Sabrina Carpenter, the rising pop star, has made a significant impact in the political realm by helping to register a record number of new voters for the 2024 election. According to HeadCount, a nonpartisan organization that collaborates with entertainers to engage young people in voting, Carpenter led the list of celebrities who were most effective in encouraging voter registration.
Carpenter's efforts resulted in 35,814 new registered voters. Additionally, through various initiatives such as giveaways and in-person activations tied to her "Short n' Sweet" album tour, she engaged an impressive 263,087 potential voters, assisting them with registration status checks and polling place identification.
Carpenter's success reflects the growing importance of celebrity influence in driving civic engagement. HeadCount also recognized the Saviors album tour by Green Day, which registered 7,900 new voters and engaged 61,000 through concert tour activations.
Celebrity endorsements have played a significant role in shaping the 2024 election discourse. Rihanna, Beyonce Knowles and Oprah Winfrey have lent their support to Vice President Kamala Harris, while Joe Rogan and Zachary Levi have voiced their backing for Donald Trump.
Carpenter's and other celebrities' efforts to mobilize voters demonstrate the increasing awareness and engagement of young people in the political sphere, highlighting the potential of popular culture to influence civic participation and drive social change.
