Hooray for the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce romance. Watch out, Trump.
In fact, if anybody should be worried about K-Tay, it’s Trump. These two have fan bases that are huge and devoted. Just from Swift attending that single Chiefs game, Kelce’s merchandise sales jumped 400 percent. Swift put out one Instagram story last week urging her fans to register to vote, Vote.org reported, and participation on the site jumped 1,226 percent in the next hour.
Between X (formerly Twitter), Instagram and Facebook, she has around 450 million followers (Kelce has “only” about 5 million). What if they decided a fun couples thing to do would be to … I don’t know … save democracy? K-Tay could stir up voters, from homecoming queens to assisted-living grandpas, from Castro Street to Wall Street, and rock polling places the way they rock stadiums. That might be something even Trump couldn’t shake off.
450 million followers on the 3 platforms, how many are bots? And a lot of those 450 million are the same person following on all three platforms being triple counted.
Voter registration jumped 1,226%. How many people register to vote in an hour on vote.org 13 months out from a presidential election? A few?
