Over at Instagram, more than 280,000 new people followed Swift between Sept. 10 and Oct. 3, Chartmetric data has showed. She is the eighth-most-followed account on the platform.
This came after Swift threw her support behind Harris in the 2024 presidential race last month.
In a lengthy post on Instagram following Harris' presidential debate against Donald Trump, Swift shut down rumors that she endorsed the Republican nominee and announced that she will be casting her vote for Harris and her VP running mate, Tim Walz.
She explained that she was endorsing the Democratic presidential nominee because she believes the country needs "a steady-handed, gifted leader."
Swift also said she was "impressed" by Walz's decades-long fight for "LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman's right to her own body."
Swift ended her post with a jab at Trump's running mate JD Vance as she called herself a "childless cat lady."
The singer also shared a link to Vote.gov, driving more than 400,000 visitors to the site in the next 24 hours, Variety reported.
