There isn't a way to know for sure that it was Taylor Swift's post that caused every single one of those 35,000+ newly registered voters, but Andrea Hailey, CEO of Vote.org, did tell NPR that there was a significant jump in traffic to the website after she posted. "Our site was averaging 13,000 users every 30 minutes — a number that Taylor Swift would be proud of," Hailey said.
People definitely noticed. In the week after her post, California Governor Gavin Newsom was asked by TMZ about the election and celebrities. "Taylor Swift stands tall and unique," Newsom said. "What she was able to accomplish just in getting young people activated to consider that they have a voice and that they should have a choice in the next election, I think, is profoundly powerful."
Swift's potential influence on the election has also been noticed by those on the right as well. Considering her past support of Joe Biden over Donald Trump, the angle seems to be to put Swift on blast. Some on the far-right have gone so far as to claim that the Kansas City Chiefs got to the Super Bowl as a way to give Swift a chance to endorse Biden at the game.
