Taylor Swift posted Election Day videos urging her fans to vote, in the hours before the polls closed on Nov. 6. Here’s what she said.<\/b>
\nIf her fans didn\u2019t get the message beforehand, Taylor Swift took time out of her day on Nov. 6 to urge her followers to go out and vote. The 28-year-old posted a series of short clips on her Instagram Stories feed on Election Day as millions of Americans across the country took to the voting polls to make their voices heard in the midterms. The \u201cLook What You Made Me Do\u201d singer said, \u201cI\u2019m seeing a lot of underestimation of young voters and this new generation who now have the right to vote just in the last couple of years. But these are people who grew up post 9\/11, they grew up with school shooting drills at their schools.\u201d She added, \u201cThese are people who want to vote.\u201d
Taylor told her fans that wanting change isn\u2019t enough. You have to act and head to the polling booth too. \u201cIt\u2019s not enough to just want change. It\u2019s not enough to just want to vote,\u201d she said. \u201cYou have go and make change by voting and today is your opportunity to do that. I promise you it feels so wonderful to exercise that right that you have.\u201d
The pop star then invited her fans to take selfies of themselves after they\u2019ve voted and to tag her so that she can share the photos with her followers. True to her word she has posted several photos of fans doing just that, to her Instagram Stories feed throughout the day.
Taylor\u2019s videos come a month after she made a drastic shift in her career and \u2013 after years of remaining mum about politics \u2013 she threw her support behind Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper, who have been running as Democratic candidates for the U. S. Senate and House respectively.
\u201cI\u2019m writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which I\u2019ll be voting in the state of Tennessee,\u201d she wrote on Instagram on Oct. 7 . \u201cIn the past I\u2019ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now.\u201d She also wrote, \u201cFor a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway.\u201d Agreed!<\/p>\n
