Say what you will about the importance of celebrity at a time like the US election, but there’s no denying that their influence can affect millions of people.
Whether they’ve been outspoken about who they are voting for – Beyonce, Lena Dunham and Miley Cyrus are all firmly on #TeamHRC – or have remained more tight-lipped, famous faces are flocking to the polls and sharing selfies to encourage their fans to get out and vote.
But despite reminding her 92.9 million followers to “get out and VOTE”, there’s something suspicious about Taylor Swift’s voting selfie: she hasn’t specified whose side she is on.

Her photo is not a selfie.
Oh please! Good on her for not saying who she voted for. It's nobody else's business. I was hoping for Clinton to get up but the thing that irked me about her campaign was the amount of celebrities she used in her campaign. I cringed everytime I saw her get up on stage with Katy, Beyoncé, Gaga... For me, they are nothing more than entertainers. Not the great minds with the knowledge and political prowess to actually make people stop and think about issues that really matter. Just a bunch of highly paid pretty people. What Taylor has to say about 'not having enough wisdom' is very honest and something that should be applauded not criticised. She voted and that's the main point.
