Taylor Swift Targeted by Conspiracies Over Chiefs Super Bowl Trip

Taylor Swift has shattered virtually every major record in the music industry, and as she lives her best life supporting her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, she’s also breaking the brains of right-wingers. 

For months now, the digital fever swamps have been fuming over everything and anything Swift-related. Her popularity, the success of the Eras Tour, her relationship, her appearances at NFL games, and especially her politics. The Chiefs won the AFC final on Sunday, punching the team’s (and potentially Taylor’s) ticket to the Super Bowl in February. In response, long-standing conspiracy theories around the NFL’s “scriptwriting” for football seasons clashed with right-wing conspiracy theorists claiming Swift’s involvement with Kelce is part of a deep state plot to gin up support for President Joe Biden in the 2024 election. The result is as ugly as it is stupid. 

Former presidential candidate and MAGA blowhard Vivek Ramaswamy tweeted on Monday that he wondered “who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” adding: “I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall. Just some wild speculation over here, let’s see how it ages over the next 8 months.” 

Ramaswamy was responding to a tweet from Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec suggesting a suspicious shift in Swift’s political leanings over the last several years. 

Posobiec and Ramaswamy weren’t the only right-wingers to suggest Swift is part of a left-wing conspiracy. Failed GOP candidate Jack Lombardi II wrote on X that he has “never been more convinced that the Super Bowl is rigged. With all the unneeded and unwanted Taylor coverage at the games. KC’s journey to the Superbowl – totally scripted … KC wins. And then later [they announce] their support for Biden. Coincidental?  No. Bought and paid for couple.  SMH.” 

“Taylor Swift is nothing more than a controlled influencer who has been put to work by those who seek to destroy America,” Lombardi added in a separate post. “She is a very talented operative working for the same group responsible for the timely and coincidental covid-19.”

Podcast host Mike Crispi raged that “The NFL is totally RIGGED for the Kansas City Chiefs, Taylor Swift, Mr. Pfizer (Travis Kelce). All to spread DEMOCRAT PROPAGANDA,” referencing past right-wing attacks against Kelce over his promotion of the Covid-19 vaccine.

“Calling it now: KC wins, goes to Super Bowl, Swift comes out at the halftime show and ‘endorses’ Joe Biden with Kelce at midfield.” Crispi added. 

Republican Georgia politician Kandiss Taylor wrote that she “tried to warn yall back in October that the influence of [Taylor Swift] on our youth with witchcraft was demonic, evil, and Luciferian.” 

“Of course, Satan wants to use her now to elect Joe back into the White House to destroy what’s left of America,” Taylor added. 

The right-wing troll accounts “End Wokeness” and conservative commentator Benny Johnson freaked out over an image of a magazine stand at a Barnes & Noble that had been stocked exclusively with Taylor Swift covers. 

“What’s happening with Taylor Swift is not organic and natural. It’s an op. We all feel it. We all know it,” End Wokeness wrote. 

Johnson echoed the sentiment, writing that “Taylor Swift is an op. It’s all fake. You’re being played.” 

One must really stretch the depths of credulity to convince oneself that Swift’s success isn’t a result of her record-breaking songs, albums, tours, movies, and a career that has redefined the music industry, but rather a government psyop that forced her to date an NFL star and take up entertainment as a career. 

It’s incredibly idiotic, but then again the online right-wing worldview has chosen bizarre conspiracies as their default setting for any event that captures the public interest. Taylor Swift is simply caught in their crosshairs.
