Last week, country-turned-pop diva Taylor Swift finally broke her famous (or infamous, depending on your point of view) silence on all things political and posted on her Instagram account an endorsement of Tennessee Democrat Senator Phil Bredesen and whatever the opposite of an endorsement is for his challenger, Republican Marsha Blackburn.

Following Swift’s post, 65,000 new voters registered in Tennessee in a 24-hour period, just beating the 9 October deadline.
