Taylor Swift, Amy Schumer and Madonna are among several stars who took to social media Tuesday encouraging their supporters to get out and vote in the midterms.
“I’m seeing a lot of underestimation of young voters in this new generation who now have the right to vote just in the last couple of years,” the 28-year-old singer explained in a clip she posted on her Instagram story. “But these are people who grew up post 9/11.” (RELATED: TRAINWRECK–Tampa Crowd Eats Amy Schumer Alive For Going After Trump [VIDEO])

“They grew up with school shooting drills at their schools,” she added. “These are people who want to vote. It’s not enough to just want change. It’s not enough to just want to vote. You have to go and make change by voting.”
Swift continued, “Today is your opportunity to go do that. I promise you it feels so wonderful to exercise that right you have.”
