Taylor Swift is continuing to make up for the fact that she didn’t get more involved in the 2016 election.

On Tuesday, the singer encouraged her fans to sign up to vote in the 2020 election if they haven’t done so already.

"Hey! September 24 is National Voter Registration Day!" Swift wrote on her Instagram story. "If you aren’t registered to vote, go to Vote.org to get signed up."

"Because I also don’t want it to backfire again, because I do feel that the celebrity involvement with Hillary [Clinton]’s campaign was used against her in a lot of ways," she told the mag.

She also admits that she "totally" regrets not getting more involved at the time.
