Before Swift's endorsement, a Tenn. poll measured her influence

Flashback: An April poll from the Beacon Center, a libertarian political think tank, found 37% of registered Tennessee voters considered themselves Taylor Swift fans.

• Within that group of Swifties, 12% said that if Taylor Swift endorsed a candidate for president or U.S. Senate, it would make them more likely to vote for that candidate.

Reality check: That is a small sliver of the electorate, and it isn't expected to sway the results in Tennessee, where polls show former President Trump in a commanding lead.

Yes, but: The Beacon Center poll could be more impactful in close swing states where results often come down to the wire.

What they're saying: "While Taylor Swift's endorsement likely wouldn't impact the outcome of the presidential or Senate race in Tennessee, it could make a huge difference in swing states if the numbers are similar in other parts of the country," Beacon Center spokesperson Mark Cunningham told us in April.

What we're watching: Swift endorsed Tennessee Democrats for Senate, House and governor in 2018. She was particularly critical of Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn, who went on to win the race.

• Blackburn is running for re-election this year against Democratic challenger Gloria Johnson.
• Swift has yet to weigh in on down-ballot races in this cycle.
