Sabrina Carpenter registers a record number of new voters for elections

Sabrina Carpenter didn’t just dominate the charts this year. The rising pop star was recently considered one of the most influential celebrities in getting young Americans registered to vote ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

The 25-year-old “Please Please Please” and “Taste” singer-songwriter peaked HeadCount‘s list of celebrities who engaged new voters the most this year, with the nonpartisan organization (which works with entertainers to register young people to vote in the U.S.) announcing Tuesday that Carpenter is responsible for increasing voter registration by 35,814.

In addition to helping voters with registration, HeadCount also indicated that through giveaways, postcards and personal activations linked to her Short n’ Sweet album tour, Carpenter engaged an additional 263,087 voters with things like checking registration status and finding polling locations throughout the concert series.
