Taylor Swift used her VMA acceptance speech to drop her 2nd political message in 24 hours

Swift added, “And if you are over 18, please register to vote for something else that’s very important coming up: The 2024 Presidential Election.”

In an Instagram post yesterday, Swift wrote, “I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.”

She ended yesterday’s post by encouraging her first-time voters to register to vote. “Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered!” she wrote. The megastar, who has 284 million followers on Instagram, added a link for voters to register on her story.

A spokesperson from the General Services Administration confirmed with CNBC that her post drove at least 337,826 visitors to Vote.gov, a website where visitors can register to vote.

Apart from winning Video of the Year, Swift took home six other awards: Artist of the Year, Best Collaboration, Best Pop, Best Direction, Best Editing, and Song of the Summer for “Fortnight,” which features Post Malone.

With seven awards in the bag, Swift now has a total of 30 VMA awards — and ties with Beyoncé for most VMA wins of all time.

A representative for Swift did not respond to requests for comment sent outside business hours.
