Taylor Swift helped cause a spike in voter registration ahead of the 2018 midterm elections
As Swift started out the year on a career high, embarking on her massively successful “Reputation Stadium Tour,” which helped the pop star break her own record of the highest grossing North American tour by a female artist, she also famously spoke out about politics for the first time in October.
Swift endorsed two Democratic candidates up for election in Tennessee in a series of posts on her Instagram page, causing a boom in voter registration of nearly 65,000 voters, according to stats released by Vote.org.
