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 don't listen to her music, not a huge fan in that regard - but I love this woman none the less for having a voice loud enough in the current political climate.

Definitely not a fan of elites flying in their private jets to whatever luxury location.

But can you imagine Taylor Swift flying in a public airplane? She'd be harassed endlessly, even in first class.

Some people are just too well known, unfortunately.

There was a video I saw a while back of a look-alike getting swarmed by fans, fans who were bawling about meeting her, it's just fucking nuts. I saw Harrison Ford once from a distance, and I was like "hey cool, I saw Harrison Ford", but some people just go apeshit.

I bumped into Mark Ruffalo once. I just did a double-take and kept moving. I don't understand this stuff.
