In a heartfelt Instagram video, she covered “Please Please, Please” by none other than Sabrina Carpenter. Now, I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sure the last time I waited in line for anything, it was more motivational than a Gregorian chant! But there she was, dark glasses on, belting out an adorable serenade to save democracy.
“They’ve waited so long, let’s make it not boring,” she sang. Because when it comes to voting, nothing says excitement like waiting in line for hours! Thanks, Anne, I was going to bring a crossword, but your rendition has me pumped!”
The blurry lines of fun and duty come into focus as Hathaway’s little jam managed to rack up over 840,000 views—because nothing captures the essence of democracy quite like a Hollywood star putting her two cents in. Ah, the magic of social media! But can we pause to appreciate the sacrifice these voters are making? I mean, who knew voting would turn into the hottest ticket in town, with people waiting in line like it’s the latest iPhone release!
Anne urged everyone, “Please, please, please stay in line.” I’m sure folks were just thrilled to hear they were part of a musical production. Talk about a plot twist! If you thought you were parked in line for a political statement, think again—you’ve just become part of Hathaway’s audition video for American Idol.
Celebrity Support for the Vote
Aside from our favorite Queen of Genovia, several stars have planted their flags in the voting booth. With lines stretching longer than a Monday morning after a wild weekend, it’s no wonder various celebrities, from actors to singers, are rallying their followers to unleash their inner citizens. Hathaway tossed her support behind Kamala Harris, declaring, “I voted as if half the country’s life depended on it.” Which, let’s face it, is about as subtle as a bull in a china shop. But hey, it gets people talking!
“I mean, what a way to *lure* someone to the polls! “Vote for Kamala because your aunt Betty’s life might depend on it!” – a campaign slogan we can get behind (or not)!
Now, let’s not forget the trailblazer herself, Sabrina Carpenter, who managed to register a jaw-dropping 27,000 voters through her concert activities. You’d have better luck getting me to give up chocolate than to get that many folks motivated to register. This girl knows how to bring in the numbers—where do I sign up for her next tour?
Conclusion: Make Your Voice Heard!
From Hathaway’s ceaseless encouragement to Carpenter’s astonishing registration stats, this election season has turned into a star-studded event! Hopefully, they inspire you to find your inner Anne or Sabrina and rock the vote like it’s the front row of a concert. Because at the end of the day, whether you’re in line for an election or a table at a trendy restaurant, it’s always worth it to hang in there and make your presence felt!
As we tiptoe down this political tightrope, let’s remember: if waiting for hours can push you to break out in song, just think about what it can do for your civic duty. Vote, sing, and for heaven’s sake, just stay in line! Because democracy, unlike some of your exes, doesn’t come easy!
As the elections in the United States reach their climax, citizens are eagerly exercising their right to vote, resulting in lengthy lines at polling stations across every state. Many voters, whether supporters of Donald Trump or Kamala Harris, are finding themselves waiting several hours to cast their ballots. Recognizing the importance of this civic duty, prominent figures from the entertainment industry—who have already made their choices—are encouraging their followers to participate in shaping the nation’s future.
Among these influential celebrities is Anne Hathaway, who took to her Instagram account to spread the word—an uplifting video of her covering the song “Please Please, Please” by Sabrina Carpenter aimed specifically at motivating college students at the University of Pennsylvania. In her enthusiastic plea, she acknowledged the long lines that had formed on campuses, saying, “Hi everyone, I heard there are really long lines on college campuses, so, Oh my gosh, thank you for coming to vote.” She went on to don dark glasses before breaking into song.
“And I just wanted to say that if you’re in line right now: Please, please, please stay in line. Please, please, please, especially at UPenn and Temple wait for your time to pass. Voting is magical but also annoying. They’ve waited so long, let’s make it not boring. Oh please, please, please wait in line,” she crooned, infusing a sense of urgency and vitality into the electoral process.
This heartfelt video has already garnered an impressive 840 thousand views, prompting a wave of positive reactions from fans. Many took to the comments section, drawing references from her iconic role in the film The Princess Diaries, with remarks such as, “I always knew that Queen Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi could count” and “That’s our Queen of Genovia,” showcasing the adoration her fans have for her.
In addition to her musical encouragement, Anne Hathaway shared a carousel of images on her Instagram account related to election day, showcasing the inked stamp given to individuals after casting their votes. Notably, she also highlighted various news headlines pertaining to abortion, thereby expressing her clear support for the Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris.
“I voted for Kamala Harris as if half the country depended on this,” she declared in a poignant statement on her social media, sparking a division of opinions among those opposed to the new legislation proposed by Harris regarding abortion rights.
Additionally, Sabrina Carpenter has become a significant name in connection with the U.S. elections recently. The nonprofit organization HeadCount, dedicated to increasing voter turnout among young adults, announced that the singer successfully registered 27,000 new voters, earning her the title of the artist who registered the most voters this election cycle. Through various initiatives such as giveaways, in-person activations, and eye-catching video boards on her Short n’ Sweet concert tour, over 183 thousand new voters were engaged.
In collaboration with this organization, Carpenter hosted a raffle providing fans the chance to attend one of her shows, contingent upon verifying their voter registration status. Winners will be flown to San Francisco for her much-anticipated performance on November 9, with their travel and accommodations covered.
