Taylor Swift's influence could be moving from the jukebox to the ballot box, according to a new poll.
It found roughly 30% of Americans under-35 said they'd be more likely to back a presidential candidate supported by Swift.
The poll found 18% of voters overall said they're 'more likely' or 'significantly more likely' to vote for a candidate endorsed by her.
Some 17% said they would be less likely to vote for a Swift-backed candidate, while 55% would be neither more nor less likely to do so.
Flop Culture Podcast host Fionnuala Jones told The Pat Kenny Show the singer's influence is far-reaching.
"I think you only have to look at the Swiftie fandom and the investment they put into her and her relationships," she said.
"The White House will be really try to bring her into the fold with this election.
"She's generally very quiet on political issues, she's spoken out on some things.
"But I know the Biden campaign is looking to secure an endorsement for 2024 because of this influence she has over young people, over voters, it is nuts.
"I think people like to explain this away and say, 'Surely she can't have much power?' - she does.
"I love her, but it's scary the amount of power she wields".
Back in May 2020, the singer attacked then-US President Donald Trump for "stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency".
After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump

Ms Jones said if the singer endorses anyone, it will very likely be Joe Biden.
"During the 2016 election she kind of went to ground, she didn't come out and say anything; and obviousy we know how that election went," she said.
"That seems to be a point of real consternation for her.
"She hasn't really said anything about Biden this election season, I'm not sure she'll give a really strong endorsement but I think she'll hint; she'll give something, she'll breadcrumb," she added.
US President Joe Biden has said his Republican rival Donald Trump will be the party's nominee for the White House at the polls in November.
The Newsweek poll, which had a sample size of 1,500 eligible voters, was conducted on January 18th and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.53%.
