NEW YORK, March 5 (Reuters) - Pop megastar Taylor Swift

encouraged her millions of fans on Tuesday to vote in Super

Tuesday primary contests across the U.S., but did not endorse

any specific candidate.

The 14-time Grammy award winner, whose ongoing "Eras" tour

is the world's highest-grossing concert tour with more than $1

billion in ticket sales, told her 282 million followers on

Instagram to make a voting plan on Tuesday, and linked to

vote.org, a nonprofit voter registration group.

"I wanted to remind you guys to vote the people who most

represent YOU into power," she wrote on Instagram Stories, in

white text against a black backdrop.

Swift has waded into politics before, endorsing President

Joe Biden, a Democrat, in 2020. She has also denounced former

President Donald Trump, a Republican.

During an appearance on NBC's "Late Night with Seth Meyers"

last week, Biden joked with the host comedian about conspiracy

theories that the president and the singer-songwriter are in

"cahoots." Meyers said recent polling showed 18% of Americans

believed Biden and Swift were somehow working together.

Swift's post came as Meta-owned Instagram and

Facebook suffered a more than two-hour outage caused by a

technical issue that impacted hundreds of thousands of users

globally.

Swift's massive fan base lifted local economies as she

toured the United States and around the globe in 2023, and her

romance with a professional football player Travis Kelce of the

Kansas City Chiefs drew new fans to the team's games and the

Super Bowl.
