Florida Democrats want to capture the magic of Taylor Swift for the election

Taylor Swift famously supported Kamala Harris after the presidential debate.

Taylor Swift is coming to Florida this weekend – and Democrats want to take advantage.

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

“The Florida Democratic Party will host statewide campaign events, phone banks, text banks and listening parties this weekend aimed at Swifties attending the concerts and fans who may have missed out on tickets to their sold-out shows,” a press release said .

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

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

Swift supported Harris after the presidential debate last month.

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

Swift recently made headlines in Florida when she donated $5 million to a statewide food bank collection for victims of Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

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