TAYLOR SWIFT OFFERS TIPS IN EARLY VOTING

Taylor Swift took to Instagram on Wednesday morning to give her followers some words of wisdom about voting early in the upcoming midterm elections, continuing to use her platform to advocate for being politically active.

“Something I wish I knew about when I was 18 and voting for the first time: EARLY VOTING,” Swift wrote in the caption on her Instagram post. “It makes it so quick and easy to go and cast your vote before Nov 6.”

She continued, giving fans information about how to vote early in her home state of Tennessee, writing, “Early voting starts TODAY in Tennessee and goes to Nov 1.”

The Taylor tips didn’t stop there, though. Swift provided her Instagram followers with the link to the Vote.org early voting calendar, pointing them in the direction to the link in her caption. “You can check out your state’s early voting dates at the link in my bio,” she wrote.

Swift, who previously kept her political leanings notoriously private, made a rare political statement on social media earlier this month, denouncing Republican incumbent Marsha Blackburn and endorsing Democrat Phil Bredesen in the Tennessee Senate race.

Her statement sparked a major uptick in voter registration, inspiring 65,000 people to register to vote, according to Vote.org. However, her political post drew the ire of US President Donald Trump, who tweeted that he likes “Taylor’s music about 25% less now”.
