Taylor Swift urged her 282 million Instagram followers to exercise their civic duty on Super Tuesday.

“Today, March 5, is the Presidential Primary in Tennessee and 16 other states and territories,” the pop superstar, 34, informed her fans via her Instagram Story Tuesday.

“I wanted to remind you guys to vote the people who most represent YOU into power. If you haven’t already, make a plan to vote today,” Swift continued.

Once again referencing her home state, the Grammy-winning songstress concluded, “Whether you’re in Tennesse or somewhere else in the US, check your polling places and times at Vote.org.”

Swift — who is currently in Singapore for the international leg of her Eras Tour — did not express affiliation with any particular political party and did not advocate for one candidate over the other.

The “Cruel Summer” singer, however, has previously shown allegiance to the Democratic party.

In 2018, she endorsed Tennessee hopeful Phil Bredesen, who was running against Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn, for a seat in the Senate. However, he ultimately did not win.

Swift then endorsed Joe Biden for US president ahead of the 2020 election, telling V Magazine at the time she thought he had “a chance to start the healing process [the US] so desperately needs.”

The “Blank Space” singer also previously told the publication that Biden, now 81, could better handle issues like the COVID-19 pandemic over Republican candidate Donald Trump.

“Everyone deserves a government that takes global health risks seriously and puts the lives of its people first,” Swift said at the time.

“The only way we can begin to make things better is to choose leaders who are willing to face these issues and find ways to work through them.”

Although the “Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince” singer has not said whether she will once again support Biden in the 2024 presidential election, he appears to think he may still have her vote.

“She did endorse me in 2020,” the US president said on “Late Night With Seth Myers” last week.

He then joked that it was “classified” information as to whether or not she would follow suit again this year.

People in the Republican party have shown concern over a conspiracy theory that states Swift could sway the general election.

“She’s endorsing Biden. It’s rigged. You’re the pawn,” Trump supporter Mike Crispi wrote via X in January.

Fox News talking head Jesse Watters also presented the theory on his show that same month, asking his viewers, “Have you ever wondered how or why she blew up like this?

“Well, around four years ago, the Pentagon’s psychological operations unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset during a NATO meeting. What kind of asset? A psy-op for combatting online misinformation.”

“The View” co-hosts then slammed Watters, 45, for spreading those beliefs, with Whoopi Goldberg saying at the time, “I’m tired of dumb people. I can’t handle it.”

Swift has proven to have a powerful influence over US voters, though.

Last September, the “Look What You Made Me Do” singer got more than 35,000 people to register to vote after directing her users to Vote.org via her Instagram Story on National Voter Registration Day.
