Wild conspiracy theories – Taylor Swift’s political opinions cause an uproar – News

It’s thought Taylor Swift could soon announce her support for Joe Biden. This possible “endorsement” of the pop star is causing a stir in the right-wing US media scene and giving rise to conspiracy theories. A lot about this episode is absurd – and yet it gives a deep insight.

The 34-year-old singer and songwriter Taylor Swift is a pop phenomenon. The fact that she could support Joe Biden was worth a surprising amount of airtime on the right-wing television station Fox News.

Sean Hannity, a very prominent Fox News figure, asked whether she knew that Biden was a staggering mess and couldn’t even get through a half-hour speech. Biden is also scary, Taylor should watch his videos.

It’s no secret where Taylor Swift stands politically: she supported Joe Biden in 2020. She has around 280 million followers on the social platform Instagram alone. After she asked her fans there to register as voters, the website vote.org recorded tens of thousands of new registrations. No wonder, the New York Times wrote, that the Biden campaign team is trying to get an “endorsement,” i.e. official support for Swift.

But this is where things get bizarre. «Taylor Swift is the biggest star in the world. But have you ever wondered why it took off like it did?” Fox News host Jesse Watters asked his audience. Perhaps Swift is being controlled by the Defense Department as part of a covert campaign.

This is nothing new: the US government forced the jazz musician Louis Armstrong to go on propaganda tours in Africa in the 1950s.

Swift’s relationship with football player

Travis Kelce, professional football player for the Kansas City Chiefs, is Taylor Swift’s new boyfriend. The athlete’s relationship with the pop star has really revved up the right-wing conspiracy machine.

This love story and the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs are now moving into the Super Bowl, the final of the professional league, could not be a coincidence.

Swift and Kelce are an artificially created couple, his team will win the Superbowl because the football league is manipulated, it is said on social networks.

The Superbowl, with its television audience of millions, will create a stage for Taylor Swift to declare her support for Joe Biden, predict conspiracy theorists from Donald Trump’s orbit. Fox News at least seems to suggest the conspiracy theory might be true.

Fox News commentator Charles Hurt explained that there are good reasons to assume that the pictures of the couple are a conspiracy. After all, people have already seen many examples: The Biden election campaign has already shown that all means are right to take action against the enemies.

Fox News continues to spread conspiracy theories

The episode surrounding Taylor Swift shows how widespread even the most absurd conspiracy theories are in Donald Trump’s environment. And how naturally Fox News, one of the big, powerful news networks, spreads these and other bizarre theories.

This is not new: Fox News also gave a big platform to the lie that the 2020 presidential election was rigged in favor of Joe Biden.
