With less than 24 hours before the polls close, Taylor Swift is here with an “extremely important reminder” about the presidential election.
While celebrating the triumphant wrap-up of the U.S. leg of her wildly successful Eras Tour, the 14-time Grammy winner, 34, took to Instagram to share a timely message for her fellow U.S. citizens — to get out and vote on Election Day (Tuesday, November 5).
“Couldn’t have asked for a more magical way to end our US shows on The Eras Tour,” Swift captioned the series of photos from her concerts in indiana over the weekend. “Just had the time of my life with 207,000 beautiful people in Indianapolis who showered us with so much love and excitement and joy… I know I’ll be looking back on this weekend and smiling because it was just like a dreamscape, all of it. Thank you to everyone who came out to see us on our last 3 American shows!!”
Sandwiched in the middle of the Eras Tour caption was Swift’s “friendly but extremely important reminder that tomorrow is the US Election and your last chance to vote. 🗳️ 🇺🇸,” she wrote, before expressing her excitement to finish out the Eras Tour with nine shows in Canada over the next two months.
Taylor Swift is seen leaving the “Poor Things” premiere at DGA Theater on December 06, 2023 in New York City. On November 4, 2024, the 14-time Grammy winner reminded her fans, followers and fellow U.S. citizens to get out and vote on Election Day.

Swift — who has previously slammed Republican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump — notably endorsed Democratic candidate (and current vice president) Kamala Harris in September.
“I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,” the “Karma” singer wrote in a lengthy instagram post that also took shots at Trump and his running mate, J.D. Vance.
“I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos,” she explained. “I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”
