Hailey also reported a 115% increase in 18-year-old registrants compared to last year and said more than 1.3 million total visits to the site since her post.
The CEO of Vote.org also thanked the singer-songwriter for her efforts. “Dear @taylorswift13 – let these stats serve as our love letter to boost your voter turnout! 💌”, she wrote. “Together, we make democracy shine! 💫”
Vote.org Communications Director Nick Morrow as well divided by X that “the site averaged 13,000 users every 30 minutes.”
He followed up his post with a cute nod to the “13” in the stat, or Swift’s birth date and favorite number. “13! Let’s just say her reputation as a mastermind is well-deserved! #NVRD,” Morrow wrote.

“I was so happy to see so many of you at my shows in the US recently,” she continued, referring to her Eras Tour. “I heard you raise your voice and I know how powerful they are. Make sure you’re ready to use them in our elections this year!”
The “Cruel Summer” artist concluded with a link to Vote.org: “Register to vote in less than 2 minutes at vote.org/nvrd.”
