Florida Dems want to capture the Taylor Swift magic for the election

Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift famously endorsed Kamala Harris after the presidential debate.

Taylor Swift is in Florida this weekend — and Democrats want to take advantage.

Florida Democrats are mobilizing with Swifties for Kamala as the superstar brings her Eras Tour to Miami for three nights.

“The Florida Democratic Party will host statewide canvasses, phone banks, text banks and listening parties this weekend targeting Swifties attending the concerts and fans who may have missed out on tickets to her sold out shows,” according to a press release.

Swift has become a global phenomenon as she travels around the world on her 52-city concert tour. Similar voter engagement efforts targeting Swift’s fans are happening in Texas, Arizona and North Carolina.

“Florida Democrats will provide training, bracelet materials, and limited edition merchandise to volunteers who sign up to join us to contact voters over the weekend,” said the joint press release from the FDP and Swifities for Kamala. “Swifties for Kamala will mobilize their national and in-state network to help send over one million text messages to Florida voters during the Miami Eras Tour weekend.”

Swift endorsed Harris after the presidential debate last month.

“I’m voting for (Harris) because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos,” Swift wrote on Instagram, signing it as “Childless Cat Lady” — a dig at comments from Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance.

Swift recently made headlines in Florida as she donated $5 million to a national collection of food banks for victims of Hurricane Helene and Milton.

“Thank you Taylor, for standing with us in the movement to end hunger and for helping communities in need,” the nonprofit Feeding America CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot wrote on X. “This contribution will help communities rebuild and recover, providing essential food, clean water and supplies to people affected by these devastating storms.”

    A majority of the Swifties are too young to vote. I’m sure Mucarsel-Powell will be wearing her Swiftie gear. She will still get rolled, right MH?🤣

      Powell will be fine. After all, she and her husband have boatloads of money thanks to that Ukrainian warlord.

            I essentially make about $9,000-$13,000 every month on the web. It’s sufficient to serenely supplant my old employments pay, particularly considering I just work around 10-13 hours every week from home. I was stunned how simple it was after I attempted it duplicate underneath web…..

    Good Morn ‘Ting Beloved Un-Decided Voters,
    Let’s get out in front of this situation right now. As you all know I, THE SAGE “E”, and Tay Tay are tight and will flip to Trump about a week prior to Election Day.
    Let’s just keep this Hot Juicy on the DL for now so as not to diminish the impact of the THE SAGE “E”/Tay Tay collaberation to save our Great Nation.
    Thank you, Beloved Un-Decided Voters,
    THE SAGE “E”

    Good Morn ‘Ting America,
    It seems there may be a few dis-believers in regards to “The Persuavive Powers of The Sage “E”.
    Well you’ve been told. So that when Tay Tay flips to Trump you “Non-Belivers” will, one and all, have a “Little Voice” somewhere in the back of your “Dook-Brains” constantly reminding you, one and all:
    “Hey Dummie you were told that The Sage “E” would “Flip Tay Tay to Trump”.
    Thank you America, The Sage “E”

    *the above Saturday Morn ‘Ting Golden Nugg’s of Sage Wisdom have been brought to you courtsey of and in collaberation with both “The Sage “E” ‘s Fan Club & Tay Tay’s Fan Club. Feel free to contact The Sage “E” for additional information.*

      By flipping Swift the powerful E has assured the outcome of this election. I’ve never seen anything like this as a 4th quarter of any election “Hail Mary Play”

        Great news Newt,
        I’ve been dithering on the fence,
        One day I identify as a democrat the next day a republican.
        Tay Tay going Trump just sealed the deal for me and my family,
        MAGA

      EARL, responding to your own posts is both sad and sick. when i hear you, an 83 year old perv, say tay tay, it makes me cringe. a perv lusting over a young girl, earl, shame on you.

        Welcome back my Beloved Older [but mean ass] brother.
        Thank God I thought me and your wife would have to rip you from the arms of another “Lady of The Night”. It’s not right that a man with your pervert mind should have enough money to go to the asian massage parlor every day.
        Anyway welcome home Bro.
