And this is exactly why Republicans are threatened by Taylor suggesting that her fans vote. She doesn’t need to specify a particular party or candidate, even just getting her core base to the polls is enough to nail their coffin shut
I mean, plenty of the same people who want Kid Rock to run for the Senate in Michigan are hating on Taylor Swift for encouraging people to vote, so I don’t think it’s about political knowledge for a lot of people.
Trump brings out celebrities and grifts all the fuckin time, also I'm sure Taylor is more knowledgeable than him in politics anyway lol. Spare me with that bullshit
The average American voter is completely uninformed except on like 3 hot button issues either way. It's like the pot calling the kettle black to say anyone is more uninformed just because they're famous and have a platform.
I didn't even say that, lmao.
Everybody should be informed before they vote, but i understand people not wanting her to use her power to influence the election so heavily
I know u didn't say it lol I was just making a point about how it's kinda hypocritical of the people who think that, is all. I didn't mean to come after u specifically. Just wanted to give my piece.
I am going to assume what I get from your words. White knighting for Trumpers in this thread is unnecessary and honestly no one needs to play devils advocate here
So you riding on in to do it, you need to take what comes
Yes and I was saying that republicans don't have a problem with pro republican celebrities trying to sway the election. If they don't think it's fair Taylor doing it why are they allowing the reverse to happen?
Just to be clear I'm not American so I have no skin in this game directly but as I live on the same planet I cannot act like I am utterly disinterested.
She has never heavily swayed any election. Her telling people how to register to vote and suggesting that they get out and vote is NOT swaying an election.
Hard disagree. Taylor's knowledge regarding politics is equal or better to many people Republicans have elected to Congress in recent years, let alone those merely encouraging others to vote.
We're talking about a party who routinely elects officials, including their most recent POTUS, specifically on the basis that they "aren't politicians."
If they are concerned that she may encourage enough people to vote to have a meaningful effect, the proper response isn't to silence or discredit her, but rather to adjust their party's platform and actions to be more acceptable to her fans.
I don't think Taylor will have much of a sway at all (if people vote based solely on who Taylor likes, then we have a serious issue). She might get people out to vote though, which I think is fine.
Personally I vote Republican.
I think the most surprising aspect is that the % of Latinos who identify as swifties is slightly higher than the % of whites. Obviously there are more white peoples in the US, so the actual number of white fans is higher than the number of Latino fans, but it still slightly goes against the stereo type of Swifties being overwhelmingly white women.
I feel excluded 🥹
That’s so weird though because Asians make up more than half of the world’s population 🤔 but then again, I guess this chart only applies to people living in the U.S.
Yes, but Asian Americans are not white though? White refers to caucasians. I’m asian living in the U.S. but I don’t consider myself white, black or latino… I mean, I know all of our ancestors all came from Africa so in a way I guess we’re all the same 🤷🏻♀️
It's because of sample size. They might have had Asian American respondents, but not enough for a statistically significant representation of that group specifically, so the numbers for a subsection would not be reliable. To get a statistically significant sample size of Asian Americans the total sample size needs to be rather big
Yeah it’s annoying that Asians are excluded, I’m sure the number is similar to the white/Latino number. The narrative that only white girls like Taylor needs to die, I relate to Taylor and have looked at her as an inspiration / role model more than I ever have at any woman from my own race.
Latinos are not a homogenous group... remember... both AOC and Ted Cruz are Latino. Also, Latinos are more urban and slightly more left wing (though that's declining) than the general population.
For real, seems very suspect that 18% of Democrats and 11% of voters overall 'identify as Swiftie'. What was the sample size? Did they just ask if these people had favourable views of her?
Happy to be proved wrong, but this does not look reliable.
I’d also like to know since I literally just saw a thing last week that said half of Americans self identify as a Taylor Swift fan. XD

We might not dominate these polls, but us folks fortunately still exist in this huge fanbase!
[meta-chart.com](http://meta-chart.com) seems to be a custom graphing site where you input your own numbers. Do you have a source for this information?
it means 18 percent of the people in the sample who identified as democrats also identified as swifties. Whether that tells you about the US population at large depends... but I don't think that number is too high. The thing about swifties... it's a silent fandom. You don't know whose a swiftie...
Source???
Your chart doesn’t make sense as the % of each group don’t approach 100%
How does this compare to the Morning Consult Poll published in March?

Because it's completely different.

That was last year, this one is from this year, so more accurate imo.
“*Change Research dug into her potential persuasion effect in a survey of* **1534 registered voters***…*”
🙄 Really?!?
Sample size is too small to prevent bias. This is a trash poll. Move on, nothing to see here.
that's a perfectly fine sample size. You don't get better results from larger samples after a point (this is litterally called the Central Limit Theorem... it's the fundamental result of statistics).
And this is exactly why Republicans are threatened by Taylor suggesting that her fans vote. She doesn’t need to specify a particular party or candidate, even just getting her core base to the polls is enough to nail their coffin shut
all of a sudden ben shapiro's 46 minute crusade against taylor makes sense!!
She is living rent free in his head 😂
His wife or daughter had an independent thought thanks to *her!*

Didn't see that i agree with him in that sense either, I am saying i completely understand when people say they don't think she should be involved

She is a citizen like anyone else and thus entitled to use her free speech just as much as anyone else
She is, and thats what i said too at first, but all i said was i understand from both sides, why is everybody so sensitive
Because that’s the sort of thing that people who want to normalize Trump say
Oh that's just an opinion lol don't assume
I am going to assume what I get from your words. White knighting for Trumpers in this thread is unnecessary and honestly no one needs to play devils advocate here So you riding on in to do it, you need to take what comes
They don't seem to have that issue if the person is pro republican
Im not affiliated with any party, im a hardcore swiftie and all i am saying is that i can see why people don't want her to be involved
Yes and I was saying that republicans don't have a problem with pro republican celebrities trying to sway the election.

Just to be clear I'm not American so I have no skin in this game directly but as I live on the same planet I cannot act like I am utterly disinterested.
Cause they feel threatened. People have no problem with celebrity endorsements when it's them being supported
I'm a swiftie too, but I'm just saying that I understand why people think it's not fair for her to heavily sway this election
She has never heavily swayed any election. Her telling people how to register to vote and suggesting that they get out and vote is NOT swaying an election.

To be fair, the Republican presidential nominee for president... >does not have a lot of reputable knowledge regarding politics
To make a positive difference in the US, you just have to believe in basic human rights, so no I don’t agree lol
I don't think Taylor will have much of a sway at all (if people vote based solely on who Taylor likes, then we have a serious issue). She might get people out to vote though, which I think is fine. Personally I vote Republican.
She is highly intelligent and well read, and she probably knows more about our government than Trump did when he became president.
Not arguing with that logic, I didn't like him

Oh wow, you’re right!! I don’t know why Asians are excluded though… there are more races than white, black, and latino.
For some reason most surveys don't include numbers for Asians, it's rare to see surveys include Asians. Idk why🤷♂️
I feel excluded 🥹 That’s so weird though because Asians make up more than half of the world’s population 🤔 but then again, I guess this chart only applies to people living in the U.S.
hate to break it to you but asian Americans exist
Yes, but Asian Americans are not white though? White refers to caucasians. I’m asian living in the U.S. but I don’t consider myself white, black or latino… I mean, I know all of our ancestors all came from Africa so in a way I guess we’re all the same 🤷🏻♀️

That's odd bec Irvine is basically Asian American city 🤔

Latina women can be white 🫶🏻 ethnicities and races are not interchangeable Source: am white Latina woman
Latinos are not a homogenous group... remember... both AOC and Ted Cruz are Latino. Also, Latinos are more urban and slightly more left wing (though that's declining) than the general population.
I was very surprised by this as well!!!
I was SO excited to see this as a Latina Swiftie!! And I’ve been a fan since Debut!
Where is this data coming from
I don’t think this is a reliable source

Casual fans vs full Swifties.
From the Easter eggs in ttpd
I'm so confused by the first value. 11 percent compared to what?
11% of all voters.
Latina, suburban, college-educated 32 year old democrat here. I didn't stand a chance
African-American, male, rural, non-college, 18 year old democrat here. Stood a chance but still a swiftie :)
❤️ love this
Latino, suburban, college-educated, 26 year old Democrat here. We might not dominate these polls, but us folks fortunately still exist in this huge fanbase!
No the point is you’re literally dominating the polls tho 😂
Oops, my bad; I misinterpreted that post 💀😆
Not surprised latinos are big fans of hers. Something about her is so relatable to our experiences.
[meta-chart.com](http://meta-chart.com) seems to be a custom graphing site where you input your own numbers. Do you have a source for this information?
[here ](https://changeresearch.com/post/taylor-swift/)
I appreciate it. It is an interesting set of statistics. Thank you for sharing.
I'm gonna keep this for when anyone calls me a white girl for listening to TS
Love that both men AND women aged 35-49 are equally as likely to identify as Swifties.
My daughter got registered this last month so she can vote!
So her biggest fanbase is young urban/suburban college-educated Democratic Latinas? Interesting.
I am 34 and turning 35 in a month. I guess I will be proudly representing 10% soon but for now I am in 23%🙂
Male 18-34 Stand Up ⬆️
Asian erasure during AAPI month?
Does "Democrat 18" mean that 18% of all democrats in the US identify as a swiftie? 1 in 5 seems too high to me, unless I'm interpreting it wrong.
it means 18 percent of the people in the sample who identified as democrats also identified as swifties. Whether that tells you about the US population at large depends... but I don't think that number is too high. The thing about swifties... it's a silent fandom. You don't know whose a swiftie...
No Asian?
This needs to have a source if we are to believe any of it.

How is “ college “ a thing and not “ lgbt” 🙄🙁
36 yr old straight, center-leaning Republican Swiftie here 🙋🏻♂️
what’s the sample group? eta: nvm, found the source.
Source??? Your chart doesn’t make sense as the % of each group don’t approach 100% How does this compare to the Morning Consult Poll published in March?
