The Pennsylvania state House of Representatives declared 2023 as the “Taylor Swift Era” in honor of the singer’s contributions to the state.
The resolution highlights her as a role model for courage, self-acceptance, and self-determination, emphasizing her impact on mobilizing young fans to register to vote.
The measure passed with opposition from some Republicans and a few Democrats, with Swift’s influence on voter registration being noted, particularly among the 18- to 24-year-old demographic. (Trending: Kid Rock Rages Against ‘Woke’ Target)
“I turn 64 years old today, and I think about who’s going to carry on our legacy. She’s not popular because she writes break-up songs,” Democratic Rep. Maureen Madden said.
“She’s popular because the largest demographic of people eligible to vote, the 18- to 24-year-old demographic, listens to her and does what she says.”
“We saw a 1,226% jump in participation the hour after Taylor Swift posted. Our site was averaging 13,000 users every 30 minutes — a number that Taylor Swift would be proud of,” Vote.org CEO Andrea Hailey said.
The resolution also acknowledges Swift’s transition from a pop star to a figure of inspiration.
