If Taylor Swift spearheads voter registration drives in swing states and Pennsylvania specifically, the race could be over.

I don't imagine most of her fans are of voting age, but the exposure certainly can't hurt.

I mean...Trump has a 60-something year old retired wrestler, and a 50-something trashrock star for his celebrity endorsements.

One seems more significant than the other, especially for women.

Couldn't give two shits about all these Pop Star positions. I do delight in this specific one because Trump's campaign fucked with her, and drew a line in the sand with regard to Generative AI bullshit in a campaign.

This is not "breaking news" under any circumstances.

Glad she's supporting kamala and using her influence, but that being said the celebrity worship nonsense is silly. Not breaking news.
