In May, Taylor Swift sent a tweet blasting President Donald Trump for "stoking the flames of white supremacy," and she vowed to vote him out in November.
As Insider's Grace Panetta previously reported, her tweet was in response to a tweet from Trump where he threatened "to send the National Guard into Minneapolis as protests escalated in response to the death of an unarmed black man, George Floyd, who died shortly after being violently arrested by four police officers in the city."
The singer first broke her political silence in a 2018 Instagram post, announcing her advocacy for Democratic candidates Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper.
People reported that over one million voters cast their ballots early in Tennessee and some believe that Swift's open advocacy for voting may have caused the surge.
