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?

    All generations are groomed to be good little worker drones that don’t question their parents rulers.

    Part of becoming a functioning adult is learning to rebel in healthy ways. Voting never feels effective, so it’s not ever viewed as a viable path of expression for young people.

    Therefore it’s a bit stupid to say only recent youngins have been raised that way. Most western kids are groomed that way. Always have been. It’s by design.
