Eilish, known for her honest, often candid lyrics, has always been vocal about social and political issues. She has previously endorsed the Democratic nominee; this Instagram story is just one of several support gestures from the music artist.
The singer spoke briefly about the significance of voting blue during her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour stop in Atlanta. “A lot is at stake right now and if you’re in this room you support me, you support women, and I hope that you vote for Kamala Harris.”
As part of Gen Z, the “Lunch” singer is particularly attuned to the issues that resonate with younger Americans, many of whom make up her fan base. Her support for the female candidate reinforces her commitment to activism, serving as a call to action for her followers. Many of whom are first-time voters or approaching voting age.
This isn’t the first time Harris has received support from prominent young voices. Many celebrities have endorsed the candidate, including Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, and The Avengers cast. The presidential nominee has, in turn, been vocal about her dedication to addressing issues important to youth and minorities, including reproductive freedoms.
The Hit Me Hard and Soft singer’s support is another reminder of how influential pop culture personalities are in influencing political discourse, especially among young, impressionable voters.
As Eilish asserted, “Vote like your life depends on it because it does.”
