According to a recent report by Variety, the ‘Short n’ Sweet’ pop star, Sabrina Carpenter has officially registered more voters than any other artist for the 2024 presidential elections during her globetrotting tour. The ‘Espresso’ singer reportedly prompted 35,814 voters to register because of her partnership with HeadCount. 263,087 voters engaged beyond registration through registration status and polling location with giveaways, in-person activations, mailers, and video boards used throughout her tours.

The executive director of HeadCount, Lucille Wenegieme said in a statement that their partnerships with over 100 music artists including Carpenter, Ariana Grande, Green Day, and more, have helped register over 450,000 new voters, prompting more than 3 million more to ensure they vote. And if these moves were not enough, Carpenter’s partnership further included a reward program, giving winners the opportunity to see her tour by checking their voting registration status, who will be flown out to San Francisco for her November 9 show.

Despite trying to steer clear of US politics this year, when Taylor Swift was drawn again and again to the conversation with fake endorsements and AI misuse, she finally made her support for Kamala Harris, known on Instagram. Alongside her endorsement, Swift added a voter registration link that reportedly led to a surge of 400,000 visitors to Vote.gov within a day of sharing it. The site experienced a tenfold increase in traffic compared to the previous week.

27,000 new registrations were reportedly made the next day with over 80,000 people checking their voter registration status. While at the time it may have felt like Swift was alone in that magnanimity of influence to sway voters’ opinion, statistics now say a different story with Sabrina Carpenter’s political recharge.
