Taylor Swift urged her fans to participate on Super Tuesday, emphasizing its importance in shaping the upcoming presidential race.
The Biden-Harris campaign has openly sought her endorsement, recognizing her influence in mobilizing younger voters.
Recently President Biden jokingly avoided confirming any relationship with Swift on "Late Night With Seth Meyers," while Trump accused the singer's boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce of being liberal and he can't "stand" him.
Taylor Swift Urges Voter Participation on Super Tuesday Primary
With voters from 15 states heading to the polls, Taylor Swift took to her Instagram platform to encourage her followers to participate in Tennessee's Super Tuesday primary.
In her Instagram stories, the popstar emphasized the significance of the day in shaping the Republican presidential race, writing: "Today, March 5, is the presidential primary in Tennessee. I wanted to remind you guys to vote the people who most represent YOU into power. If you haven't already, make a plan to vote today."
She added: "Whether you're in Tennessee or somewhere else in the US, check your polling places and times at vote.org."
Super Tuesday emerges as a pivotal juncture in the Republican presidential race, particularly for Donald Trump, as he aims to eliminate political opponent Nikki Haley by securing ample GOP delegates for the presidential nomination.
On the Democratic front, President Biden is expected to secure a significant portion of the party's delegates with relative ease.
Biden-Harris Campaign Courts Taylor Swift's Endorsement for 2024 Election
Although Swift endorsed President Biden in the 2020 election, she has yet to confirm her support for any candidate this year.
However, the Biden-Harris campaign is actively seeking Swift's endorsement once again, recognizing her potential to attract younger voters and generate campaign funds.
Recent polling also suggests that Swift's endorsement could sway a significant portion of voters, with 18 percent expressing an increased likelihood of supporting a candidate endorsed by her.
The outreach to the "Cruel Summer" hitmaker is part of the broader strategy by the Biden-Harris campaign to highlight Donald Trump's perceived threats to abortion rights and personal freedoms.
The Singer's Influence & Alleged Political Collaboration Stir Conspiracy Theories
With a massive Instagram following exceeding 282 million, Swift's influence in mobilizing voters has been evident in the past. For instance, a September 2023 post encouraging voter registration resulted in over 35,000 registrations.
However, conspiracy theories are speculating about Swift's alleged collaboration with Democrats to influence voter support for Biden.
A recent poll by Monmouth University Poll examined the online conspiracy theory alleging Swift's involvement as a "PsyOp" to assist President Biden's reelection campaign. Surprisingly, the survey revealed that 46 percent of respondents were aware of this peculiar notion, with 18 percent admitting to believing it.
Recent polling data also shows that one in five Americans entertain the notion of a clandestine government-backed initiative involving Swift to aid President Biden's reelection bid.
Notably, conservative figures like Fox News Channel's Jesse Watters and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy contributed to mainstreaming this theory.
Donald Trump Says Joe Biden Has Done Nothing For Taylor Swift
During a recent appearance on "Late Night With Seth Meyers," President Biden playfully avoided confirming or denying any relationship with Swift, jokingly referring to it as a "classified" matter.
Meanwhile, the singer's NFL beau, Travis Kelce, has remained apolitical, refraining from involvement in political discussions.
In a surprising turn of events, former President Trump accused Kelce of being a "liberal" in a post on his Truth Social account.
Trump asserted his support for musical artists, writing: "I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other Musical Artists. Joe Biden didn't do anything for Taylor, and never will."
"There's no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money," he added.
Despite political differences, Trump expressed admiration for Kelce, noting: "Besides that, I like her boyfriend, Travis, even though he may be a Liberal and probably can't stand me!"
