Taylor Swift tells fans to vote on Super Tuesday without endorsing anyone

• Taylor Swift told her 282 million Instagram followers to vote in Super Tuesday's primaries.
• Her call to action comes after months of being at the center of political discourse.
• The singer didn't endorse a candidate or party as she's done in previous elections.

Pop star Taylor Swift told her fans on Tuesday morning to participate in the Super Tuesday Republican and Democratic primaries across the country, though she refrained from endorsing any specific candidates or political party.

"I wanted to remind you guys to vote the people who most represent YOU into power," Swift wrote on an Instagram story to her 282 million followers. "If you haven't already, make a plan to vote today."

Politicians and political pundits have taken an interest in Swift in recent months, with some even espousing conspiracy theories about the singer, alleging she's a part of a government psyop.

The electoral discourse surrounding Swift came to a peak in February on the day of the Super Bowl after Republican former President Donald Trump pressured her to support him in a social media post. "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 wrote.

Trump and his supporters aren't the only ones who've reportedly been interested in Swift's endorsement: In January, The New York Times reported that many within Biden's campaign have internally pushed to partner with the star.

Swift chose not to endorse either Trump or Biden's campaign on Tuesday, instead mirroring her social media post in November 2023 that urged her fans to register to vote. Vote.org's CEO later told Business Insider the singer's call to action led to the largest Voter Registration Day since 2020.

Swift has endorsed political candidates in previous elections. In 2018, she endorsed two Democratic congressional candidates in Tennessee — her first-ever political endorsements — before later endorsing Biden in the 2020 presidential election against Trump.

Though she's typically not a political figure, Swift's call to action carries unique weight: 6% of respondents in a recent survey said that calling on her fans to participate in the election would change their likelihood of voting. Just under 1-in-20 respondents said her endorsement of a particular candidate would also force them to "consider changing" their vote.
