...think it could make any difference? At the margins? It is going to be a close election.

Swift endorsing Harris...

I don't know how much value or influence celebrity endorsements actually have. I agree it will be a close election.

Yeah celebrity endorsements usually do not amount to anything. But Taylor is HUGE.

No doubt some of her die-hard fans will vote the way she is voting, then another large portion of her fanbase won't care and just like her music, and then still presumably 99% of American voters aren't Swifties. So I think it might do some but not as much as you're hoping.

Yes, I am hoping it will make a bit of a difference - energizing young voters - but really don't know.

On the bright side, I can't see her endorsement discouraging people voting for Harris. It might even encourage a few.
I suppose that's true. I'm not as attuned to popular culture these days, so I'm never quite sure what the new "big thing" is in entertainment. But a lot of celebrities have come forth in favor of Harris and/or against Trump. Robert Deniro seems to really hate Trump.

She does have a huge, young, fan base. If she can get them out to vote, it'll definitely have an effect.
Who cares. All the pop stars have the same cookie cutter opinions on things, anyway. They're told what to say by their managers. And their legions of slavish stans need to get a clue and stop worshipping them. I couldn't imagine voting on the basis of a celeb's opinions. Kid Rock is a buffoon, too.

I read her comments and she seems like a pretty thoughtful person. Just sayin.
But yeah, most people are not going to be swayed by such endorsements. However, she is quite the phenomenon and might make a difference at the margins? Dunno.
I'm not saying she's an idiot. But it's not like she was ever going to back Trump. Find me a Republican pop star and I'll fall over dead. And more importantly, we shouldn't care who she backs. I am thoroughly fed up with the worship of famous people in this dumbed down culture. I'm sick of "fandoms".

Exactly! There's nothing wrong with liking people but people take it way too far.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
I hope she does as it shows where the left gets their expert endorsements from with the brains to match.

Yes, but you are a very angry and resentful fellow. And not everyone else is.
I am not a Taylor Swift fan, but it is clear from the public reaction to her music that she seems to be able to speak to and for a lot of young, mostly female humans that are just shy of, or just into, voting age. So if this "spokeswomen" (to them) suggest that they get out and vote for Kamala Harris, I suspect that a significant number of them will do it.
You're one to talk with your perpetual nastiness and bullying. Look, you're being nasty and insulting right now. What does that say about you? Actually, you can go on permanent ignore. You obviously have a personal problem with me as you spewed a much of hateful vitriol at me before, which was uncalled for. I'm done with you. Go spew your insults into the void, as I'm never going to read it.Yes, but you are a very angry and resentful fellow. And not everyone else is.

No need to attack her intelligence just because you do not agree with her.

This is what happened last year after a single post:
On Tuesday morning, the singer posted a short message on Instagram encouraging her 272 million followers to register to vote. Afterward, the website she directed her fans to — the nonpartisan nonprofit Vote.org — recorded more than 35,000 registrations, according to the organization.
