Democrats target ‘Swiftie’ voters as The Eras Tour returns: ‘We’re not taking any vote for granted’

Vice President Kamala Harris.

“This election will determine the future for young voters, from student loan debt relief and economic opportunity to whether they have fewer rights than their grandmothers did,” Rosemary Boeglin, DNC communications director, said in a statement.

“We’re not taking any vote for granted, and we’ll continue to make sure young voters across the country know everything that’s at stake and the stark contrast between Vice President Harris’ New Way Forward and Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda,” she added.

It’s not apparent whether Swift was involved with the initiative. A representative for the singer did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, which was sent outside regular working hours.

While celebrity endorsements are typically unlikely to have too much of an effect on voting, Swift’s huge fanbase could have a sizable impact.

Swift’s Instagram endoresment of Harris drove more than 400,000 users to the voting information site vote.gov over the following day, according to multiple reports.

In the post, Swift described Harris as a “steady-handed” leader and said she was “heartened and impressed” by her selection of Walz as running mate.

“I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make,” she added.
