Will be Taylor Swift the lifeline of Joe Biden at Presidential Elections of 2024? Some are starting to wonder political observers Americans, assuming that open support of the most popular music star world can move further a million preferences at the polls. In short, it would be a remake ofeffetto Oprah Winfrey for Barack Obama in 2008: according to several analysts, Winfrey’s support in fact brought the former president over a million votes.
Now all eyes are on Swift, who already in 2020 he had supported the current occupant of the White House. His effect may even be broader, given that more than half of Americans consider themselves fans of him, and that includes many Republicansreports Msnbc in an analysis of Michael A. Cohensenior fellow at the Center for Strategic Studies at Fletcher School at the Tufts University.
The president, in deep difficulty in the surveys and recently capable of confusing Swift with Britney Spearswill have to find a key to recover in the coming months Donald Trump, his most likely challenger. If Swift’s endorsement would push even a fraction of his people to vote 272 million followers on Instagram, it would be hundreds of thousands of people who would go to vote instead of staying at home and giving up their right. And this could make a difference, especially for Democrats. Not to mention that it would be difficult for Republicans to criticize Swift given that they would risk attracting the ire of even some of their voters.
To understand Swift’s potential impact, as Cohen reminds us, just think that hers Eras Tour recorded the sold out in every stage and grossed more than a billion dollarswith fans paying thousands of dollars to snap up the secondary market the worst seats in stadiums. According to an estimate of QuestionPro ResearchThe “Swifties” (the pop star’s fans) spend approx 93 million dollars per show including tickets, travel, accommodation, food and merchandising.
In short, the tour will have an impact equal to 5.7 billion dollars for the US economy. Recently the governor of Illinois J.B. Pritzker credited Swift with reviving thetourist activity of the state and the economic impact of the tour on that industry was so profound that it was mentioned in a report published by the Federal Reserve. Magazine Time he named Swift as “person of the year” in recent weeks calling her “the master storyteller of the modern era.”
