Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya and more encourage fans to register to vote

With just 42 days left until Election Day on Nov. 3, social media is full of reminders about the importance of voting and making a plan to do it ahead of time because of pandemic challenges. Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez and Zendaya (fresh off her historic Emmys win) were among the famous offering such a reminder on Tuesday, this year’s National Voter Registration Day.

Swift, who hadn’t spoken out on political issues until the last couple of years, made a video message for fans. The “Exile” singer didn’t campaign for a specific candidate but rather the act of participating in the democratic process. “It is more important than I can possibly say,” she said.

Lopez and Zendaya each separately sat down for a short conversation about the importance of voting with former first lady Michelle Obama as part of the non-profit organization When We All Vote’s festivities. Obama did an Instagram takeover which also featured Ayesha Curry, Tracee Ellis Ross, DJ Khaled and Fat Joe.

During J.Lo’s appearance, she stressed the importance of everyone’s voice being counted.

“For the Latino community, we’re like 32 million strong... I know if every single one of us went out and voted, we could decide who the next president is,” she said.

Both H.E.R. and the cast of “Hamilton” performed, the latter a modified version of the song “Alexander Hamilton.” The opening line went: “How does a system work with democratically elected leaders...”

Over on Facebook Watch, the cast of Red Table Talk (Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith and Adrienne Banfield-Norris), Matthew McConaughey and Noah Centineo are a few of the many recognizable people who promoted the cause as part of its Vote-a-Thon 2020, a special to promote Facebook’s new Voting Information Center. Gabrielle Union demonstrated how to vote by mail. Alica Keys dispelled common myths about casting a ballot.

The This Is Us star used the same tactic with a sexy photo of his abs. “There’s more where this came from…” he wrote before a link to vote.org.
