*Sigh* The Joe Biden CONSPIRATORIUM

Huge if true.

(They know Taylor endorsed Democrat candidates in 2018 and 2020 and it didn’t have an Oprah in ‘08 like effect, right?

No? OK.)
Swift encouraging people to register to vote had a notable impact. There were a lot of articles about it at the time.


And when she made a post in 2023 it caused a 1226% surge and a 22.5 increase over the previous year. She clearly has influence on younger voters. That is why the GOP is scared of her.
 
Her endorsement does mean more than it did in 2018 or even 2020 but at this point, I think people have a good idea of her politics. Biden’s going to get almost all of the celebrity endorsements. Will Taylor Swift increase voter registration and swing thousands and thousands of votes to Biden? Sure but I don’t see it dramatically swinging the entire trajectory of an election like Oprah endorsing Obama in the ‘08 NH primary.
