00:42 Taylor Swift, last September, she
00:47 made a social media call to young Americans
00:51 to register to vote.
00:53 The day after her post, 35,000 young Americans
00:59 had registered to vote.
01:01 Now, Taylor Swift will be in Europe in May.
01:05 9th of May, Europe Day, she will be in Paris for a concert.
01:10 So I would very much hope that she does
01:14 the same for young Europeans.
01:16 And I very much hope that someone from her media team
01:19 follows this press conference and relay our request to her.

01:53 to participate, more, I think, than commissioners
01:56 from the press room.
