Attention Swifties: have you had your fill of Traylor content? Of course you’re over the moon for the budding relationship between the ultimate pop star Taylor Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs star tight end, Travis Kelce. But they’ve only made one public appearance together and you’ve already Zaprudered the hell out of every frame of the pair. Perhaps now you’re ready for new Taylor content.
Let me introduce you to a tongue-in-cheek plan for Taylor to deliver the 2024 election for Joe Biden.
What T. Swift says, her fans do. And new data reveals that’s true of voter registration. When Swift posted to Insta that folks should head to Vote.org and register to vote, they did. As CBS reports:
“The hour that she posted, we saw over a 1000% spike. That momentum really continued through the day, and by the end of the day, we had over 38,000 registrations that came through,” according to Andrea Hailey, CEO of Vote.org.
But Hailey says what was particularly exciting was a 72% jump in the number of 18-year-olds registering more than a year ago and a general boost in young people registering overall.
Enter Berkeley Law professor Orin Kerr to the chat. Sure, his expertise might be Fourth Amendment and criminal procedure, but he understands how to harness the power of Swifties for good.
Now, I don’t want to be the party pooper, but, given the international leg of the Eras Tour, this seems like a logistical challenge (though there are a few windows — April 2024, perhaps?). But you have to appreciate the outside-of-the-box thinking Kerr is applying to Joe Biden’s polling challenges.
