Taylor Swift is a very privileged person who isn't widely known for being political. Nonetheless, her fans are a huge and important demographic for politicians. Many people - as many as 25%, or even 36% in case of Gen Z - said their voting choices would be influenced by a celebrity's opinion.

Swift's political influence was proven after a jump in voter registration in October 2018. Swift endorsed two Tennessee Democrats and encouraged people to register to vote on her Instagram. Vote.org saw 65,000 registrations in the 24 hours after the post - more for the entire preceding month.

In addition to that, Swift chose to endorse President Joe Biden for the 2020 US election. She also encouraged young people to vote early to avoid issues with mail-in voting.

Lastly, but definitely not least, in the honor of the Eras Tour, the legislators of New Jersey recently passed a law designating the Taylor Ham, egg, and cheese as New Jersey State Sandwich."

Taylor Swift's Fans Statistics

Naturally, when she was just starting out, she was a teenager, and a lot of her fanbase was young women. However, as she expanded her music range, she acquired more and more fanbases. In this section, we'll take a closer look at them.

Taylor Swift is known for using her significant influence to further many good causes. She's a prominent supporter of the LGBTQ rights and the Equality Act, and made significant donations to GLAAD.

Swift is part of the GoFundMe community and helped many individuals on there throughout the years, ranging from autistic children to cancer-stricken fans.

In 2023, GoFundMe reported that their donations of $13 (Swift's favorite number) more than doubled that year.

Swift has also supported disaster relief efforts after a flood in Louisiana, Hurricane Harvey, and a tornado in Nashville.

She's also well-known for helping out her fans financially, from paying off their student loans to sending them stimulus checks during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition to the above causes, Swift is a champion of the music industry, and frequently donates to food banks and sexual violence charities and foundations.

The Taylor Swift" Effect & Its Future

In 2024, Taylor Swift is more than an artist - she is a brand. True, a lot of her success can be attributed to good marketing, but the truth is that she is an immensely talented songwriter and a captivating performer.

Music Industry Trailblazer

Swift has been instrumental in challenging the norms of the music industry. Her clashes with the music streaming services, where she pushed to ensure the artists and writers are paid fairly, prompted both Apple Music and Spotify to change their approaches.

Her battle with her former label, initiated after they sold the rights to her music without her consent was an unprecedented move. As she took back the ownership of her albums by recording Taylor's Version for four of them, Swift took actions that marked a huge shift in the music industry.

These actions of the singer sparked important conversations and helped many artists realize the extend of their rights. The re-recorded albums are setting streaming records, and one developer from the UK even created an iOS app called Taylor's Version, which replaces the previous version of those songs in your music library with Taylor's Versions.

The Swift Effect - American Football & Beyond

By now, even the people who don't like American football or Taylor Swift have heard of the mutually beneficial commercial boost of the two. Indeed, the first 2023 game attended by Swift increased the sales of her boyfriend Travis Kelce's jerseys by 400%.

After that, the NFL went above and beyond trying to court the predominantly female fanbase of Swift. Unlike their previous efforts to increase female viewerships, which were lazy at best and offensive at worst, having Swift show up at Kelce's games has paid off.

The NFL isn't the only franchise to realize that the Swift effect is real. The Bank of America released a report earlier this year comparing the Eras Tour's economic impact with that of the Super Bowl. For example, Swift's concert in Pittsburgh increased restaurant spending by 13.2%.

A Swift Conclusion

Is Taylor Swift a superwoman?

As of today, it sure seems that way. The artist's star power and influence are unprecedented, and the Swift Effect doesn't seem to be dissipating anytime soon. While we're still processing the fact that Swift had managed to quietly release two albums during the pandemic, she's taking the world by storm.

When The Tortured Poets Department hits the shelves in April of this year, it'll likely beat Swift's previous records and give her another Guinness World Record (we've honestly lost count).

We at TechReport are sure looking forward to the new music, and to seeing what 2024 will bring Taylor Swift other than inspiration and sold-out arenas around the world, of course.
