically he said a “billionaire celebrity,” so he might have been referring to his boss.
Taylor Swift Net worth: 1.3 billion USD
Don't forget that they have Elon "pledging" something like $40M per month to the canpaign.
And hers isn't made up based off of Russian money laundering.
A reminder that all Trump businesses have failed and he's literally bankrupted a casino five separate times (and a hotel once). One of his spawn has also stated that the family has been "debanked" or fired as clients (due to financial, legal, regulatory, or reputational risk). Ironic that debanking usually comes under scrutiny for how it has disproportionately targeted Muslims and minorities.

Someone is going to get "Swift Voted"
That's excellent. Thank you.
How many are from the esteemed nation of PAWANEVMIAZGANC?
I'd guess a few. Swift's background in country means she's got a big fanbase in GA and NC. Even bigger than the other states, I mean.

According to Taylor Swift's post, Trump and his propagandists posting fake pictures of Swift implying she was endorsing him is one reason she went ahead and came out with this statement endorsing Harris now, to refute the fake stuff they are circulating. So their stupid plan massively backfired.
Maybe Swift would have come out to endorse Harris at some point anyway, but doing it now gives people more time to get registered before the deadline.
Yeah they pretty much forced her to engage. All because this F.. former president thought he could materialize an endorsement by posting a deepfaked image saying she endorsed him.
Interesting to see extreme narcissism combined with the ability to generate any picture imaginable. It's like he made the ai picture, and then believed it was true because his ego would not allow otherwise. He's literally trying to create his own reality.
Fascinating.

I'm sure their "concepts of a plan" had it really all thought out
quite a swift response
I know there is work to be done every single day through the election. But just for this moment I'm going to just breathe it all in and enjoy. I think we all earned that.
That's very wise; I'm proud of you for recognising this
I'm just impressed that this wasn't clickbait and that they took the time to filter for her link only. No way to refute it.
Now, if they will actually go vote, is the key.
I think website traffic reports always show the Top X referral links and I'd be shocked if hers wasn't #1.
Different kind of swiftboat in play this election.

"They are cheating!!! That's not fair!!!!"
They should stick to sports, erhm, music, and stay out of politics!
/s if not obvious
"If you listen to her, you're stupid and shouldn't vote" is my favorite emotionally abusive narrative.
Fuck these creeps. To anyone that felt inspired by Swift, you deserve to feel empowered.
Why is there a referral link to vote.gov? And why do you guys need to register in order to vote? In EU you can just go to the voting ballot by being a citizen
Ok smarty pants let’s see you come up with a better system to give votes to empty land instead of ~~ni~~minorities!
I'm the state of Illinois you can more or less do this. You just need proof of residency to register day of at the polls. It was very fascinating to see when my wife's registration was removed.
Referral source is a built in feature in browsers that analytics tools can utilize. It does not require any special links.
It just means that a website (almost) always knows the previous page you came from.
In the US there is no "national ID" everything is linked to like other countries. We used to be strongly privacy minded as a country (weird I know). So that as left some rather weird legacy problems. Hence having the register to vote.
Also we have a much different power dynamic between states and the federal government. Our states have a LOT more power than local/regional ones in most counties.

The way the electoral roll is managed varies from place to place.
Avoiding automatic voter registration tends to favour the more traditionally conservative demographic; it's racist and classist, but the people who turn up to vote on local electoral issues are too, by and large. It requires engagement to change.

All I can say is: lololol
It seems like a bad idea to track where traffic is coming from when a person is signing up to vote. We know the sort of opponent in this endeavor, why give them the ability to start determining who might have papers or information get accidentally lost in the application process?
Vote.gov is aware of the traffic. It redirects you to your state website to actually register. Those websites would only see traffic from vote.gov, not anything from a tracking URL.
Vote.gov uses custom links to see what is effective in getting people to register to vote so they can continue doing that, as that's their mandate.
As a note, this is 10x as many people signing up same day then in 2022 when she directed people to vote.org
Yep, just now realizing my mistake. Thanks, I’ll edit!

The election is being run by non-fascists. If we want to keep it that way, we need to vote.

They will learn no lessons from this because they're stuck in their weirdo right-wing media/online bubble. They'll keep saying weird and disgusting things like Musk when he threatened to impregnate Taylor Swift, and it will be devastating for them
