Weeks before Argentina's run-off election, far-right populist Javier Milei and his running mate, Victoria Villaruel, have found themselves under pressure from an unexpected quarter: an alliance of Taylor Swift supporters and K-pop fans.

Milei, a radical libertarian who has proposed dollarizing Argentina's economy and even legalizing the organ trade, topped the polls ahead of Sunday's first round, but was beaten into second place by the centrist finance minister, Sergio Massa.
