Thank U, Vote!
Ariana Grande recently kicked off her “Sweetener” World Tour this past Monday in Albany, New York; however, this time around she did something a bit different. Monday night’s concert-goers posted photos and videos of voting registration booths throughout the arena on social media. Soon after Grande announced that she recently partnered with HeadCount to allow concertgoers to register to vote at all concerts of the tour. HeadCount works with music artists to set up voter registration booths at concerts. Those who registered received cute stickers with the hashtag #thankunextgen. Grande’s fans who can’t attend any of her shows still can participate by texting ARIANA, or 40649, to “register to vote, get election alerts, contact your legislators about issues you care about or get a reminder to register to vote at your 18th bday,” HeadCount wrote in a tweet. Cheers to Grande for taking initiative to get young people involved!
