[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition to call on Taylor Swift to use media buzz to help
register more voters!

Dear MoveOn member, 

Taylor Swift is one of the most influential artists of the past decade.
She has the opportunity this year to use her influence for good by helping
register new voters ahead of the 2024 general election. [ [link removed] ]And with 41
million Gen Z voters eligible for the first time this election, we need
celebrities like Taylor Swift to use their platform to mobilize people to
the polls.^1

Over the last few months, the media has been extensively covering Swift's
relationship with Kansas City NFL player Travis Kelce, and Swift's
appearances at the football games has generated over $331 MILLION in value
for the NFL team.^2 There is no doubt about it: Taylor Swift has massive
influence. 

[ [link removed] ]If we come together, we can encourage her to use that influence to
empower people to vote. Will you sign the petition?

Taylor Swift endorsed President Joe Biden in 2020 and tweeted that "we
will vote [Donald Trump] out."^3 So it's no surprise that far-right
Republicans and twice-impeached and disgraced former President Donald
Trump are already starting to spread their anti-Swift propaganda and
conspiracy theories.^4 MAGA supporters are afraid of Swift's success and
cultural power, and they are doing everything they can to dissuade the
influential artist from using her voice to make a difference in this
election.

In a recent interview with The Guardian, one voter confirmed that Swift
could "potentially, absolutely change my mind politically."^5 And she's
not alone. Last year, Swift posted an Instagram story with a Vote.org
link, and the organization reported more than 35,000 voter registrations
following her post—in just 24 hours.^6 [ [link removed] ]We need Taylor Swift's reach and
enthusiasm headed into a high-stakes general election this fall.

Let's give MAGA something to talk about. Add your name to call on Taylor
Swift to flash a QR code to the press and break voter registration records
this election!

The media love to report on Taylor Swift. Following the announcement of
her relationship with Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce, she has been a
common sighting at NFL games—with press panning to her every chance they
get. And now she may even make an appearance at the 2024 Super Bowl, one
of the most marketable events, with more than 100 million viewers. 

But her reach extends even beyond the 2024 Super Bowl. Swift has a new
album coming out in April and the continuation of her viral and successful
Eras Tour, assuring that she will continue to be in the media spotlight
for the rest of the year (and, let’s be honest, for years to come).

[ [link removed] ]Taylor Swift has frequently complained about the amount of media and
press coverage she gets. But she can leverage that attention to register
new voters and protect our democracy—at the Super Bowl, with her new album
release, and throughout her fall Eras Tour.

Taylor Swift has broken records at the Grammys, American Music Awards, and
on the Billboard top charts. She routinely sells out stadiums for her
shows, and the Eras Tour is the highest-grossing tour of all time—even
higher than Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.^7 [ [link removed] ]Add your
name to call on Taylor Swift to help break even more records this election
by helping to register voters.

Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Book bans have skyrocketed thanks to
right-wing state laws which have forced teachers to remove books from
their classrooms. In response, MoveOn is launching a "Banned Bookmobile,"
filling it with books that the far right has banned, and driving it around
to hand out those books, for free, in highly trafficked areas that will
attract media attention. To keep the Banned Bookmobile up and running into
2024, we need your help.

Will you start a monthly gift to power our critical work?
