EU Calls on Taylor Swift to Boost Youth Voter Turnout in Upcoming Elections

Swift's 'Eras Tour' in Europe coincides with the first EU parliamentary elections since Brexit, amid concerns of rising far-right support.

European Commission Vice President Margaritis Schinas has called on pop star Taylor Swift to encourage young people to vote in the upcoming European Union parliamentary elections in June.
Schinas cited Swift's previous success in mobilizing young voters in the United States, where a social media post from the singer was credited with a surge in voter registrations.
The upcoming elections are particularly significant as they are the first since Brexit and could see a rise in support for far-right parties across the bloc.
Swift's 'Eras Tour' will be in Europe from May to August, coinciding with the election period.
Swift, who was named Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2023, has yet to respond to the EU's request.
