Rihanna Takes the Mic on Voter Registration
Barbados‑Born Beats for the Ballot
While Rihanna rocks the global charts and enjoys life in the U.S., she still can’t hit the ballot. To keep her fans in the groove—both literally and politically—she dropped an Instagram post that’s almost as urgent as a new single release.
“GOOD MORNING AMERICA. Who’s awake this morning? Who’s awake because they’re ready to register? Your job today is to properly register to vote,” RiRi told her 65‑million‑strong follower army, paired with a handy chart of state deadlines.

The Pop‑Star Playlist Continues
Rihanna’s plea came shortly after the ever‑charming Taylor Swift took the same stance with a dedicated Instagram post. According to Kamari Guthrie of Vote.org, the sharp‑sounding trends sparked a spike—65,000 registrations piled in the first 24 hours after Swift’s message, compared to a massive 56,669 in the whole of August.
Between RiRi’s unstoppable energy and Swift’s sweet influence, the U.S. electorate is hearing it loud and clear. The call? Register, double‑check, and get ready to vote. No “work, work, work” warning—just a firm reminder that today’s job is a civic one, and the world’s most loved pop star is cheering you on.
