Taylor Swift Urges Fans To 'Make Your Voices Heard' In Local Elections

Taylor Swift had a special message for her 'Swiftie' Instagram followers on Friday.

The 33-year-old "Hey Stephen" singer took to her Insta stories one week to the day following the release of "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" to share a notable way they could make a difference.

Swift has notably taken action by encouraging her fanbase to engage with local elections and advocate for their rights; she famously discussed her political stance and choice for the local Tennessee election in 2018 during a scene in the Netflix documentary "Miss. Americana."

Last October, the "Cardigan" singer continued her efforts to encourage Swifties to vote in the United States midterm elections.

She would also take to her Instagram stories to inform followers they could vote early in the midterms, and The Blast did a deep dive into Swift's public history of incorporating politics into her public image.

In addition to Swift's notable comments about Tennessee senator Marsha Blackburn which were featured in "Miss. Americana," she wrote a letter to former Tennessee state governer Lamar Alexander in 2019.

Swift was advocating for the passage of The Equality Act at the time. The bill later passed the Senate.

The "Lover" singer would post her letter to Alexander on Instagram in May. She would urge Swifties to follow her lead and write letters to their local senators as well.

A few months before, in March of 2018, Swift revealed her advocacy for the March For Our Lives organization against gun violence in schools.

Swift revealed to her followers she had made a donation to the organization by writing, "I've made a donation to show my support for the students, for the March of Our Lives campaign, for everyone affected by these tragedies, and support gun reform." (per The Blast)

The Tennessee Young Republicans talked to The Blast when Swift began advocating against Blackburn.

"We've seen celebrities endorse Democrats before. Most Tennessee voters are not concerned with who a celebrity is voting for. Tennesseans are worried about which candidate is going to give them a good job, which candidate is going to go out a fix the education system, which candidate is going to do the things Tennessee voters need," the organization said.

The organization added, "We're glad Taylor Swift is engaging in politics. While we might disagree with her regarding which candidates she is supporting we always love to see younger people have opinions because too often younger people have been disengaged from the political cycle."

Swift continued her efforts to help her fans engage in politics on Friday, by sharing a candid Instagram photo on her stories.

Under a photo of herself wearing sunglasses and showing off her early voting sticker, Swift wrote, "Hi Nashville! Early voting for our city officials and some statewide seats begins today. We have the opportunity to choose who will represent us for the next four years..."

She continued, "I voted today and I urge each and every one of you to do the same and make your voice heard..."

The "Ours" singer concluded the story by providing a link that allows viewers to find out more information about early voting.
