Joe Biden is most likely set to face Donald Trump in a Presidential Election rematch this November
New York Post reporter Asia Grace has warned that Taylor Swift could use her global stardom to swing this year's US Presidential election.
Joe Biden is facing a rematch against predecessor Donald Trump, following his victory in the Super Tuesday ballots.
The President's campaign team are said to believe the support from Swift's fans will prove to be crucial in recruiting younger voters.
This follows recent speculation that the pop star was involved in a "Super Bowl psy-op" conspiracy theory surrounding the NFL and the Super Bowl, as she attended to support boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce.

So far the globally successful pop star has not endorsed the President, but encouraged her fans to take to the polls for Super Tuesday earlier this month.
In a post to Instagram, the singer urged her 282 million followers to "make a plan to vote today".
Discussing Taylor Swift's possible influence on the US election this November, host of the New York Post's “Post Poppin'", Asia Grace, says celebrities airing their opinions on presidential candidates is "nothing new".
Speaking to GBN America, Grace recalled Swift's previous support for Biden in the 2020 election.

Grace told host Nana Akua: "She backed Biden so heavily in the 2020 election.
"We kind of want to see if she's going to do that again or if she's going to stay quiet."
When asked by Nana how powerful the Swiftie swing on the vote will be, Grace claimed Swift is the "it girl" when it comes to celebrity influence.
Grace explained: "When she speaks, the Swifties sit up. So I think that she is the celebrity voice that we'll be all kind of waiting with bated breath to hear as we get closer and closer to Election Day.
"Biden does have friends in high places. He has chumminess with Lady Gaga, with Tom Hanks, with Barack Obama. So it really isn't shocking whenever a celebrity does come out and side with one party or the other."
Nana appeared shocked and questioned why Beyonce wasn't the top influence for young American voters.

Grace agreed, but revealed that particularly in America, Swift is "who everyone has their eyes turned on".
Grace continued: "They want to know what TayTay has to say. Of course fans are going to move as soon as Beyonce says move, she is the Queen Bee.
"However, so many people are just kind of looking to Swift, especially since she backed Biden so heavily in the 2020 election. We kind of want to see if she's going to do that again or if she's going to stay quiet.
"She definitely has been telling people to get out there and vote as necessary. So, you know, it'll be interesting to see. This will be a fun one to watch as we get closer and closer to November."
